Flying Chairs and DIY

Feb. 21 Week 30

Sunday we spent the day doing miscellaneous projects and errands. Most of the morning was spent spray painting household items white for the nursery; a floor lamp, table lamp, shelf, curtain rods. They all came out good and we have them in the nursery now. The cutest would be the floor lamp's shade which I recovered with matching fabric as the table lamp.

After all that was finished we also made a trip to Wally World to get a cute white cubbie shelf and pick up the glider from Babies R Us. About 50 feet onto the high way the chair, inside its huge cardboard box, flew out of the bed of truck when something went screwy with the tie down. Somehow it managed to not hit anyone's car, no one plowed into it and it didn't break. We had to creep in reverse back down to where it was laying in the fast lane, stop traffic on the highway and drag it over to the shoulder. Thankfully, a good Samaritan pulled over to help Mark load it back into the truck because my preggo self couldn't lift it. We got it home without any more flight risks.
