The other day when I was hanging out with Shawn he asked me what I liked least about my apartment. I told him it was my couch. When I woke up yesterday morning wondering what I was going to do all day, I thought about that conversation and
I started making excuses: I don't have a pickup, couches are too expensive, how would I get rid of the old one. Then I thought, well I am working on improving myself and my situation, why don't I start with my couch. So I texted my father-in-law
and asked him if he would help me get rid of my current couch, even if I didn't find a new one. He said that he would. Then I decided to go to the local rent-a-center and see if I could rent to own one for a reasonable monthly price. That
got hijacked because none of them were open on Sunday. Then I thought to myself, "Well I could bring the girls tomorrow. They would love helping me pick out a couch." That is what we did tonight. We found the most heavenly couch
for only 57.00/month. They wanted to sell me the love seat too, but frankly, I don't have the room, and I wanted to keep the cost down. I know that in the end I will end up paying about double what the couch is worth, but it is worth it because
I really do need one now, and there is no way I could drop 550.00 in one sitting. I know I could have gone to a thrift store, but I don't have a truck and the rent-a-center delivers. I try to ask as little of my father-in-law as I can because the
whole situation is just awkward. I love my in-laws to death, too bad things turned out the way they did.
