OMG a slide


Ever since Greg built Rex's swing set 2 months ago, I have been nearly constantly checking KSL for a slide just to miss slide after slide after slide. And then, a few nights ago, just as I was getting ready to call it a night, I decided to check KSL one more time and OMG a slide had just been put up an hour before. It was 11 pm so I text the lady, then I emailed her, and then I waited for the reply.

And waited.

And waited.

Ok, I didn't really wait that long, she text back just a few minutes later. The slide was mine! But she wanted me to come get it the next morning at 6:45 am in Sugar House.

Small sacrifice.

I could've kissed her.

And she only charged me $15. Little did she know what slides are going for on KSL--over $50 for most of them, some as much as $400. I ended up paying $18.50 because I only had a $20 and she only had $1.50 in change.

Small sacrifice.

And now I have a slide, and it is soooo long.

Too bad my hips are too big to fit down it, but Rex's aren't so it will just have to do.
