This past weekend was all about staying inside and avoiding the heat—it was brutal! Thankfully, Todd and I had some home improvement projects that kept us safely indoors. Todd’s been shopping around for bunk beds for his kids for a while, and my eagle eye spotted a flyer on a bus stop shelter the other day for a free set. An old couple doing some much needed (and I mean much needed—you should have seen the amount of crap in this potentially gorgeous but totally time-warped apartment) spring cleaning was getting rid of them. Todd and I were something like fourth and fifth in line for the bunk beds (we both called) but fate was on our side and persons one, two, and three flaked out, giving us the chance to snag them. We got really lucky—not only were the beds free, they were also made of real maple wood; no pressboard Ikea crap for us!
Once we got them back to Todd’s apartment, the rest of the weekend was about painting his living room, reorganizing furniture, and assembling the beds. They were actually incredibly easy to assemble and disassemble, and good thing, too. Without any instructions there was a certain element of trial and error to getting them just right.
The heat wave continues, and I have every intention of finding more to do in inside.

Yikes - sorry it is so hot there! It seems to be one extreme or the other this year. But - bunk beds - yay! I always wanted bunk beds as a kid.
Yeah, the heat is the pits. On Friday I was getting ready for work with the radio on. All I kept hearing was about this major heat wave that was coming, so I dressed for summer. I went outside and it was freezing! Friday was jacket weather and Saturday was so hot I could have passed out. Things are definitely weird here.
