I'm a Man, Baby, Yeah.

Over the last few weeks I have been frequenting a certain store. I feel like Frank the Tank when he said he had a big Saturday planned. I have yet to disclose this information to the blogosphere: As of July 14, 2006, my fiancee and I will be home owners (pictures coming soon). We are buying a house in South Philly - it is completely rehabbed, nothing, other than moving boxes and furniture in, needs to be done to the house. We are going to paint the back wall of the kitchen orange, and our bedroom some kind of blue, but that is it.
So, to keep down on cost of furniture and other things until we get married we are accepting hand-me-downs. Or we are searching trash cans for rehabible items.
This is why I feel like FTT.
For the past few weeks we have been going to Home Depot buying supplies and what not; stains, paint, sandpaper, gloves, . . .it goes on forever.
At this moment, not this exact moment, but a moment similar to this moment, we are fixing up a second-hand kitchen table, with chairs. Nothing is wrong with the table or chairs, but they are a light color wood. We want dark wood. Oh, the jokes! DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT?
After inhaling mounds of wood dust, and vibrating for long periods of time the kitchen set is sanded.
Before this particular period in my life I never sanded before. I knew what it consisted of, but I never had a reason or a deep need to sand. Sanding is eh, it really does nothing for me. But, I've seen the future and there is more sanding.
Ok, this post is going nowhere. I will stop it.
