Best moment of the week:   Not exactly the best moment, but I'll go with the most memorable.  On Thursday I got called into an office at work and was told my position was eliminated.  I had just hit my 4 year anniversary of working there.  However, they did have another position for me in a different hospital.  I consider myself lucky since 42 positions were cut and only 4 were able to be reassigned to other positions.

Baby B's Craiglist dresser....

...is almost done.  I need to touch up some areas still, but it's in the house and 99% of the way there (minus the clothing).  It was WAY more work that I had orginally thought.  The dresser itself needed about 4-5 coats of paint.  It seemed to take forever to dry between coats as well.

 

Here is the "before" picture

And here is the "after" picture

Overall, this project cost me about $85 in the price of the dresser, paint and 4 drawer knobs
