The Spontaneous Couch

Another item off my unexpected list: buy a couch on the spree of the moment!

My apartment is like an empty land now - it looks more spacious than the tiny 326 feet that it is. But I need a bed to sleep on, and my trusty Craig's list had a sofa bed for immediate delivery. That was my only qualification. Immediate delivery. I called the poster, didn't negotiate the price, and asked to have it delivered on the same day.

Online, it was supposed to be made of fabrics, a swell black and red checked sofa. In reality, the red and black combination sold out, the seller nonchalantly mentioned that he had black and white. It was made of microfiber BTW, not fabrics. I didn't even blink. I said yes in his mid-sentence. I "blind"-bought a couch.

As fate would have it, despite suspense, doubt, and the unconventional way that it was brought to me, couch turned out to be a stunner. Black and white blend nicely with my wall color. Sometimes you just have to trust serendipity, don't you?
