I spent a lot of years livin' on-the-road. Maintained apartments here and there to store my meager possessions, to have a place to do laundry on occasion and receive mail but, airports and hotels were home. I made a life change a few years back and part of that was to "get back home" to CO, buy a house (a necessary portfolio add) and settle down. With that back-drop...

[WORTHLESS SUNDAY RANT ON]

I was and still am inexperienced at trying to turn a house into a home and I've learned something...HOLY F*** is this "stable life thing" outrageously expensive! I don't know how those of you with families have tolerated it over the long-haul without blowin' a gasket.

I'm still realin' from last year at the price of patio furniture. The expense associated with quality products blew my friggin' mind. But...I got passed that and did the deed. For the past two weeks I've started pursuing this years list, on it is "new sectional and dining table," amongst other things and Man...I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH A QUALITY SECTIONAL SOFA COSTS! Granted, I'm looking at higher-end custom products (little choice) but holy shit...

Screw the trivial healthcare debate...we should be having a national knock-down drag-out over pricing in the home furnishing and improvement industry...that shit costs way more than insurance and/or health expenses! I could have a heart-attack and end-to-end it would probably be cheaper than buying a damn couch! As a matter of fact, I think I'm having a heart attack right now just thinking about the prices of couches!

[/WORTHLESS SUNDAY RANT OFF]

While I jest a bit and I've never been "lost on reality" as the above hints at...dang...I'm thinking of going back on-the-road...less hassle and more cost effective than "livin' normally" like the rest of you good people!
