Random Thoughts #1

I have officially made it one week without social media! Honestly it hasn't been as difficult as I thought it would be. Brian and I have discussed plans for renovating the house. We have decided with starting in February adding to the budget for painting and laying new linoleum in the bathroom. (Todd will be pleased that we are "Daving" for the project). This should be interesting since we have never done any type of project like this together. I have picked out the color for the bathroom and he agreed. Like he really had a choice ;). We have discussed the progression of the updating of the interior of the house. Considering I have been living here for 7 years, it is about time I finish what I started.
I have also read one book this week. It was alright and I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone so I won't bore you with the details.
Slow start but a start none the less.
Oh and I have blogged a little bit. I am sure many of you were wishing for more!


Well, I'm sure some of you are curious as to what "Daving" for the project means. So I will try to explain. We, and by we I mean Brian, have been through the Financial Peace program. I merely listened to the CD's in the car on the way to and from work. Brian knew he had a captive audience. So I have coined the term "Daving" instead of "saving". Clever I thought. Anyway, that's what we do. "Daving" also means I have to sacrifice some of my regular spending money to Michaels. And we all know how much I love Michaels. So my scrapbook spending will be put on hold. Which will now lead to a new obsession of attempting to find cool and colorful ways to decorate my home. I have grown weary of the drab walls without inspiration and decoration. There are only a few pictures splattered here and there throughout the living room and bedroom. I will somehow have to figure out how to post pictures to the blog of the befores and afters of the upgrades. I have tried but it seems to take forever for the pic to load.
These are all very random thoughts but I felt the need to post something.


Be Inspired....to be creative!
