My Dad just finished painting his bedroom, so now instead of the cave-like brown that was originally there it’s a mutt coloured (he used the dregs of about 3 different paint colours) off white. It looks so much better now. Because he’s in the basement he needs it to be as light as possible and now it finally is. His painting just gets me thinking about all the things I still want to do around here (money permitting of course). Besides painting baby D’s room and our master bedroom, I’d really like to change up some of the light fixtures. I really like that the previous owner had all the same fixtures in each bedroom so that there looks like there’s continuity across the rooms. As much as I really want to stay away from changing these ceiling lighting fixtures, I think I may have to put in ceiling fans. The house is very open and it’s hard to get air to circulate properly. I’ll have to see what happens, but I have to find 1 model to use across all 3 rooms for sure. Then there’s the bathroom light fixtures. The original ones I’ve got are those hideous fake gold horizontal vanity strips across the top of the mirror. Once again they are all the same across the 3 bathrooms, but I’d really like to get something from even the 1990s! If and when I actually get around to changing these up I’ll be sure to post a pic.

My next stop will be Wal-Mart where I’ll be looking at the plant situation to see what they have and if the price is right. When my Mum comes down tomorrow, I want to have a game plan of where we’re going to be getting my plants. The other thing that has been driving me nuts is the number of dandelions in my lawn! Before my Dad went to Germany, we were out weeding but you’d never know it to look at the lawn now. So instead of the old yank method, I’m going to see about getting a proper weeder.

Finally, the joy that is grocery shopping is my final stop. I need to get regular stuff for our consumption as well as stuff for dinner tomorrow night. I was hoping we’d just do hamburgers on the barbeque which is simple, but apparently we don’t have enough propane. I’ll have to see in my travels what it’s going to cost me for another tank. Let hubby get ours refilled himself. I always find certain trips difficult with baby D, but it has to get done so I manage. I just won’t be lugging a propane tank around anywhere with him. Or pick up the earth that I need from the landscaping place. Those are sans-baby jobs.
