Who Needs A Truck?

I need a trunk in which to store my pillows.

I can't be bothered to make my bed every single day, after all.

And having my pillows on the floor makes me feel/look like a hoarder. So, rather than take 30 seconds to fully make my bed, I have been searching for a cedar chest so I can just hide my mess (not hoarding behavior).

They are not cheap.

So, I re-directed my search from retail stores to KSL classifieds because homeownership is super expensive. Who knew?

So, the very first time I looked, found the perfect one! Too bad it was $300. A little too spendy for my budget. I found one much cheaper a couple of days ago and I'm so excited about it.

The only problem is that I didn't know how to get it to my house. I measured my car and was confident that I could make it fit. So I drove up to Lindon to pick it up.

When I pulled into the driveway in my Beetle, the guy came out of his house and laughed at me. The nerve!

After a little shuffling, some sweat and (maybe) a couple of strong words, it worked!

I had to drive home squished up against the door, but I had to make it work since the guy laughed at me.

I forgot to take a pic when it was still in my car, so you'll just have to believe me.

Pay no attention to my dirty garage.

It's really nice, huh?

I just need it to be black to match my bedroom decor, so I am in the process of painting it - with spray paint.

It's so fun!

I feel a little bad that I'm covering up the nice cedar, but it's more important to me that it match, so I'm okay with it. I haven't taken pictures of every step of the process (sanding, primer, 1oo coats of paint) but I'll get the finished product posted soon. That's if I don't die of spray paint inhalation. It's strong stuff!

In other news, last night I dreamed I was dating Steve Carrell.

Not sure how he sneaked his way into my psyche, but I was sure excited to be dating him.

I hope his wife doesn't mind.
