New TV stand and New (to us) TV

And so it begins.

And so it is completed in its very basic format.  And it would be completed further if I didn't have to leave right this moment to see a movie with a friend.  

And now it is later and it has shelves and a door.  But only one door because we bought too large of doors for the other side.

And so our old TV stand and old TV are sitting to the side of the living room. 

(I put the TV stand on the curb and it was gone in 12 hours.)

And so Matt must repackage the wrong doors to return to Ikea

And so Sentinel must explore the new furniture. 

And so we must check the new TV.

And so the cat must explore the other side of the new furniture.

And so it is cute.

So very, very cute.

Thanks Mom for the new TV!  It's much larger than the old one.

A Beary Merry Christmas: Decembear 14

Intro is here. 

Oh "He" bear, how did you get on the roof?  Should you really be out there, you with your tiny brain?  I can only guess that you are looking for Santa going down the chimney.  But it's too early for that.

Office Holiday Party and White Elephant Gift Exchange.

We were at Ikea buying a new TV stand and I picked up this foam candelabra for a white elephant gift.  I also wrapped up the Ikea ornaments I don't use anymore.  And that's Ikea wrapping paper.  It's kind of an Ikea thing.

Intro is here. 

Ah-ha!  So now we know that rooms are assigned!  And "He" bear has been exiled to the attic.  And someone is sleeping in his bed, yet he doesn't seem concerned.  Also, no Christmas here. 

In one of the greater "No way!" moments of my life, I just Googled "A Beary Merry Christmas Advent Calendar"  It seems my loathed advent calendar is selling for a pretty penny on ebay.  Or at least being offered for a pretty penny.  The uncut fabric panels are selling for over $100.00 and even the finished ones are going for a lot of change.  There's one right now that is nicely quilted and very pretty and only $42.00.  It's missing the bear, though.  Another finished one is offered for $300.00 with 11 people watching. Who knew I was sitting on such a treasure trove of theoretical cash?

Intro is here.

Why hello random stray piece of thread.  Welcome to Decembear 12.

Again, odd place to look.  Maybe it's because they don't have any TV that "He" bear doesn't understand that Christmas can't be found in a toy chest.  Also, the 12-year-old boy in me is chuckling at their use of "chest."  Why not toy box?

A Beary Merry Christmas: Decembear 11

Intro is here.

I like that they have a playroom, but only two bedrooms.  Counting "He" there are nine bears pictured on this calendar.  Nine bears, two beds?  The dollhouse isn't a bad place to look though.  Maybe the living room in the dollhouse is decorated for Christmas and "He" bear will think to look in his own living room.  Don't hold your breath, though.

Again with the generic.  The dresser drawers?  Just whose drawers are those?  Probably not "He" bear, because all "He" needs is a bow.
