hoarding.

austin thinks i'm a hoarder. sometimes, i watch hoarding: buried alive on TLC and that's some crazy stuff. but i'm no hoarder. i only keep things that are useful, or could be useful, or someone might find useful someday...

like this chair.

that i got fo' free.

and it's a perfectly good chair. and the fact that i have little to no use for it at this time doesn't mean it won't come in handy someday. and i found it on the side of the road with a big "free" sign posted on it when juliet and i went on our walk the other day.

free? heck yes, please.

and although i wanted to, i couldn't haul it home while julie and i were walking. something about her lack of opposable thumbs renders juliet useless. so i was forced to wait until austin came home to retrieve my chair.

after grabbing a quick dinner at chili's with austin and sarah {who was in town for a wedding}, we drove down to the spot where the chair was anxiously awaiting my arrival.

but austin didn't stop! he just drove past the chair claiming we had no need for a lone chair and other illogical arguments. jerk!

but thanks to a 10 minute debate in the driveway settled finally by a carwide vote {myself, sarah and juliet: pro-chair. austin: anti-chair} we headed back up the street to pick up my new friend.

and, i mean, it's a good chair. and we might will need it someday.

and, as usual, when juliet hears the "ding" of the camera turn on, she comes running to be photographed. so let's pretend she just wanted you to see her compared to the chair, for size reference, of course.

but this in no way makes me a hoarder. see, if i was a hoarder, i would have taken the other items that were sitting on the side of the road for free, too. like the child sized bed frame or the big piece of plywood. but i didn't.

although it looked like quality plywood.
