The Nest

We are a couple of super dorks

Last night Andrew and I had ourselves a little adventure.  It all started around 6pm when I went out with the girls from work and had a few margaritas.  Andrew  was my DD and on our way home, we spotted an old French door a couple blocks from our house, just sitting out waiting for garbage day.  Now I had seen the woman setting this door out Saturday for a yard sale while I was on my way to work, and had tried to get Andrew to get it for our sunroom, but he had no idea what I was talking about and did not investigate.  So I was super happy that it had not sold when I drove back home that night.

Fast forward to last night, being buzzed on tequila, I decided that we really needed to get this door, but we were going to make it a covert operation, complete with dark clothing and the "Mission Impossible" theme song running through my head.  We waited till about 11pm and snuck out of our house and went running down the hill, hiding behind bushes all the way.  Of course as we do this, a HUGE thunder storm is headed right towards us, which only added to our idiocy.  So we snuck down to the house and hid in the shadows and ran up to grab the door....moving the big sign that said "FREE" out of the way (we are such badasses, stealing free garbage!).  So it's a huge old door and that sucker is heavy, but we hauled it the quarter mile+ back to our house, trying to look all cool, as if carrying big old doors around at 11 pm in thunder storms is normal.  We practically ran back up the last block because the lightning was basically hitting the hills just behind us and the wind really picked up, and we got back just as it started to rain.  It soon developed into the biggest storm we've had this summer, but we got back just in the nick of time. 

So that was my trip back to adolescence with my husband, we had fun.  Nothing like garbage picking while buzzed out on margaritas
