Home Depot

This past weekend Home Depot was offering a don’t pay for a year deal when you spend more than $450…haha so I took FULL advantage of that buying…well…lets just say I had no problem clearing the $450 mark . The list is huge and I’m probably leaving something out but:

* Stainless steel microwave
* Stainless steel range hood
* Seven light fixtures
* Light bulbs
* Twelve gallons of paint
* Paint brushes
* Painter’s tape
* Granite vanity (Oopps, I mean MAN CUPBOARD) counter top
* Bathroom fixtures
* Toilet tank, bowl and seat
* New handles for my kitchen cupboards (eighteen of these)
* Heating register covers (seven of these)
* Wooden blinds for six of my windows
* And whatever else I’m forgetting…

So that was my shopping spree on Sunday afternoon.

With respect to my weekend, Friday night I worked on the house and then watched When Harry Met Sally with Jillian. Saturday I worked some more and held the FIRST poker game ever at my place (won $25) and went downtown (ridiculous down there, left and was home by 1am). Sunday was the shopping spree, family dinner then went for a walk with Jillian and watched Big Fish (great movie).

All-in-all it was a great weekend.

Cheers!

“At first I thought, if I were Superman, a perfect secret identity would be “Clark Kent, Dentist,” because you could save money on tooth X-rays. But then I thought, if a patient said, “How’s my back tooth?” and you just looked at it with your X-ray vision and said, “Oh it’s okay,” then the patient would probably say, “Aren’t you going to take an X-ray, stupid?” and you’d say, “Aw fuck you, get outta here,” and then he probably wouldn’t even pay his bill.”

Weekend

Well I had a very nice weekend.

Friday night I finished the second coat of urethane on the floors upstairs and then relaxed by playing some poker before I hit the sack.

Saturday morning I went and plunged even furthur into debt by ordering new stainless steel Whirlpool appliances for my kithen (fridge, stove and dishwasher). Went by MC Decor and paid for the last of the tile I ordered from them. Then it was off to the mall with my sister to find a birthday gift for mom. I got home just in time to pay my tile installer for all his hard work and then I went and saw his finished work (the washroom upstairs looks amazing). After that it was time to apply the final coat of urethane to the floors upstairs. After kicking my ass I laid down for a quick nap then it was off to the movies with Jillian to see the Covenant. I didn’t think this was going to be an Oscar worthy flick by any means, but it wasn’t that bad! The acting wasn’t that great and the special effects were okay…all-in-all it was laughable and Jillian and I did pretty much that…laughed while watching it, so that was a good time.

Sunday was a relaxing day. Watched some football, played with the dogs (Russell and Max – Russell is my sister’s toy poodle…she bought him a couple weeks back and him and Max are hilarious together). I also met with a friend of mine who is in the furniture business and I got some information I needed in order to plunge EVEN FURTHUR into debt yet again tonight on my way home from work! I’m not 100% sure I’m getting what I talked to him about, but if I do…OH BABY…anyhow, not going to get too excited yet as there are two BIG obstacles surrounding this purchase:

1) Size, “it” is a tad big but I might be able to make it work.

2) Money, “it” is slightly more then I was looking to spend…then again, that’s never stopped me before so really its all about the size issue I suppose.

Sunday night we had a nice family dinner (BBQ Steaks are the best done on a charcoal BBQ…we came to that conclusion) with some nice wine and ice cream cake.

Well, there you have it. My weekend in a nutshell…well not really a nutshell, more like a large paper bag…but what would a blog from me be if it wasn’t long winded and extremely malformed?!

Cheers!

P.S. New Bond trailer is available here and I think it shows that this WILL kick ass! I’ve never been a huge Bond fan, but I have a feeling this is going to be a good one!

Great Weekend!

Great weekend!  Spent Friday night buying tile for the downstairs landing and a few other things for the house.  Saturday morning was sanding at 7am while I waited for the carpenter and window guys to show up.

The carpenter was awesome and got all my doors hung downstairs and trimmed up so-to-speak.  The window guys installed my basement windows and they are AMAZING…get this, they actually close and open with ease and close ALL THE WAY for that matter…crazy I know!

My drop ceiling guy brought the materials he needs to get started but decided to come Monday (tonight) to do the work because there were already too many bodies in the basement (3).

On Sunday Craig and my brother helped do some sanding and overall cleaning of the house and I was really impressed with how much was accomplished this weekend overall.

Saturday and Sunday night my “free time” was spent watching Clerks 2 and Miami Vice…both were OK but not spectacular.

Cheers!
