So... I'm back in the Apple and I made the biggest commitment to my determination of making NYC work for me [other than signing my lease on my apartment] ....
I bought a COUCH.
and some plates too. [Pics coming soon. ... so GORGEOUS, GAUDY, AND OLD LADY'ISH..my fave thing ever]
Thats a big move for me. I have an air mattress, a pillow (1) and one AirTran blanket (don't worry I washed it) and close to 7 suitcases worth of clothes and shoes. I have been living like the ultimate gypsy with a crash spot. But now ... I made a full on commitment. I bought my first purchase and this is my promise to myself that I am here to stay... next purchase/service: PAINTING... after that : a BED
I went through hell getting that damn couch.. so im very sensetive about it.. and if you visit you cant eat on it.. or do anything on it.. just look at it. [loooooooooooong story short... me and this lady (Mrs.Brenda was her name)
fought over this couch we both had our eye on [ at the Salvation Army] because she saw me grab the ticket and her friend ( Mr.Joe)
worked as the manager over the furniture department and was trying to give it to her..(until I asked to speak to the manager) Fuck that.. you know if I want something Im soooo gonna get it.. I fought hard for my couch.. tooth and nail... it was well worth it.. a $2,000 brand new couch , Italian made, for $150]
Why am I so proud and sensi about this couch? Because... not once did I snap, curse, lose my cool, or go off on the bitch. It was turning point in my life... not only to my commitment to living in the Apple... but also turning a new leaf and realizing .. throwing a temper tantrum does not solve all problems in life [not that I do that on the reg... but *BITCH* mode comes out quick when someone tries me or my patience gets shot].
Im growing up.
