Weekend
It's been a super-fun weekend so far. I've packed a lot in. Last night I had dinner at the Outback Steakhouse and saw Reign Over Me, the Adam Sandler movie. It was good, a little slow, very depressing, but good.

This morning I had workship team practice at the church, visited with the girls at church who were helping with the yard sale. Then my builder-guy stopped by to hear about all of the things I want to do to my house. I'm scared to hear the quote. Here are the things I asked for:
- New Windows
- New Doors
- Insulation in my walls
- New siding
- Enclose my back porch
- Move my basement door from my kitchen to my newly enclosed porch
- Tiled floor on the newly enclosed porch (preferably with slate)
- Woodburning fireplace on the newly enclosed back porch (not sure if I'll have chimney clearance)
- New gutters

So, how much do you think that'll run me. The first four items are my current priority, after that we'll see how much it'll cost. I may pass out when I get the estimate. But, you have to dream big, right???

So, after an experiment with tacos for dinner, I decided it would be the perfect night to go to Lancaster, right?!?! So, I called mom and dad to see if they wanted to go...45 minutes later we were on the road! They had never been to the Pottery Barn Outlet, and as usual they had great deals. I wanted a white bookcase for the craft room to replace the brown bookcase. I found another one of my cubby-hole bookshelves that serve to hold up my project table. Instead of being around $500, it was $144.97!!!! There's a minor crack in the lower part of one side, but it'll be against a wall. I was so thrilled. It barely fit in the back of my car. I learned how to remove my headrests. I was behaving myself until we got to Pfaltzgraff, but even then I was reasonable. I only bought 6 dishes and 1 glass. The glass was to replace one I'd broken a week or so ago. The 6 dishes were fun, spring colors from the Cupcake Cafe line of dishes. And, if you know me, you know I need more dishes like I need more ribbon! I don't have any spring-colored dishes that aren't china (I think). Dad had a fun time at Black and Decker and was a real trooper in the dish stores! It's a shame we didn't have a bigger vehicle because there were some great pieces of furniture on sale at the PBO. Oh well, there's always next time!!!
