One

For the past year, I have always had at least one unread email in my inbox. The same message and attachment. Haunting me like yesterday's jam. I left it unread so I would remember to post it. One. Year. Today is the day I finally post the story of they ikea loft bed project.

When I moved to Los Angeles, I bought a loft bed on craigslist. I put it together (with the help of my family) in the small shared room. Luckily my new roommate wasn't there because the bed was too high, the ceiling too low, and the walls too close together to fit my new loft bed and my roomates loft bed in the same room. So the next day I bought a new, smaller, normal bed and took apart the loft bed.

For a year the loft bed remained in pieces in a corner of the room, while I tried to sell it on craigslist. I then got a new roommate. Lo and behold! She didn't have a bed! Well, good thing I had TWO. So with the help of a friend I chopped the legs down from the loft. Now I could fit on top, and there was room under for the other bed. Bunk bed magic!

So that is the story. It has taken me a year to finally write this down and post this image. Here it is. The one.

POWER TOOLS! Yay!

Sadly, there is no way a year of waiting could make this picture cooler or more interesting. But at least I can have a clean inbox.
