moving right along

I am so sore after my canning experience. I enjoyed it, but the last 3 days have been hard on my feet. It hurts to walk if I have not been on my feet for a while. Every time I stand up, I have to give my poor feet a moment to protest before they will take me anywhere. Dan rubbed my feet for me last night and it was a painful pleasure. It felt good but hurt at the same time. Mental note to Denise, buy a stool for the kitchen that reaches the counter. then you can do things and still sit.

I have been making plans on house stuff and am really hoping to get it moving along. I got Dan to call and get an appointment for a chimney cleaner to come and clean our wood stove. It's recommended to have the stove and chimney  cleaned every two years. We've gone 3. This is because about this time of the year we are usually broke and can't even scrounge up $50.00 let alone the $150.00 to pay for it. But this year we have money budgeted. YAY!  So we have an appointment this coming Friday. Cross that off the list.

I have texted Charlotte to find out if Josh would be willing to paint the spare room. I want it done by end of September. If he doesn't do it, then I will have spend my anniversary painting.  I need to find a couch for the family room too. I HATE the one we have. HATE IT! I cannot stress to you how much I  LOATHE the couch. It came from the Special K's, and I just can't stand the damn thing.  I will be shopping on KSL. I also am buying new night stands. OK they are used but new to me. Shannon is selling stuff so she can live with her soon to be hubby, and has two matching ones. She's selling them to me for $20.00 each. This so works for me, and let's me help out a friend.

I contacted a fencing place for an estimate on getting a new fence. I hope they can do it for very inexpensive price as I have a limited budget and I want to save some for a trip to Disney world.

I also need to find shelves for the garage and spend a little money on totes that will fit the shelves. Plus we need a new garage door. The one we have SUCKS, and it's baby blue. I want a white one. lol.

Hopefully before the end of this week we will have the new furnace and air conditioning unit installed. Can't wait for that.

Any suggestions anyone has for People who do Fences, or Pave driveways, or build decks, please send me their info. I've gotz plans to get moving along.....
