Fugitive Status Averted

Monday I went downstairs to do a load of laundry.  Just a quick rearranging of the current loads, no folding or hanging.  I come back upstairs to find that the Wren has written all over the YELLOW leather couch in pen.  Holy Christ.  We are going to have to leave town.  And possibly the country.  Maybe even the continent. 
My husband is always giving me shit for leaving my pens in or on my crossword puzzle books.  Even with the lid on.  Apparently this is why.
Thank Christ for the Internet.  Rubbing alcohol takes ink off leather. 
It also shows just how dirty the leather is by somehow removing only the ink and not the actual dirt.  I am so glad it came out.  There were a few moments when I seriously considered how employable I was in Patagonia.  The Wren is young enough that she could get used to a new first name.

She also wrote all over my crossword.

  1. This made me smile. If you are considering an over seas move, make sure you get a place big enough so I can come visit.
