I heard from Rob today! He's in Africa and getting settled. I'm sure he'll post when he gets some time.
Why is it that every time Rob deploys, I get furniture shipped that I have to assemble? Plus, what's up with all the screwdrivers in my house? It's like they all ran out and had a "tip change"...now I have like 50 flat tips and no Phillips. (Sidebar: who is this Phillips guy and why does he have his own screwdriver?) so far I have assembled one of those rolling kitchen carts us cheap people buy because we can't afford more actual counter space, and half of an entertainment center. That's right. Half. Laura and I worked on it for almost three hours this evening. You know the fun part about assembling furniture? It comes with a garuntee that you will screw part A into the WRONG SIDE of part B but not realize it, and you'll go on happily attaching parts C through Y....until you reach Z and it doesn't fit. Then you realize it's that (explative) part B that was backwards. And you knew something felt funny when you did it, but you did it anyway. And now you get to unscrew all the (explative) other parts and start over. And you do, because you're a good citizen- and when all the smoke has cleared and the tears have dried- you have a piece of furniture that looks SIMILAR to the one you bought...and there always seems to be that extra stick of wood left over. WHERE DOES THAT GO?!?!

Honey...it's me. There is a full set of phillips head screwdriver bits that go with our electric drill, they're in the little clear case that's in the box with the drill. And also, I love you!
I just wanna know why there aren't some photos of the master craftswomen at work on this entertainment center, hmmmm? I'm sure they would bring a tear to Rob's eye.
I take personal offense at the rolling kitchen cart/counter top comment! We got ours b/c of a lack of drawer space! ;-) Glad you're getting settled and learning the finer points of "construction!"
