Couch Surfing

Alex slept part of the last two nights on the couch. That's how good our new sectional is. We totally splurged on this Macy's oversized chenille sofa I'd been eyeing for months. We sold our own Craigslist-purchased sectional, again on Craigslist, for $100. It took only 7 minutes to get my first of several dozen emails inquiring about the fairly priced furniture, and in just a few hours a sad 40+ year old man arrived and took away our (secretly broken) couch. We never did mention that we had a dog who likely peed on it when the Bean was born. Or that I breastfed hours and hours away on that couch. Or the fleas. Oh, the fleas. We spent a couple days furniture-free, and I was more delighted than a kid on Christmas morning when the Macy's deliverymen arrived and assembled our new slate-colored sofa. Because the sectional was far beyond our budget ($2700 at full price, and I only disclose this here for the sake of posterity), we financed the bad boy, budgeting about $175/month for a year, no interest. So far, we are so in love. Swooning. Finding excuses to laze around, watching Burn Notice, reading to the Bean on the couch rather than in her room. Most luxurious purchase I've ever made, and worth every penny we still owe.
