Dinner for one

Jarrett sent me this picture that his friend Kristal snapped of a TV tray table that she found at a second hand store. I'm not sure who would have ever given up this fantastice decoupaged piece of work. I'm also not sure why Kristal didn't buy the table.

Strangely enough, I think I've seen another TV watching accessory made out of that same material. My friend JaneAnne (who I sing with) and her husband are fairly involved in the Portland Affirmation group. Back in December we had a get together with the choir we both sing in and the same night was the Affirmation Christmas party. JaneAnne asked me if I wanted to go with her to the Affirmation party after our choir thing and catch the last part, which was the white elephant gift exchange. I went and I swear there was a pillow that was part of the exchange that was made out of the exact same material.

Actually, if I remember correctly, I think someone at the party actually made the pillow. Now I'm wondering if they also decoupaged this tray table. I think the next step clearly is to make a matching Snuggie. Can you think of a better way to welcome my home teachers over for a visit? "Go ahead and share your message while I sit here in my Snuggie and finish up dinner. Here's a pillow if you need some lower back support."

Other funny side note about this party: the gift that I brought was a pair of baggy gangsta' jeans that I got from Marshall's for Halloween. I failed to notice that the patch on the side of the jeans had the words "raw & uncut". It didn't take long however for other party goers to catch that and get some mileage from it.

PS, I love Zooey Deschanel. I guess that should come as no surprise, because as my friend Ninny told me, every man is in love Zooey Deschanel, even (and I would probably say especially) the gay ones.
