Things had been a little awkward in the living room since the chairs stopped speaking to the rest of the furniture.

{How would you caption this photo?}

Not good with the one-liners, but this reminds me of an awkward early teen dance where everyone wears their Sunday clothes. -With a room full of wallflowers. Except for Fancy Legs – she is ready to cut a rug – in fact – she is already out on the rug – everyone else is too shy.

So he realized the relationship was over when he came home from his 30th business trip of the year only to find that she was gone and took all the furniture except the ugly chairs. Yeah, the ones HE picked out.

The family, albeit in frames, were so appalled by the living room’s layout they turned their backs to it in shame.

(But I like Eileen’s better! :-)

Also…I think the Gaga cupcake just made my night!!
