How Do You Say "Impulse Buy?"

In order to get settled into our new home (once we are actually in posession of it), we need a few items. No need would qualify as "desperate"... just a few things we need to improve on. One of those would be a better bed. Another example would be a good over-stuffed chair. Perhaps more art for the walls. And an important one would be a couch. So the other night, Aaron and I decided to peruse Craigslist for a good and inexpensive couch. Instead, we found this.

The family who owned it was moving and needed to get rid of it and they were selling it for only 200 bucks. A piano...for 200 bucks... and more importantly, a piano that actually works. True, it needs to be refinished (which we can do ourselves) and it needs a bit of a tune-up (which shouldn't be too hard to schedule), but we couldn't pass it up. That's pretty typical, right? You go to find a couch and instead come back with a large musical instrument. For now, I'm sure the maid service on base is wondering why in the world we have a piano planted in the middle of our living room... at least for the time being, we can use the bench as coffee table :)
