couchless

Can you believe, I still don't have a couch!?

Remember how I had that big couch meltdown? Well, soon after I left for Florida, and then I came back to quarterly taxes, a heap of work to catch up on and a cold! And alas, still no couch.

I sure wish I had the $1200 to just go out & buy a new one, but I don't... so Craigslist will probably be my ticket to a new couch, but that takes time and work. And no, I will not resort to a cheap one from IKEA. I got rid of my last one because it was uncomfortable, I'm not getting another uncomfortable couch! Anyway, hopefully I'll make time to look a little this week and if I'm lucky I'll be hauling a new one in next weekend! Cross your fingers! :)

Luckily I'm not much of a couch person. Hilariously there's only been a *small* handful of times in the last month I've even thought about sitting on it & wished I had one. The only downside of this is I'll bet my TIVO is deleting lots of great stuff simply because I haven't even turned on the TV to see what it's been recording in probably over a month!

Anyway - I just thought it might be funny to those of you who are regular readers: I still don't have a couch! haha

This is right up there w/ my wanting to sell my car. I'll post it, it'll get a few bites and then the posting will expire and I'll forget to repost it and weeks and months go by and I still have this same car. It's a good car, mind you. Just a bit expensive to fuel - which is really the whole point. That & a smaller car might cost less on insurance, too. It's an environmental/money saving decision, but obviously one not drastic enough to make me get my booty in gear to make it happen.

I've been thinking about taking it over to the Buggy Bank in the E. Bay, but then I'd be carless. And I could do this, with the exception of having to get out to the sunset 1x/week... but I'm fairly reliant on my car right now. So I'd have to really bite the bullet if I decided it was worth it. And it certainly would be worth it if I sold it within a couple weeks & then had all that money to buy a new car! But there again, if I'm looking on CL for my new car, it'd be handy to be able to drive to all the different locations to look at the cars! Quite the clusterf*k, huh?

Honestly, I wish I could just hire someone to do all this kind of stuff for me. It's so time consuming! Granted a boyfriend with a car would help that 2nd one out :) But my sweet carless boyfriend *will* be helping move the couch. Thank goodness!
