So this morning we were inspired. We watched Holmes on Homes and they visited Habitat for Humanities Restore store... So of course we googled and found that we actually had one near the cities... NEW ACTION PLAN for the day!!!
Can I just say that it is a great resource! If you are trying to be green and reuse, or just looking for a great deal on products donated straight from the retailers this is a place to definitely check out. They might not have exactly what you need or want but if you go with an open mind and a can do attitude - or in our case - an over abundance in confidence, this is a place to visit! We really should not have any confidence that we can do anything but demo...let's just be real.
So then after visiting and being inspired - we almost stopped at a tile store.... but then I had the fabulous idea of Babies r' Us...
WARNING: This store can suck out any positive vibes from your husband in a matter of minutes. I swear that Bryan was ready to leave the moment Emily decided she wanted out of the cart. Sigh.
But here is the deal, we totally scored on a car seat - Booo Ya. Here are my tips - become a member (it is free) you get special coupons on top of the ones they mail you. AND YOU CAN DOUBLE UP....and if you shop in the clearance section for last year's models, the savings add up. I am going to brag here.... A car seat that once retailed for $249.99 made its way in to my trunk for $100... so yeah I feel like I am the smartest person in the world.
(I am leaving out the part where Bryan made me go back into the store b/c the coupons weren't applied correctly - when I came back to the car and told him what they told me- he told me they were wrong and tried to get me to go back in and explain it to them... mind you it was 6 degrees out... and if any of you know - I don't do this shit. I don't call the pizza guy, I don't like to return things and if I don't know who is calling I don't answer. So I was not happy and gave him the puppy dog eyes. He gave me the angry eyes and then walked- more like stormed into the store to get our discount. When he finally walked back to the car he said he was sorry.)

So baaaaack to being inspired and back home. Me and Emily were upstairs watching Nemo or something of that nature... and all of a sudden I hear a large THUMP followed by a little cracking down in the basement. My husband had found my sledgehammer. YEEEEEESSSS!
Once upon a time I started to demo the basement without Byran's knowledge. I started to pull back paneling and pretty much destroyed anything I could. He was not happy to say the least. But lets not dwell on my wrong doings....
Bryan knocked down 2 more walls - pulled more paneling from the main room and pulled up the carpet. He was a machine!!! I supervised and sang "Don't Worry be Happy." I am pretty sure he appreciated my company and my humor...esp when I giggled when the sledgehammer missed its target and hit noting but air... he loves me I am sure he does, but I am 100% sure this was all a ploy to get him out of dishes...
Bryan -1 Megan -1
Today was a draw .....
