Sweet Deal

I got a fantastic deal on some baby furniture today.  My wife and I are starting to "try" for a second kid, and I was sweating bullets about having to furnish the "office" into a 2nd baby's room.  I'll be relegated to the basement like a troll, but hey, at least it's cool down there. 

Anyway, my Mom calls me at work on Friday and asks if I would be interested in some baby furniture.  Someone she works for was looking to sell a crib, toddler bed, changing table/dresser and chest/bookshelf along with a glider rocker and ottoman for 500 bucks.  I asked her if it was stolen or recovered from a fire.  Apparently the woman selling them wanted to sell them to someone who would take care of it, since it was in perfect condition and wanted it to stay that way.  This stuff is amazing.  500 bucks for what I figure would run me 3 grand easy.  Best part is, my Mom split the cost with me so she could give the crib to my brother, who needs it for his 3rd kid who's been sleeping in a shoebox or something.

Gotta love bargins.  Only drawback was blowing a whole Sunday afternoon sweating my nutsack off picking up the furniture and delivering it to my garage where it shall sit for several months until I'm ready for it upstairs.  Now I just have to start redecorating the room up here.  Paint the walls whatever color my wife wants them painted, have carpet laid over the painted wood floors up here and start aiming the sperm at the egg again.

Sheesh
