i got this for the price of a subway sandwich.

yes. this is true. i bought this side table for $5. $5. yes. you read that right. $5. sometimes when you go to D.I? it is hit or miss. well a few weeks ago i saw this in the outdoor section. usually pieces that i see like this there are like at least $35. when i got a closer look at the price i immediately tried to put this whole thing in my shopping cart. except for i didn't push that one baby seat/purse holder up. and it wouldn't fit and people were staring and i started to sweat and was afraid i would drop it and then i would have to pay for it anyway. but then i remembered that it was only $5 so i didn't even care. i ended up getting it to fit and i walked around the rest of the store with it in my cart. a nice man even helped me put it in my car. i plan to sand it down and paint it black to match the rest of our furniture. what's that you say? not white? i know.. sean said the same thing. he was very happy i decided to go with black... i will show you the after pictures once i get around to actually completing this project...

i know. my phone photography skills are awesome. try not to be too jealous. ha. don't worry they will be getting even better because my sister maddie just gave me her old camera that is all professional and i think with the price it was orginally bought at it is pretty much required to take a decent picture. actually i just wish that would happen. i know it takes talent and skill to take pictures. so i will work on it. luckily i have maddie to help me! thanks for the camera maddie! once the battery gets charged and i figure out how to use it i will try to post some pictures. i think moses will be my muse. if anyone objects to that? you can leave this blog right now.

update. the battery is charged.. here are some pictures with the new camera. and as promised.. moe was my muse....

my feet look freaky in this picture. i was bending my toes. but also my feet are just freaky. and yes.. i still need lots of work.. but these are much better than the phone pictures. anyway.. off to zumba.. it's my first time. i'm a zumba virgin. wish me luck! it's 80's night though so it should be fun!
