This house echoes like you can't believe. We are constantly yelling "what?? I CAN'T HEAR you!" And it's really not so much that we can't hear each other - it's just with the sound bouncing off the tile floors and the high ceilings, we just can't make out what the words are.
In order to mitigate that issue (boy, do I LOVE the word mitigate - don't get to use it often enough), I'm trying to get more textiles in the house. Here's the cheap rug for the kitchen that I bought at Overstock.com. Love that Overstock.com - it's like having TJMaxx in my living room - and only $2.95 shipping. NO MATTER WHAT YOU BUY. Bought Carey a bed that had to be delivered by a big truck. Shipping? $2.95. Hmph. I can't mail a paperback to my mom for that. If you're on the mailing list, they often offer free shipping. Oh - and there's no sales tax. Take that, TJMaxx.
