DS and I went to the neighborhood pool yesterday and as we were leaving I see a piece of furniture on the curb. At this point DS groans (I may have a problem picking stuff up, but I'll never admit it!). We drive up to it and stop. It is the most gorgeous roll top desk! I get out and look all over and it is in very good condition, minimum flaws. I tell DS I WANT that!!! He says, "where are you gonna put it, and what will you do with it?" Me: "I don't know,but I'm getting it,". DS: " that won't fit in the jeep, and what will daddy say." (Did I mention I might have a slight problem getting furniture off the curb?). So I send a pic to DH (he works from home) and I call him. He answers the phone with "let me guess, that is in the jeep". ME: "no I coming home for the truck and I need your help loading it!"
I run home grab DH and say this won't take but a minute, switch to the truck, race around the block, because I know that in the 5 mins I have been gone somebody will drive by (deep in the neighborhood at 1pm) and snatch it from me.
As we picked it up I realized what a great piece it is because it weighed a TON. That is a solid wood desk. Not a piece of particle board to be found.
Now I just have to find a place to put it.....
Ugh picture won't load.... ETA: loaded
