Two men and a bed

Today was fun! We went to Home Depot to get some wood and nails and wood glue to make Summer's makeshift trundle bed. We also got a purple pot and some flowers! After we checked out that we really couldn't carry everything home, wood, pot, flowers,  nails, mirror...so we borrowed a cart! We are going to take it back but it was very useful! We got home and the cable guy came and did a MUCH better job and installing and explaining than the last guy.  We went to the bank, staples, and Wal Mart and came home. We walked all the way to campus to eat at the free BBQ which ended up being $5 and we didn't' have money.  So we walked all the way back, got our Arby's coupons, and went and ate curly fries!
 When we got back we decided to put together summers bed.  What we didn't realize is that we bought particle wood and really thick nails which means..cracks and lots of wood glue! After nailing things in for about 20 minutes while Breanne was gathering dirt for our pot, she comes over and says, "Guys....everyone above us is staring down at us..." We look up and there are four heads; two on the second floor and two on the third.  They are all looking down and laughing at us! They told us later that they were playing 'guess what they are hammering'.  We asked the guys on the third floor (Ian and Kenny) to come and help us. They came down and they smelled like beer but they were super nice! They came in and played wackee 6 with us and then left.  All in all, we have a bed stuck together with glue and probably stuck on the porch, as well as a really interesting night with our neighbors! They told us though that when the bed fell apart they would help us make a new one with good tools if we upgraded to the 99 cent wood instead of the 51 cent scrap wood that we bought. :)  We also ran into that same crazy car again at Wal Mart today!
