My lovely boyfriend has all the patience in the world. Thank goodness he has all of it, because I don't have much. At least he has enough for both of us. He is also a very wise spender, which I am not always. Alan has had a bucket of spare change in his possession for about, um... 8 years! For the last 8 years he has taken the change out of his pocket at the end of the day and tossed it into this bucket. I am constantly sneaking quarters out of my piggy bank, because I have no patience to wait and cash it all in. This week, I took the overflowing bucket to the bank and cashed it in. Can you guess how much 8 years of spare change adds up to??? $684.65!! I could not believe it! So what to do with all that moolah? Funnel it into our house, of course!
This evening Alan and I went to Home Depot to price toilets and sinks for the bathroom. We also checked out a few ranges that we liked. We settled on two gas ranges that were around $1,300.00. Frankly not a bad price for a gas range and large oven. We decided that since the range was such a large purchase, we would wait until after we had the kitchen flooring in, and the oven would be our last purchase of the kitchen remodel. After settling on a toilet and picking a sink and pedestal, we decided to wander down the road to Lowe's to double check on pricing and see if there was anything better we might like. We didn't find any sinks, pedestals, or toilets that we liked, BUT we found an amazing range that was comparable to the ones that we had priced at Home Depot for about $600 less. Here's a link to what our new range looks like, its not the best link, but work with me here, huh? We bought it on the spot. I am a grown up now. It is ridiculous.
And did I mention I graduated from under-grad today? Cum Laude? No big deal or anything. Again, I am now an adult. Ha! Just an amazing day surrounded by those that never forget to mention how proud they are of me, and make me feel way too loved. I am one of the luckiest gals ever. Seriously.
And not that anyone ever checks up on this, but I am currently listening to (and fairly obsessed with): 40 Day Dream by Edward Sharp & The Magnetic Zeros.
