the loft

thinking myself clever I decided that it would be best to do all furnishing through craigslist, the free and for sale sections. it began working like a charm! my girl and i searched yardsales, contacted some people and were off with a bang on saturday. i felt that i'd made out like a bandit after getting a free bookshelf, free desk, huge mirror for super cheap, and my prize, a loft bed for only $30!

I got home and my dearest friend Wiz helped me get all of these things inside, after picking me up from the bus station and just generally being an angel since I arrived. and then it happened. i decided to assemble the loft and realize something is missing. luckily i have the instructions with me and realize the "something" missing is the main part of the bed, the part which the mattress actually lays on, which links the two ends together!

well. we had to do some backtracking to the event. attempt one found no one at home. attempt two revealed that "the twins" were home alone. well-meaning, these identical twins holding the yard sale so the proceeds can go to a charity they began, twins4tanzania, looked around for the missing piece and pointed out anything metal or wood in the garage as the potential part...none of these items were the missing piece.

two days have passed. it has yet to be found. tomorrow is d-day. find bed, or get refund

(even if its for charity i'm just too broke!) i feel like i cant start classes without a bed!
