Busy Week

So my commitment to this blog has failed. What started out as a couple missed days has turned into a full week. Been so busy, actually, just going somewhere everyday and not coming home till late has left little time to do anything. But, never found anything interesting to take a pic of, except for Toretto, but that is another day.

One of the things that we have been doing is pricing. Windows and carpet. Trying to get these things done. We come to the conclusion that we are just going to have to start doing something a little at a time. Like buying a window or two a month, depending on a sale. One thing I want to do now is to carpet Emily's room. That is our next step. We had a local carpet shop owner out to measure the room, but he apparently didn't want our business. Right away he stated that it would be cheaper to do a partial carpet than to do a wall to wall carpet. I asked him if the edges were finished and he said no. He said it would be cheaper that way. Well you know what, I didn't want cheaper. I knew what I was expecting when I went to the local carpet shop, wanted to keep it local and have professional installation. Apparently, he didn't think I could afford that. He kept on stressing it was "cheaper." I am sure that my house isn't fancy, but what home that needs total renovation is? I really got the feeling that he judged me according to my house, and guess what, I got money to spend elsewhere.

I don't really have a picture to go according to this post, so here's a flower.
