		<description><![CDATA[My dog loves to sleep on the tops of my cushions too! Which doesn&#039;t improve the couch&#039;s appearance but keeps my dog immensely happy. There was never a thought in my mind to discourage her from snuggling on the cushions, she owns my heart. Besides my husband hated the loose cushion comfy couch idea and would like nothing better than a new fixed cushion leather sectional. But even he will take one of the cushions onto the floor and finds that soooo convenient and comfortable. Congrats on Homer, he&#039;s a doll.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dear Thelma--&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;   What, you think my bookshelves are disorganized?!? [g]&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;   Actually, the bookshelves are very carefully organized, because I have to be able to locate a given one (of several thousand books)_when_ I need it, and not spend hours dredging through the house for it while I&#039;m writing.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;    That said, my office is in the process of being remodeled, which means all of the free-standing shelves were hauled out, most of their contents carefully boxed (so I can still find things when needed, even if I do have to go to the garage to do so.  argh!), and the things that I just _have_ to have close to hand were of necessity piled into the built-in shelves (where my core reference collection lives), along with the constant tide of incoming TBR books (because the bookcase where those normally live is gone, too).]]></description>

<p>   What, you think my bookshelves are disorganized?!? [g]</p>
<p>   Actually, the bookshelves are very carefully organized, because I have to be able to locate a given one (of several thousand books)_when_ I need it, and not spend hours dredging through the house for it while I&#8217;m writing.</p>
<p>    That said, my office is in the process of being remodeled, which means all of the free-standing shelves were hauled out, most of their contents carefully boxed (so I can still find things when needed, even if I do have to go to the garage to do so.  argh!), and the things that I just _have_ to have close to hand were of necessity piled into the built-in shelves (where my core reference collection lives), along with the constant tide of incoming TBR books (because the bookcase where those normally live is gone, too).</p>
