I think I have sunk to a new low
We are having Thanksgiving Dinner here next week, and because my brother is allergic to cats, I have to do a deep cleaning on the house, to include washing the upholstery. I went out and bought some new furniture today so I don't have to wash as much.
My only defense is that we were planning on getting new furniture in the next year or so (my set was 14-1/2 years old) and we got it at a good deal. We just moved up the time line a bit.
