Full Credit For Being Alive

I have a confession to make: I am suffering from severe furniture lust. My apartment is tiny and filled with shitty Ikea furniture. So when I see a nice piece of furniture, one that I have no room for but would love to own in the future, I have a reaction that can only be described as terrifying. Case in point: The Dude wants to get some sort of bar and/or wine hutch situation for his apartment. He sent me a link to this hutch from Pottery Barn and asked me what I thought about it.  Here’s what I emailed him:  Love it!  But here’s what I really thought:  THIS IS THE GREATEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN. I MEAN, LOOK AT ALL THE SPACE FOR WINE! AND DO YOU SEE ALL THAT CHEESE? I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITH MYSELF IF YOU HAD THIS IN YOUR APARTMENT. LOOK AT ALL OF THE WINE WE COULD DRINK AND ALL OF THE CHEESE WE COULD EAT! THAT IS SOME REAL AMERICAN CRAFTSMANSHIP RIGHT THERE. HONESTLY, I WANT TO LIVE INSIDE THAT CABINET UNTIL THE END OF TIME. IF YOU BUY IT WE COULD HAVE WINE AND CHEESE PARTIES, BUT NOT REALLY BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO SHARE THIS HUTCH WITH ANYONE EXCEPT YOU, AND I BARELY WANT TO SHARE IT WITH YOU BECAUSE I LOVE IT SO MUCH.  You guys, I am contemplating entering a polygamous relationship with The Dude, myself, and this hutch and I am not embarrassed by it. Help.
