You're old, but are you excited-to-buy-a-new-rug old?

I’m “everything is too loud” old
yea, I'm hoping to find something that really ties the room together, you know
No. But I bought a pan (to make authentic tamagoyaki) and am waiting for it to arrive :)
You have no idea. Not only did I buy a new rug, i bought the same rug in different sizes so i could piece them together into one giant rug. It was glorious.
I'm still proud of it. No one i know cares when i tell them.
- I care and I think it’s neat! Show pictures!
- I have a crazy long hallway and found it so hard to get a runner that I love and is long enough. I ended up going with 2. But I wish I had thought of piecing them together and had bought a third one to do so. 2 isn't enough with the way the pattern repeats, and they don't quite cover the entire hallway.
  So I care. I'm quite impressed that you made your mega-rug a reality!
- I'd like to see that
  
  It just looked like a wall to wall shag carpet. You couldn't see the seams for a couple of years.
I was way more excited to buy a cool new rug for my room as a teenager than I am now, the one in my living room is annoying but I'm too lazy to look for a better one. So I don't really understand the concept. I guess I'm "I don't give enough fucks anymore about unimportant shit"-old.
At the price of current day rugs, you better be excited buying it, because God knows your bank account ain't gonna be.
I'm still at appliance level excited though, But I've never been excited about decorations, so chances are, I'll never hit that stage.
- You can absolutely get excited about a soft luxurious rug curling between your toes and keeping you warm and silent on a cold nights excursion to the bathroom, compared to the wide-awakening shock of a cold floor or even an uninviting prickly gross old rug. Decoration is a bonus.
Does it tie the room together?
