I had a funny realization after the mattress delivery guys left yesterday.

I looked around my house and realized that there are things I live with everyday, that i don’t think about, and sometimes don’t even really look at or see, that having a stranger, especially one who isn’t somehow attached to my social network might see and at minimum think is odd.

I don’t really mean the dragon statues, or the massive stacks of books and dvds, the room full of yarn or the 5 computers . . .

Well for example we have a piece of art we got at a con a few years ago, its a really nice print of a forest god… in ALL his glory.  It isn’t quite all “hanging out”, but once you see his bits, they become unmissable. But honestly when we bought it we didn’t notice until we were taking it out to the parking lot, and I walk past it everyday now and forget that I have a naked man on the wall. Honestly I wouldn’t have thought about it yesterday, except that I noticed that the delivery guys had taken it down from the wall to get the mattress up the stairs safely. Which meant they probably had to look at it . . .

Think about your house, do you have anything like that?
