I Heart Craigslist

Check out this find:

I know, Craigslist isn't new to, well, anyone, but this was my first purchase. And I love it. I've decided I'm sick and tired of our old computer/office chair, and the fact that it's too low, ugly, and my legs fall asleep in it during my weekly push to finish my homework. I did a quick scan of what was for sale (for cheap), and up popped this shabby-chic little turquoise number.

The story behind the chair is even better...I met the sweet Australian woman at her Heritage Hill house, where she pointed to the camper she and her husband were moving into! She explained that her husband was nearly finished with his ER residency at the same hospital where I work, and they'd decided to sell their house, pack up the few belongings they decide to keep, and travel the country while he works temporary travel physician jobs! How exciting is that?!? Even more exciting that I got her to take $10 instead of $15. It's showing some wear, but I actually like it that way. Hopefully some of this nice couples' positive attitude and sense of adventure stayed with the chair!

Now, let's have lunch!

Hmm...not quite what I was thinking.

EDIT: I almost forgot! Time to remind you all to donate blood again (I'll be doing this more often)...if you're in Grand Rapids there's a drive at our church on Sunday from 9a-noon: Trinity UMC, 1100 Lake Drive. It costs you NOTHING but a prick of discomfort to save up to 3 people's lives...lives like Paige!
