The Deep Clean

We did two days of deep cleaning - and finishing today. Next weekend we are putting down new carpet - new to us but previously used but nicer looking then the one we currently have. Lulu refused to install new carpet in our apartment when we moved into this one 6 years ago. Her justification was because we were having a child and because hubby works here. However we are going to put peel and stick tile in the dining room area instead of carpet. I am glad about that. It will be easier to clean and if boo spills food into the carpet it will not clump up and be all disgusting.

So I have to finish the kitchen - cabinets, dishes etc. Also I have a glorious week a head of me of doing LAUNDRY - and we all know how much I love me some laundry (please note the sarcasm).

But one the carpet is down and we get a paint of coat up on the walls and some artwork from all posters.com it will feel more like a home.

Then when we have money one day in the far future then we can get a new couch and kitchen table and new and matching tool cases for hubby - since his tool cases are kept in our dining room. Yes I know ... but he has to get to his tools for work and we do not have a garage or proper closet space for the storage. So we make do with what space we have.

I Know what I said in a previous post about material things, I still mean it. I do not long for this that and another ... sure everybody wants something -but the need to have said so item should be based on is it a real need (like you will die or be serious put out without with item - food, clothing, medicine, housing, etc.) or do you have the extra money to afford the said so item with out causing harm to yourself and family (like if you decide to buy that new xbox game or tool or whatever will you be able to pay your rent, buy food, etc). So the couch and new kitchen table and tool cases can wait - because they are not needs, it would be nice to have nice new spiffy looking furniture items in the apartment - but at this time they are not needed.

Two years ago we did not have these items so it is not a big deal weather we have new or not ... because we simply did not have these items for the longest time. Maybe something will come up where someone in an apartment will leave a nice couch and chair set when they move out ... but hey there are other things that are more important than that.
