After searching craigslist week after week for something decent at a decent price..I finally got lucky. So I email the woman selling the desk and agree to meet her the next day so I could take a peek at the desk and possibly buy it (I already knew I wanted it just trying to play it cool). Then the next morning she e-mails me saying another woman is also coming to see the desk around the same time…”oh no…she’s going to buy it before I even get to look at it!” flashes through my head. So I tell her I’ll be there a little earlier (trying to beat the other girl to the punch) & then she tells me the other girl didn’t want to “race” for the desk and is passing. But still a lot of things on craigslist get sold pretty darn quick, happened to many times already to me. So I race over there with J.P. around 6PM with the money in my pocket….it won’t fit in our car though. DOH! So I give her the money to hold the desk for me until Friday (when I can get a friend with a truck) , but wait I gave some lady money to hold a desk? What if she sells it to someone else and just keeps my money? What if she doesn’t return my calls and decides she doesn’t want to sell the desk? She looked like a sweet girl, but looks can be deceiving right? Well Friday rolls around and we are late picking up the desk because our friends Chris is just getting off work… Oh no it’s a Friday night…I bet she’ll just leave and forget about the crazy desk girl! Nope. She calls me on our way over and I tell her “we are turning on your street right now!” We get there, and after bringing the desk down a flight of stairs (my goofy self is wearing flip-flops and had just put lotion on my feet..) which well went good considering I was helping out. :p Sooo now the before/after pictures, next is project computer chair…for right now I stole one out of the dining room. I have *counts on fingers* thhrreee(?) projects on the brain right now
