I am cracking up at myself. I am looking at this blog right now thinking, "hmmm, maybe I should post one more picture of myself up here, there just AREN'T enough!" hahaha
Actually, the way I see it, I have spent my life as a people pleaser and it pretty much got me nowhere, so if I want to post a few blog pics about myself, I think that is okay.
So did I happen to blog about my dumpster diving experience about a week ago? This was totally cool. In the back of my mind, I have been thinking that I will need another desk for my son's homeschooling next year since he will be in High School. He will be getting his own computer, and thusly will need his own desk. Since finances are a little tight at present, I wasn't quite sure how I was going to be able to afford that. So I put my feelers out into the Universe, and spoke the word that we needed a desk. In answer to my prayer, my phone rings and it is my neighbor calling me...she says somebody got evicted from one of the units in our complex and all their furniture was in the dumpster. She wanted to know if I could help her carry a few chairs home. I walked out to the dumpster and the chairs were sadly gone...but as I peered INTO the dumpster I saw an entire computer desk, and a pretty cool looking lamp! (which I have also been needing for my living room). I don't know how I did it, leverage, elbow grease...whatever...but I was able to maneuver the desk out of the dumpster and got my kids to help me carry it home. Now Dante has a computer desk. On the downside, the lamp I brought home didn't work. I was about to throw it back into the dumpster, but decided to call my dad instead. I asked him if he knew how to re-wire a lamp and he thought he could help. Long story short, the lamp is now in working order!! YAY ME!
I have had one of those weeks, where I feel almost magical. It's weird, in a good way. hmmm, let's see if I can dig up another picture of myself...JUST KIDDING!
