The new new reclinersSo you remember my near rapture regarding the new recliners, right? I mean, how could you forget? Well, if you really look close at the pictures in my “The Recliners have Landed” post, you’d see that they don’t exactly look just like the recliner in the “My poor back begs of you” post. Sure, same recliner, but same color? Yeah, ours were a little darker… but they were recliners so shutup. Right? K kept asking me, “Are you sure these are brown?” Yeah, why not? Who cares? Leave me alone.

Well, they weren’t brown. They were OLIVE. K resolved to call Ashley Furniture in the morning to clear it up but he confessed to be rather fond of the olive after all. It was so nice and dark. I could probably have cared less. It was soft, it was mine, no one was leaving me recliner-less.

Before K could call them, they called us. Apparently, they’d been rather frantic, searching the warehouse for olive recliners that were supposed to be delivered to a customer tomorrow. Did we happen to have olive recliners instead of cocoa ones? Why, as a matter of fact, we did. The lady on the other end sounded extremely relieved. She arranged for a delivery van to drive out to our house and swap out the olive chairs with the proper cocoa ones.

I told K to kiss his olive recliners goodbye. The proper chairs were delivered and once again all is right with the world. These chairs are most certainly brown. And K says they’re growing on him too, though he things that loveseat we need to replace the sofa with should be olive cuz it looked so smokin’ in our living room. Whatever. Just leave me alone to sit in my fluffy recliner in peace.
