The new attitude brought even more surprises my way yesterday ... the kitchen table David and I have both wanted since before we knew each other ... finally came ... see a year ago I found a website that sold retro tables that are brand new ... and we made a deal to redo their horrible website in exchange for a table ... we were beside ourselves with joy ... but somehow it just didn't happen ... they just stopped responding ... instead of just telling us they changed their mind ... so I started searching the web hard and learned they didn't make the table themselves like they claimed ... they bought them from a company in North Carolina ... well the company only sells to retailers and manufacturers ... not the general public ... but my dad works for a company that is a manufacturer ... so we ordered it through them ... for 1/3 of the price it is sold by retailers ... woohoo for that ... so here is the new dining room table ... :)
