It has been a busy week and today will be the same. Today is our church's annual meeting at 3 pm. We should not be busy on the Lord's Day but I think He might excuse us as we go about doing His business. We had a great service this morning and now with an hour or so to relax, we are home but soon to be heading back to the church. Hubby has a practise for the Easter Musical at 1:30 to 2:45. I am on the computer for sign-up for Members for the vote for today's meeting and have to be there at 2 pm so might as well go with hubby at 1 pm (as he ALWAYS goes early for everything).
We have 6 candidates for the Board but only 3 openings. All 6 are great so it is a win/win for us. I am glad there is not just 4 as it could be deflating for one person even if they were qualified. I am hoping there will be a good turnout by members and incumbents (people who are not members yet).
Yesterday I went shopping for an outfit for myself and my birthday coming up. I am not a shopper so get frustrated easy. What was I thinking when I went out on a Sat afternoon. It was a zoo. Some days you are in the mood and others not so much. Well, it was a 'not so much' afternoon. In one store I heard a customer say to the salesclerk 'I'm not sure why I am here as I am not in the mood to shop'. I so totally agreed. Why were we there when we had no interest in any of the clothes. We simply moved them from one side of the rack to the other as we absentmindedly went through them. To myself, I said I was looking for something and would know it when I saw it but I don't think I knew what I was talking about! I did end up buying a colorful tank top with beautiful purple red black and white with a picture of a girl with a glass in her hand. Looks like a champagne glass now that I am at home really looking at it. I wonder if I will have trouble wearing it or can I convince myself that it is a glass of orange juice instead. We'll see.
There are a lot of things I could buy instead of another top. I really want a new back door - the kind that is all glass with venetian blinds inbetween the glass. It would add to our kitchen I think. What is that $1,000 plus? That would mean I would need a new screen door too as the door has to be white and the screen door is a faded brown and needs to be upated too. Our inside front door is a white door (new) but we did not update the outside screen door yet which needs to be white not faded brown. I would also like to finish off the living room floor in hardwood and then buy an area rug for it. I need to somehow finish the front entrance floor but I don't want to do that in hardwood - too much dirt - maybe a nice wide tile? Perhaps I could do the bathroom floor in the same tile and get a deal of some sort. The bathroom needs to be updated - well the tub as it is still harvest gold. The sink and toilet are new in white. Maybe we can do that surround vinyl over the tub? $$$ comes to mind!
Well, I guess to start, I can vacuum what I have and see where that goes! Since we seem to be always going out, doesn't seem sensible to spend too much money in a time of recession for updating only. I need to talk myself into spending it as an investment in our future. Yes, that sounds good. Investment in the future (sale)!
Well, off to my meeting. Let the fun begin.
