This is a difficult challenge. David and I are both on day one again. (Maybe David should say still...) If I could stay away from the computer I might make it to a week.
:: Pretending
The rest of this week and next week (and then probably the next 2 weeks after that) are going to be intense. But I am pretending it isn't happening. I'm imagining that I am in a month of weekends. Mature right? Like when you know you need to lose weight but eat half a box of Sour Dots? Or need to replace the office chair you husband broke and the only one you like is 200 dollars? Not speaking from experience...
:: Tub Tub Tubs
I guess I am a goal maker. If I didn't have enough on my plate, I decided we really, really had to get the office closet organized. "We" spent last night getting some filing done, and sorting art supplies- I have a tub just for crayons, jealous?
I actually made the statement "Don't ever let me buy stationary again." (I was working so hard I was delusional.) Like a good husband David replied "As if you would listen." He's right.
:: To paint? To Stain?
We've been on the hunt. I need something to store my table linens and china. I've been stalking Salvation Army for a good deal. I missed a couple I shouldn't have and morn the loss of TWO art deco china cabinets. Lesson-- when you see something buy it! So we did this time.
My "China Dresser"

Analee,
I LUV the beautiful dresser you bought. I bet it is oak, that's what it looks like from here. I know what you mean about missing deals. I still remember a couch and chair 20 years ago that I fell in love with on the spot. Of course, the fact that it was 100 years old (approximately) and needed massive re-upholstering and repair didn't deter me, like it did Herb. Oh well.
Also, what a great goal-- the "no complaining" goal. Even when you slip, it is still a reminder and helps your mindset to change I think. Memaw got a new jacket and two new sets of pants ( thanks to the Thrift store in Friendswood) they look really great on her!
Luv,
Tia Kay
Love the beautiful dresser--lively wood!
I'm such a gloomy griper that I'd never, ever get off day 1.
Thanks for the advice! I have dealt with those mouth things forever and have tried all kinds of home remedies to no avail. Love that dresser!
