Old Pink Desk

The other day I drove past an old pink desk with drawers on one side with handles like these:

 except they were wooden like the desk and blended in nicely. On the other side were shelves the width of the desk with rounded edges. The paint was peeling off and it was dirty. 

It kind of looked like this:

Kind of.

This desk was on someone's lawn with a bunch of other junk and a large phone number. 

It was so cute. I imagined taking the pink paint off and painting it another bold color. I loved it right when I drove by for some reason...

I got the number and called for a price.

$10

I talked to Tom about it. He said, (and I thought of you, Mom) "take a picture of it and I'll make it for you one day."

PSH.

We really don't have room for it anywhere. It's really heavy and it will take a lot of work to make it look good. And then what to do with it when we move? Sell it? Haul it with us across the country? What to do with it and where to put it now being dirty and pink?

I could have bought it yesterday.

Someone else wanted it and I could have bought it last night.

...

I didn't. :(

I at least wanted a picture of it.

I drove past that lawn this morning and there was no old pink desk.

I'm a little sad.

Who knows why I wanted that thing but I thought twice about it, hesitated and missed out.

Tom better make one for me now. ;)
