Am I the only one who gets totally excited when garbage day comes? Usually the night before, people put their "trash" curbside...hoping it all gets taken! Here in our town, we have rules and limits...it can be quite extreme...I never truly know what is acceptable!! But this week...I hit the jack pot!! A neighbour who use to live a couple doors down, has moved! Back in August he told me, "in 6 days I am moving to death!" I didn't know how to reply. Looking puzzled and lost for words, I waited for him to explain! Turns out he is going to a retirement home...!! I felt terrible for him...and the conversation was left there...!
This Monday night, his Son placed something curb side...and it wasn't till Tuesday morning at 6:30 when I knew I wanted it! Slowly I crept outside...not wanting to be seen as the neighbour that brings your "trash" in. I can just imagine...people wondering and assuming that the insides of my home resemble their home! None the less....sitting curb side was a beautiful chair. Nothing wrong with it! Dated? Maybe! Broken or damaged? Not at all!! I carried it quickly back to the house!! Giddy with excitement, it is now sitting in the kitchen! Hubby was the only one who didn't realize it was new. He thought it was similar to another one......which I found on Kijiji by the way!!
Tuesday night....the Son was back at it again...cleaning things out!! And something caught my eye!! It was getting late and I decided...if its meant to be, it will be there at 4:30 in the morning! It was!! With my jacket on...covering my nightie...I darted like a wild animal...down the sidewalk and over to the pile....it was a chandelier!! Hubby came out and just starred at me! I quickly and quietly whispered, "just seeing if its not too large for our dinning room!" It's not!! It needs some work!! But I'm excited to get to these two things started this weekend!!
Stay tuned for pics....!!
So...what excites you....??
