Sittin on Cloud 9 (if clouds reclined and vibrated)

Guys! I just bought, as a total impulse purchase, a La-Z-Boy Airspa (R) massage recliner with heat and 10 motors! It has self-inflating and -deflating lumbar pillows, different modes of massage; it reclines and rocks; it fits me vertically and horizontally; and the fabric is oh-so-soft cream chenille! I had been playing with the idea of getting a recliner for my living room (it needs more seating) and when Vanessa moves out and takes a dining room set with her as she promised to do, I’ll have a nice space for a recliner or a loveseat that faces the living room and bigscreen TV as well as the dining area and kitchen. I meant to just look in the La-Z-Boy store to get some ideas when Mr. W and I walked by it on our way back to the car after breakfast, but then, there that chair was. Softer than anything (except Dodo, and parts of my lower abdomen), it rocks (in the colloquial and literal definitions), and it massages! I’ve always loved overstuffed furniture I could curl up in. And here’s the kicker. It was 50% off because that cream chenille fabric is being discontinued (the other models in different fabrics are still original priced at $1600), and this weekend’s sale is THE STORE PAYS SALES TAX! Woohoo! Mr. W has a truck, so I don’t even pay delivery. I was nervous about my cat perhaps taking a liking to the chair, but the salesperson said just to turn it on when the cat’s around and once Dodo sees that it vibrates, makes noise, and rocks, he won’t come near it. That’s true. Dodo hates the vacuum for the same reason. YAY!!
Not that you have any extra time… but if you do, I know exactly where it’ll be spent… I don’t have that recliner but I did buy something at Bed, Bath & Beyond that you put ON a reclinder (only like $300).. gives your back a massage.
Did you dip into Dodo’s savings for this? (wink)
Man, I didn’t even get to sit in it last nite. I fell asleep at my parents’ house until 1am so when I came home, I went to bed. Dodo so far seems disinterested in the chair, but I sprayed the bottom rim with cat repellant anyway, just in case. I won’t get to sit in it today, either, cuz I’m going to Mr. W’s daughter’s performance thing at her school this evening. Maybe Vanessa could get some use out of it.
