lunabee34We bought a couch and a loveseat for about a grand less than I thought we'd have to spend! We bought an area rug and throw pillows for the couches. We cleaned Kroger out of groceries (including some delectable sauces on close out prices!).
And! And! And! We got our entire deposit back on the rental. I mean, we have been good tenants; always paid our rent on time ($84,000 worth of rent *cries*) and we have taken good care of the property. But! We've lived in the house for ten years, so it needs to be repainted, and the carpet needs to be replaced (it was stained in places when we moved in), and I was afraid we would be denied or only given part of it. When I took the property manager around and showed her all the stuff we'd done (like installing bars and shelves in all the closets which had just been useless tiny rooms or installing towel racks in all bathrooms and installing medicine cabinets), she was very impressed and just immediately signed us the check. I thanked her for being such a good landlord, and then she told me that she really appreciated the kind words because she had to delete her Facebook recently because of the constant abuse from tenants; I'm honestly floored. This company has been amazing landlords, immediately responsive to any problems or things that break. I mean, the property manager gave me a Christmas present this year. That she made. This just reinforced my notion that having a Facebook as an educator is a horrible idea. All I need is some kiddo's mom blasting me for giving their kid's essay in which Poe's Israfel doth dwell in a clock tower in NJ a bad grade.
I want to buy all the furniture. It is starting to become a sickness. LOL I want like a chaise lounge for my bedroom and a fancy bench for the end of my bed and three or so end tables and a club chair and a linen chest and a china cabinet and a different cabinet for some other stuff and *takes a breath*. I will forbear but damn. I WANTS MY PRECIOUS!
