Get That Thing Out of My Living Room!

A while back, I told Hubby that I liked to play air hockey. I said we should go to the local game room and play it sometime. He said we would, but it never happened. And then one day he up and decides to buy me an air hockey table.

Normally, that wouldn’t be a bad thing. He got an excellent deal on it, and it’s great for when we have company. But we really had nowhere to put it. It ended up in my living room, and it’s still there.

Now, the living room we have now is probably larger than any living room we’ve had, but with that table in it, it’s tiny. He moved my TV stand that I use as a decorative table to the hallway, and crammed a chair into the corner where nobody can sit in it. Not cool.

I’ve been after him to move it ever since he brought it home. But I don’t think we could get it in the basement, and even if we could, the dampness and leaks down there would ruin it. The garage would be an option if there wasn’t so much junk out there, but there’s no electricity in it for now. So I guess the only options are to leave it where it is or sell it.

One of those things (or at least a temporary move to the garage) is going to have to happen very soon. Come hell or high water, I’m going to have a place to put a Christmas tree.
