Home Improvement

We were supposed to go to Atlanta this weekend, but Mark's work and our exhaustion level prevented us from going. So, instead we decided to get a few projects done around the house. Between Staples and Home Depot, we've made a nice dent in our tax incentive check!

On Friday, I finally found the bookcases I want for our office, and they will be delivered on Wednesday! Saturday morning was our trip to Home Depot, where we bought three new toilet seats for the three bathrooms in our house. BUT, these weren't just ordinary toilet seats! These toilet seat lids go down by themselves! No more slamming seats in our household! :) We also bought some new vent covers for the bathrooms and weather-stripping for the front door.
The big thing is the new storage shelves and a unit with doors for our grass seed and pesticides for the garage. After we go see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull this morning, we'll work on the garage and get everything up off the floor for the first time in several years!!

Lastly, we went to Staples and bought a new flatscreen monitor, new memory for Kennedy's computer, and some office supplies. Mark set up the new monitor yesterday and gave his old flatscreen monitor to Kennedy, which frees up mega space on her desk for 5th grade homework (which starts July 7th), and frees up her old monitor for a desktop system he's building for Sam (Sam's laptop is on its last legs). I am in the process of organizing the office -- the new bookcases will help immensely and allow us to get our Hurricanes memorabilia out in the open where it belongs! Then I just have to organize my files and get my paperwork done for the business before the year gets away from me!

Have a great Sunday!!
