So while Don was gone for work I was sitting and watching too much TV...and also hanging out and working out some, but too much sitting. I have wanted a stationary bike or treadmill or some sort of workout equipment in our house on and off for years. I think that it would be far easier to work out at home rather than go to a gym and I think I could spend part of those sitting hours TV getting in some additional activity. So it was about time for my semi-annual review of Craigslist for exercise equipment. However I didn't find anything that I actually wanted and/or was actually willing to shell out the money for.
So the next day I was taking Lexy for a walk and we passed by the new Goodwill store that had just opened and I saw a man with a stationary bike in the back of his truck. I asked it he was donating the bike. Of course in my head I immediately was thinking, "Duh, it's in the back of my truck as he's unloading stuff at Goodwill" and "What are you going to do snipe their donation?" Well he and his wife were actually looking to donate the bike, but Goodwill doesn't take exercise equipment so they were probably going to have to take it to the dump. So I asked if they wanted to donate it to me and they did! So Lexy and I jumped in the back of their truck and we drove the 4 blocks to our house. The man was so nice and brought the bike into the house and wouldn't even accept any payment for the bike or transport!
I posted about this story on facebook so DH could see and his first question was "where is it going to go". My favorite response was from our friend who said, "Looks like the dining room!" Ha Ha...although it really does live in that little nook area between the living and dining rooms. :)
