Screw money... it's summer!!!

Yeah I said it... and I will say it again!  Screw money... it's summer! 

The summer mantra is on, and has been going strong for the past few months. After finally getting to see my guru, Dave Ramsey, my image of him shattered.  It was just so sad to see him over selling all of his "financial tools" to all of us poor people hanging on his every word.   Now to get him back...

Ha! I'll show him... no more drinking his kool-aid!  Right?!  Who's with me?!  No?  Alright then.

Kool-aid... the summer drink of champions and those committing revolutionary suicide.

If you are like everyone else in America that owns a house and lives somewhere that gets snow, you know you have 4 months to get your shit in order. Summer was once a time of fornication and getting lost in the haze... now it consists of 16 hour days on the weekend, sweating (and not in a good way), working in the yard or on the house. 

Since this spring/summer season began I have been un-friended by a surprising amount of people because they must think I died. It really hasn't been that long... they must have been waiting to pounce on that one.

However we have landscaped the front yard, and 1/5 of the backyard, put hardwood floors in 4 rooms and painted 3 rooms and a hallway.  What a great summer!  <we need a sarcasm face>

Yes, that will do!

Total bill so far?  Surprisingly we did 2 bedrooms and a hallway of laminate wood flooring for about $400. Hand scraped laminate hard wood in the family room for about $500.  Estimated landscaping $300. Paint $200... we had some issues with pink in the family room.

In light of the summer season, I guess I will just ignore the bill and worry about things when it gets cold again.. just like the hundreds of other people I see at Lowe's every weekend.

I think I did pretty well only using "Hard Wood" once in this blog. ;}
