Little Bit of Nothing
I've seen worse...

Monday, January 12, 2004


For some reason, my mental health is directly proportional to my interest in home repair. Anybody else like that? Anyway, while I was pregnant I was a borderline basketcase. Since having Luke, my desire to work on things around the house has been growing steadily. I know my chemicals are pretty much in balance now because I went to Lowe's (my favorite store) this morning and I wanted to buy everything whether I could use it or not. I just want to have a project going all the time. Right now I'm working on replacing all of the old outlets and light switches. Of course, I didn't buy enough of the light switches and I bought too many of the outlets so I'll be making a return trip. But I think anybody who has worked on a project at home has to make a few unplanned trips back to Lowe's. Am I right?! Next I will be touching up the trim paint and replacing all of the rusted hinges with new ones. The hinges I wanted were almost $9 a door. That's crazy. I went with the cheap ones for under $2 a door. They hold the same weight, they just have a different finish. Anything's better than rust and paint smears. After that I plan to repaint the whole bathroom, but that has many more details and a few more trips to Lowe's, not that I mind. I could live there quite happily for some time.
