Gary can’t stop clicking this link to recommend Catalog Living to be listed in the Tumblr humor directory. Elaine wants to think about it first.

Lacking inspiration...
Gary, have you finished writing that song for me yet? Gary? Gary?!?!?!
Anonymous asked: How do I find you on Facebook?
Picking up signals...
Gary and I have slept in separate beds for years, but last night he left me a tied-up stack of books on my foot-of-bed-bench. I think he’s in the mood.
Gary shouldn't mess with technology...
Not sure why the RSS Feed isn’t displaying pictures. Elaine is taking the day off work to look into the problem.
All the comforts of home...
We’re so happy you could visit! The room’s all made up for you, and I ripped out some pages of my favorite book and taped them to your wall in case you’re like me and enjoy reading before bed.
Climate control...
Elaine wasn’t about to let some hot flashes get in the way of balancing the checkbook with the abacus.
Gary doesn't get it but Elaine thinks it's great...
You can now follow @catalogliving on twitter.
Keeping the doctor away...
Elaine should have known better than to interrupt Gary during “apple time.”
Anonymous asked: June 22 photo...turquoise...what catalog is that?? thank you!
Don't test me...
Gary! If these oars even come close to knocking over a single one of my starfish, I’ll shove one inside you. And if you leave your tote bag by the chair one more time…
A twist of something...
Elaine was not amused by Gary’s passive-aggressive response to her request to “garnish the cocktails.”
Making do...
It broke through the wall during the last big storm and we decided just to leave it.
Letting the universe know...
Oh that? That’s my Wish Plant. It’s where I clip pictures of people who I want dead.
Time to stock up...
Oh dear, our Q-Tip decanter is almost 1/5th depleted.
This seat is taken...
I’ve only set out personalized towels for Margaret and Patrick, but I see three people arriving on horseback…if they’re bringing a friend I wish they had told me ahead of time. The embroiderer is fast but not that fast.
Everything in its place...
Hi Nancy, it’s Elaine. I’m going to be a little late for lunch. I can’t find my hat or my back-up hat.
Everyone is looking...
No one could ignore the obvious racism of Elaine’s side table arrangement.
Someone must be punished...
Gary! I was just reading a book from the under-bed basket and I looked up to see that someone forgot to put away the twine last night.
Follow directions...
Greta, the invitation specifically said to bring a yellow or white food or drink. Now, please remove your brown cookies at once.
Keep track of your belongings...
Hon, where’s my string of old-timey buoys? Oh wait, I found them. Hey, lobsters and limes for dinner AGAIN???
It's been a rough day...
I’d invite you in, but Gary and I got in a bit of a fight after he had one too many bottled waters. He stormed out of the room so fast he only partially pushed in his chair! And I was right in the middle of my yellow book…
A peaceful ending...
After achieving his life’s work of balancing the wicker ball on the radio, Terrence carefully removed his hat and went for his final swim.
Being a good hostess...
Just make yourself at home! If the sheets on the bed aren’t gray enough there are grayer ones in the drawer. And we just got the latest issue of Wallpaper magazine!
Outdoor entertaining...
Sweetheart, the Turners will be here any minute now! Did you put the plate of figs under the table?
