Much done today!

Sanded down all the pieces that will soon be a printer table. Goofily enough, I think applying finish NOW rather than later will actually make the whole thing easier, so one coat of Wipe-On Poly for Hand-Rubbed Beauty is drying on there while I goof off on LJ.

Installed Microsoft Office (ugh) so I could have Word (ugh) so I could continue to work on my resume (double ugh) on my laptop (yay). Did not in fact edit even one character of my resume. I will do almost anything to delay actually working on my resume.

Wrote five sequences of C4 (square dance choreo) in an hour and a half. I think that's a personal record. Finally, finally I'm getting faster at writing interesting material.

Found someone on craigslist giving away a free coffee table, needing only sanding and refinishing. Gee, what a deal! Sent mail inquiring about measurements. It sure would be nice to replace that poor half-plastic Zombie Undead Coffee Table that's disintegrating in the middle of my living room. Free makes it even sweeter.

Free makes it even sweeter.

I got a great table this way. It is less contemporary but made with three different types of real wood, not plywood like the one I used for so long. A quick refinish in the garage and it became a lovely piece of furniture. We got another one at a flea market for like $5 that I redid "shaker" style, I think it's called.
Anyway, sounds fun.

Isn't it great? I could really get into refinishing stuff. Maybe if I got good at it, I could refinish furniture for other people, bartering that for other useful things (like borrowing their truck or getting a massage or something).

If only everything in life were so easy! (Trouble in your relationship? Here, take a lint-free cloth and rub this on. Wait 24 hours before putting any weight on it, and then you're all set.)
