{Craigslist Bookshelves: Part 1.5}
Okay so I have been super bad the past few days. I was off this weekend and did ZERO to the bookshelves. I had a somewhat uncooperative hubby who kept saying, "Just wait...I'll help on X day"{Insert Fri, Sat, Sun} and like I have mentioned a time or two I am a...WE'RE DOING IT NOW OR NOT AT ALL kind of girl....it really is genetic. So after the second "let's just do it tomorrow" I threw my now-married-no-longer-Reichgott-hands up {that long funny looking word is my maiden name}and said to myself...psh giirrrrrllll you don't need no man {in my Queen Latifa voice} And no lie...I lugged those shelves up two flights of stairs.
I almost died.
Seriously who knew "cheap" bookshelves would be so heavy. It all in all took me literally about an hour so that I wouldn't trip, fall, be crushed by the bookcases and most importantly mess up the amazing paint job I did on the stairwell.That took me an entire Sunday and Monday/Tuesday night to finish...

Remember that turtle refrence? Well imagine that again but lugging a 6 foot high by 3 foot wide book case up the stairwell. For the first one at least...the second one I tried the "Bear Hug Method"...very legitimate you see...the "BHM" {bear hug method} allowed me more control over that S.O.B :) {I'm pretty sure you know what that stands for!!!}
Needless to say that is ALL that I have done with thosestupid lovely bookcases. I leave on Sunday for one of my shows for work and J's family is coming...I know I should set a goal for when these will be done but life keeps getting in the way! {And by life I mean I spent all weekend in bed because I was prepping myself for next week's show} Don't judge kay?
