    I laughed so hard, I cried. Then I read it out loud to my husband, and I managed to make it intelligible through my tearful laughter. Why was I laughing so hard? Because my husband is the California version of Paul! God bless them both.

    Ok first things first….I totally love the story of the “Kingdom” mirror. I was giggling the whole time. This of course made my husband come check out what was going on and then the following comment…If you ever do that to me we are going to have a problem….which of course made me giggle more because I would totally do it and have before. I have yet to be lucky enough to find a “kingdom” mirror but other things have made it in to my home that make my husband’s head look like it may explode.

    Good for you and your mirror troll! It is beautiful! My poor husband may have had some sort of fit when I said, “I need one of those.” But, it would totally be worth it to be able to say that I found one and needed him to go pick it up!

    Thanks for the wonderful story!

    I absolutely agree that you need this mirror! I love that it matches the one in the front entry! I love your decorating sense. I love that your husband puts up with you. He has to, he chose you. Even if he ACTS like this is an incovenience. He LOVES it, because he LOVES you! I saw this linked on FB & had to check it out. I am NOT a craig’s list shopper. My hubby is. But we don’t seem to find amazing things (then again we are in a small town (pop. 10,000) in Idaho). Will keep trying. Thanks for your storytelling. You are fun! I will be going to find you on FB now!

    Speechless. And you’ve explained exactly why it’s right to answer Cragislist ads when the muse calls.

    Well, thanks for the laugh! I used to have a Caravan and could fit just about anything in it without having to go through my husband..I think it would be cool to have ceilings high enough to be able to fit that mirror in my house. But alas I only have 7 or 8 foot ceilings.. Enjoy it!

    ER-Meh-Gerd!!! My dumpster diving friend forwarded this to me…..I’m almost speechless because I just realized how many of us are out here! How many times have I heard, “that won’t fit” or “there’s no way to move that”. Do they not know the meaning of “mission” or “accomplished”?!?! People that don’t understand just move along. There’s nothing to see here. Just be jealous when you see these wonderful things we’ve scored. How did you not drop to your knees when he uncovered that mirror? And the price….what can I say. Epic…you killed and then you wrote about it in the most hilarious way!!!!

    Brava!

    OMG’SH I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time! My husband and I sound just like you!!! Everytime I mention craigslist I notice his eye start to twitch…lol. My greatest score to date was a glass dining table, chairs & matching bar stools in perfect condition for FREE!!! I remember when I went to look at them the husband showed me the set. He said his wife had bought them without his consent and he HATED it. He was like are you sure you want this & I was like YESSSSSS!!! I had been looking for exactly that look and for FREEE…SCOREEE!! I have to brag a little bit more b/c when I got home my husband couldn’t believe I had gotten it all for FREE! Pretty sure he was a bit impressed…

    First, very cool mirror. Second, Oh My Lands!! this is the first time I’ve read your blog and Thank you SO MUCH for the laugh! I haven’t laughed that hard in ages. My 8yo daughter wanted to read what was so funny but I think she would have to be married to truly see how funny your story was. Thanks.

    Love the mirror story! I too have a Paul–my isn’t as patient as yours–he kills me once a month.
    But hey! I’m still here and I think he loves me.
