I am thrilled that I bought a new (to me) couch from Sis Chrissy. The one I had was awful, but I really didn't know that until it was out on the porch. I was wondering why no one wanted it. Then I really saw how old it is. Funny, it just looked tired to me till it was outside. Then the truth hit me: I was living with a horrible couch for years.

The new one is fresh and comfy, lovely burgundy chenille with dark wood arms, very soft and yet supportive. Yeah, I paid too much and it was a f*cker to get to my house. I loved it the whole time Sis had it and finally have it. Funny how one piece of furniture can make a room.

This morning the Date surprised me by showing up with a strong friend and his truck. They took away the old couch, which was a sleeper and extreeeemly heavy. So now the porch is nice again, the couches are sorted out, and life as we know can continue on its cute little path. Serenity.
