Happy Trashy Tuesday!  Hope you are having a junque filled day.

I must confess something……I got into a fight.  A really, REALLY TOUGH fight.  It happened last week.  I was on my way home from Zumba.  Feeling REALLY AMPED up.  I decided to take a cruise behind the Target/Old Navy Shopping Center.  I don’t usually find much there worth noticing.

This particular day, I did notice something BIG.  And I wanted to get in on the action.  I slammed on my brakes.  Looked around to make sure there was no one watching.  Jumped out of my car and what I thought would be an easy score of a GIANT SOLID WOOD dresser turned out to be the fight of the year.   In my fools folly, I thought I would just “plunk” the thing out of the dumpster, grab any drawers and be on my merry way.

It wouldn’ t budge.  Not even an inch.  Kind of like when I wanted in on this Dumpster in Truckee, Tahoe.

I realized I was going to have to do the deed.  GO INTO the dumpster.  Luckily, I was a sweaty mess already.  What was one more stinky thing on me.  Besides, it is not like this was my first time hopping in to grab something I wanted.

With all my might, mind and strength, I wedged one end of it up and over the edge of the Dumpster.  Then I was able to, with very careful maneuvering, lower the thing to the ground.  While I was in there, I noticed almost all of the drawers were there too!  OH HAPPY DAY FOR MOI!!!

The last drawer had gone AWOL.  I had to let it go.  I could have dug a little, but I was getting nervous someone was going to drive by and see me in the dumpster.  Then there would be too many questions to answer.  I loaded the goods into my car and sped home.

I may have been a tad tired after my major fight, but it was worth the effort, the smell and the strain.  Because at the end of it all.  I WON!

PS Be sure to come back tomorrow!  I am featuring some of the “Where are they now?” Stars of my Dumpster Finds!!  Here is a sneak peek:
