you spin me right round

Thanks again everyone for the birthday wishes! It was a great 2 days (I always count the 4th as my birthday as well). My day started with these<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfK2BKMrny7hiSBgf6OoG8JtntbFd2qhautbFG3U0YdUslDUn3Qop7ek13ugggDuBfgTbQOdk2jqJZA5A8aKxZpke5NjzloXwRi6EnEv90m4dqMF0iLtWgAXmdEDSY_dDqNjYF9aUDbzir/s1600/BDayFlowers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfK2BKMrny7hiSBgf6OoG8JtntbFd2qhautbFG3U0YdUslDUn3Qop7ek13ugggDuBfgTbQOdk2jqJZA5A8aKxZpke5NjzloXwRi6EnEv90m4dqMF0iLtWgAXmdEDSY_dDqNjYF9aUDbzir/s640/BDayFlowers.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white;">and kept getting better from there. This was 'the year of the table', as I got not 1 or 2 but 3 tables for my birthday this year. (Don't let my mom and I loose on the retail world). More on those tables another day but today I have a different table in mind. Or lack of a table rather.</span><br /><br />I'm narrowing in on a complete living room plan but one thing that is missing is a coffee table. Coffee tables are a touchy subject in this house as that is the only piece of furniture that has a 'the one that got a way' story. It is too sad to mention but just know that it had an antique round marble top and the most awesome and unique base...see I can't even talk about it. I'll cry. Anyway, moving on.<br /><br />We need a coffee table. A round coffee table.<br /><br />We could go with something in honor of 'the table that cannot be named'.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;
