Kamilah says, “What kind of lame ass bamboo prison is this?”

We needed a new piece of office furniture after Michael finally convinced me to let him pitch out our dilapidated futon. I wanted to move the chaise from the bedroom to the office and then put a chair in the corner as an alternate bed for Kamilah.

This is my second papasan chair. The first (including black cushion) was purchased this Spring at Salvation Army for $22. This frame (sans cushion) was free next to the dumpster in the apartment complex.

I wondered what to use for a new cushion and had the bright idea to use a sleeping bag. I bought a navy one at Salvation Army for $2.50.

I made the mistake of laying it over Michael as he lounged on the couch last night. He claimed it for couch napping and nights when my snoring drives him from the bedroom. I pointed out the pink and blue flannel lining. He said, “I’m okay with that” and burrowed in further.

So I’m on the hunt for another sleeping bag or really large pillow in nice condition.

Update: I found another sleeping bag at Goodwill a few weeks later. It was also navy but kid sized (my size!), with a red and blue flannel lining. It makes a great replacement cushion for the second papasan in the bedroom which is for Kamilah’s use only. Plus, the sleeping bags can actually be used when we go camping.
