I CAN'T WAIT.....

OH MY, OH MY...I CANT WAIT TIL IT GETS HERE. LAST WEEKEND ON MY WAY HOME FROM FAIRMONT I STOPPED AT A FURNITURE OUTLET STORE AND FOUND THIS (see pic). I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT, BUT WASN'T SURE I SHOULD GET IT. ON BIG PURCHASES LIKE THIS I NEEDED ANOTHER OPINION. SO TODAY, AFTER A SUPER DUPER BIRTHDAY MEAL (for my dad) AT THE TIMBERLODGE- MOM, DAD AND I HEADED SOUTH TO SHOKAPEE TO RE-VISIT THE COUCH AND CHAIR I FELL IN LOVE WITH. OF COURSE- MOM MADE US WALK THOUGH THE WHOLE STORE LOOKING AT EVERYTHING ELSE THEY HAD TO OFFER. WE SPENT ABOUT AN HOUR WALKING AND SITTING AND LAYING ON RANDOM COUCHES AND CHAIRS UNTIL FINALLY I TOLD MOM I WANTED TO GO BACK AND SIT ON 'THE ONE'. WE SAT AND TALKED ABOUT IF IT WOULD FIT IN MY HOUSE, THE COLOR, THE PRICE...AND SO ON. THAN JIM CAME...THE SALES DUDE. BEFORE HE CAME I WAS PRETTY SURE I WAS GOING TO GET IT. BUT THAN- JIM TOLD US THERE WAS A 15% OFF SALE AND FREE FINANCING FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTHS. SUPER COOL. AFTER WE FIGURED WHAT MY MONTHLY PAYMENT WOULD BE I SORT OF GAVE A LITTLE UNSURE LOOK AND JIM STEPPED UP AND OFFERED ME A WHOLE YEAR OF FREE FINANCING- SO...I TOOK THE DEAL. I CANT WAIT FOR IT TO GET HERE. IT MAY TAKE UP TO 2 WEEKS TO GET READY FOR ME AND MY HOUSE- BUT THATS OK CUZ I NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET RID OF MY CURRENT COUCH AND CHAIR. ANY TAKES? DAD LOVED THEM AND MOM LIKED THEM...SHE JUST REALLY WANTED ME TO LOOK OTHER PLACES FIRST...BUT ME- ONCE I FIND SOMETHING I LIKE I HIGHLY DOUBT I'D FIND ANYTHING ELSE THAT COMPARS. SO I PURCHASED A COUCH, A CHAIR AND A HALF (thats what they call it), AND A OTTOMAN- PLUS 6 PILLOWS. I ALSO AM HAVING IT SHIPPED, GOT A 5 YEAR WARRANTY, AND AM GETTING THEM SPRAYED SO THEY DON'T FADE. TOTAL...I SPENT $1541.89. YEAH- THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY. BUT I AM SO EXCITED. CANT WAIT TO GET THEM IN MY HOUSE, RE-ARRANGE MY LIVING ROOM AND THAN HAVE FRIENDS OVER TO SHARE IN THEIR COMFORT. I TOOK THE COUCH FROM MY PARENTS BASEMENT (which was 6 years old already) AND HAVE HAD IT EVER SINCE...SO THAT MAKES MY OLD COUCH ALMOST 20 YEARS OLD, I'D SAY IT'S ABOUT TIME I SPENT SOME HARD EARNED MONEY ON A COMFY COUCH. I CANT WAIT!!!!! this is the chair and a half....it's about a 1/2 foot shorter than a love seat. love it!!!!
