Another craigslist find...

Finally – I am rid of those ugly nightstands.  Yes, I miss the drawer space – and it’s been a bit of a scramble trying to find a place for pajamas, shirts, socks and underwear, but this little table ($25 on craigslist) is so much cuter.  At least I think so – and Tom remarked (bless their hearts, they picked it up for me) that I have finally gotten rid of the last piece of bedroom furniture from my old house - and my old life.  I hadn’t really thought about it until he mentioned it – I mean, I hated the heavy look of the things and the way the top drawers wouldn’t pull all the way out.  Putting things away in the drawers was a pain in the butt – but he’s right.  All the sad reminders of the home we gave up and the life that I thought was so happy are gone.  I no longer have anything in my new home that I don’t like – or that I didn’t specifically choose.  The living room furniture and my desks were at the office, but I picked them out because I liked them – and I still do.  I’m really the only one that spent any amount of time at the office, so there are only those good memories associated with those things.  And – the ugly nightstands went to a good home.  Jonathan’s mother wants to use them in her living room as a television stand.  He’s picking them up this afternoon.
See – we’re all happy with the way things turned out.
