My wife and I have not had anything nice for a long time.  After many years of marriage, we decide to get a nice set of bedroom furniture. We found a super deal at Christmas time with delivery in February.  There were 2 end tables, a vanity with a mirror, a king size bed, and a tall chest of drawers.  It was made our of oak and we were excited.

Delivery came.  As they brought in the furniture,  a slight wave of nausea began to envelop us with each piece.  Slowly but surely we came to the sudden realization that IT WOULDN"T FIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Our bedroom was small and we could not fit it all in.  I told her that if we did staggered breathing we might be able to have it all around us.  After an all day affair of moving furniture, spinning furniture, measuring furniture, and rearranging furniture, we got it to fit.  KINDA!!!!!!  My end table is sideways and I have to get in bed slowly each night or I will severely hurt myself  (LOL).  First episode of something not fitting.

Oh no we are not finished yet.  Several weeks later our TV blew.  YES!!!!   I had nothing to do with it.  REALLY.  Anyway we go shopping.  We had a certain size in mind.  However being a male, I saw a larger tv with more features that was a better price.  Really it was even though my wife does not believe me.  I was estatic.  We had a coupe from the store help us wheel it out.  And then a slight wave of nausea began to envelop us as we tried to put it in the car.  BINGO!!!!!!  It wouldn't fit.  How embaraasing.  However I was determined that we were taking that tv home if I had to strap it on my back and walk.  After much anguish, sweat, and strained muscles, we got it in, without the box of course.  Second episode of something not fitting.

What will be the third?   I am sure it is right around the corner.  I will keep you in formed because I am fairly certain that yours truly will do it again.

:lol: Time to expand the master bedroom :) When i bought my TV, i paid for them to deliver it for 50 bucks, no hookup service, just bring it to my house and put it down where i say to put it down. I could easily have fit it in my F150 and i'm sure i could have had a store person help me load it. The problem is on the home end, the wife can't help with this kind of stuff so i'm shit out of luck for help with anything big/heavy. So i just paid them to drop it off. 50 bucks well spent.
