Music: Eliot Sloan - I Want You
Went to Wal*Mart (the dreaded enemy of Kmart) to get some furniture 'cause I wasn't really finding anything at Kmart. I found a folding table with four folding chairs for only $36! I couldn't find anybody in the immediate area, and it was the last one (not like a ton of people were buzzing around it or anything, but I didn't want to leave it after I'd found it) so I hefted it off the shelf, deciding it was too heavy to carry all the way across the store, I started pushing it through the aisles towards the checkout lanes.
It wasn't until I had sighted the checkout lanes that someone spotted me and asked me for help. Doing his Wal*Martly duty, he asked if he could help me, I told him I'd be fine getting to the checkout counters, (since I'd made it this far already) but that I'd need some help once I'd paid for it. So he "guided" me the rest of the way by holding on to the top front end of the box, and his shoe kept hitting it, making the rest of the trip a little bumpy. Oh well. I guess it's the thought that counts, right?
Got it loaded into my car, went home, spent 5 minutes trying to get it OUT of my car, and another 5 minutes "rolling" the box along the parking lot and up three flights of stairs. Talk about some exercise. I was all shakey when I got done. Now it's all unpacked and unfolded lol and sitting around in my apartment, waiting to be used. The only bad thing is that the top of it is cushioned, so I'll have to put something down when I want to write or draw or something so I don't punch a hole through the paper!
I'd take a picture and post it, but it's pretty boring lol.

lol.. but what if I wanted to see the table that caused you so much trouble? :P That does sound like some very good exercise however ;) so at least ya got something out of it. Ya know, we don't even have any KMarts left here, well none that I know of. I liked that place. They had some low-priced fun stuff around Christmas.. hehe. I remember buying a Santa hat one time from KMart when I was like 15 lol.
Anyways, glad you got it set up and everything :) and yeah that's kinda crappy about the cushioned top.
