The Rug Saga

So, this week I find myself obsessed with rugs.

It’s strange how that works. I like to think myself a rational human being with proper priorities. 

I don’t consider myself perfect by any means, but considering everything that I have on my plate, you’d think rugs would be way down there on my list of obsessive thoughts. The list should really go like this:

      1.  Homework assignment due Tuesday

            2.  Reading for class

            3. Work

            4.  Moving into our house completely.

            5. Laundry

Wow. That list is excessively boring.

I still find it curious rugs have taken over. I think the obsession stems from the weird conviction I have that they will turn my house into a home. Or maybe it’s because I am incredibly lazy, and I want to lay down comfortably where I so choose, and not feel the need to get back up, and hard wood floors are generally rather uncomfortable.

Anyway, rugs are expensive, and I’m horribly picky. Everything in my living room is brown. The couch cover is brown, and the curtains are brown. Well, that’s about everything in my living room so far, but I am determined that this rug will be the magical piece that will pull everything together. That will draw the eye, but not take over. That will pop with color, and transcend trends. This mythical rug will also be  as soft as clouds, but durable and hot-chocolate-and-blood-stain-resistant, because that will happen someday. (Side note:  a fictional story ran through my mind involving an incident that would result in both of these stains happening simultaneously. It was hilarious, and frighteningly plausible. Come up with your own scenario, it will amuse you.) Also, it would be nice if it could fly, you know, to save on gas.

And I want all of this for under $100.00.

Ideally.

I have not yet found this rug, but I will valiantly continue my quest, and keep you informed.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated, so I can exert all my efforts into curtains.
