We finally got our taxes done on Saturday. We usually have it done by the beginning of March so we were really slacking this year.
We’ve been busy doing and planning things we’ve been talking about since we moved into our house four and a half years ago. Last week we bought a storage building and it was delivered and set up on Friday. Last night we bought a riding lawnmower. Ever since we moved into the house, my father-in-law has been driving back and forth with his lawnmower every week during the warmer months to cut our grass. He lives half an hour away, so it’s not exactly convenient. But finally, we have our own!
While we were shopping for lawnmowers last night, we also stopped and looked at closet systems. You know, things like this. The racks that the husband’s clothes hang on are coming out of the wall and some pieces have broken. I know, he needs to get rid of some clothes. (And he complains about me having so many shoes that I don’t wear very often. He has LOTS of shirts and pants that he never wears. At least I do get rid of the things I don’t wear–to make room for new stuff, of course.) Anyway, the damage is done and what we currently have in our closet is not going to stay up much longer. We want something more durable and that can handle the weight of his clothes.
The Husband also wants to dig up all the shrubs we planted when we first moved in and plant something else along the front of the house. He’s decided he doesn’t like those plants and has all these ideas for what he wants to do instead. I told him just make sure to plant me a little bunch of daffodils in a corner of the yard somewhere. I’ve always loved daffodils and we had some that grew along the front of the house where I grew up.
And we have a long list of other things we’d like to do in addition to the above. Owning a house and being a grown up is expensive.
