Centreville, Virginia: a Centreville couple made history today when the husband came home to find his wife had rearranged the furniture for the 167th time since moving there in December 1999.
"Normally, I don't even notice the place has been rearranged until I am home for a few hours. I might go to turn on the TV and find a bookshelf in its place. Or I start to sit in my favorite chair and land on my butt because it's now on the other side of the room. But this time I noticed since it had only been a week since configuration number 166."
When asked about her proclivity to rearrange, Mrs. Harper said "I just can't seem to make things fit right in his front room. Some people collect stamps. Some do needlepoint. I rearrange."
Mrs. Harper sometimes displays almost superhuman powers when in one of her rearranging frenzies. “I don't know how I had the strength to move the couch up from the basement. Especially since it took Daniel and two other friends to get it down there in the first place. Maybe it has something to do with being four months pregnant. It's my nesting instinct I guess. “
Asked how long she might stick with the new furniture layout, Mrs. Harper gushed: "oh I finally really like the way the room looks. This is how it's going to stay for a while."
Mr. Harper then erupted in laughter.
