I need a maid

A few months ago I got really sick of standing out in the cold to smoke, so I designated the once a garage, now den to be the smoke room. I’d really like to invest in air cleaners, though so that maybe the air in the den will be just as clean as it is in the rest of the house.

I really need to give my house a good cleaning, but I HATE to do the “scrub and dust” type cleaning. I don’t mind putting things away or doing the dishes, even the laundry is managable for me – but I never feel like dusting or scrubbing the bathtub. Sounds pretty frightening, I’m sure you think there’s mold crawling up my bathroom walls. Rest assured, there isn’t – not yet anyways.  :P

Home movies

If you have a media room or a home theater you may want to invest in home theater carpet. Star Gate Cinema has tons of neat stuff to put in your home theater, something I will most likely never have. I don’t really need one though because I don’t even like to watch movies all that much. I do but it is rare that I can make it all the way through one, unless it’s Sling Blade or Requiem For A Dream, but hell even Requiem is sometimes hard for me to get through. What a great great movie though. The last movie I attempted to watch TWICE was Donnie Darko, yet we didn’t make it all the way through either time. Shame on us.

Soup Kitchen

At this point in time I don’t have much desire to remodel my kitchen but directbuy offer some very nice services that can have your kitchen looking like you’re an orange country housewife! My kitchen doesn’t really have a whole lot of space for anything fancy, but I don’t even cook so if my kitchen were huge it would be taking away from the rest of the house. Last night I managed to make some potato soup from a recipe I found online. I didn’t even have all of the right ingredients but I substituted here and there and I’d say it turned out fairly well, Shawn loved it. Next I think I will try the O’Charley’s potato soup recipe that I found online. Dude that stuff is THE BOMB.

tool time

I really need to come up with a good place for my tool storage. I don’t have a garage – it got converted into a den, which is better than a garage in my opinion. I think I need a shed, or something small. I don’t have heaps of tools or anything, but I like for all of my belongings to have a place. And not just any place – one that makes sense!

I would really like to invest in some landscape lighting. I have a fairly large yard (3/4′s of an acre) that has yet to have anything done to it, and I think lights would do just the trick. There’s so much that I’d love to do to my house because for the most part, the inside is done. I need to get more art and decorations, and maybe straighten up a bit but there are only 2 rooms in the house that still need paint. One of those rooms is a very small bathroom and the other is full of extraneous furniture that couldn’t fit elsewhere. I’m working on getting the furniture out…. woohoo!
