Chris decided he would just get the biggest one just because “Why not?” and that way if we decided to demo the bathroom too that week, we’d have more than enough room.. There’s no way a family of 3.5 could fill that thing in a week even if they demo’d 7 bathrooms right?.

So every year after my birthday if I’m disappointed, I get to go buy myself presents and not feel guilty.Only now there’s more.

Valentine’s boxing day.Halloween boxing day.Anniversary boxing day.. Our 6th anniversary was on Saturday, and although it wasn’t lame or disappointing at all, I did go buy myself a present today.

Just keeping up with traditions, you know?Well, that’s what I tell myself because it’s something I really really wanted but definitely don’t need.

It’s for my front hall renovation, of course!.

It’s a little crazy, I know, but something about it just spoke to me.We really need to do the roof first, and it would be silly to do anything else before.. I’ve been fake decorating every room, just trying to make it all OK for now, and it’s been driving me crazy.

I know in the back of my mind that it’s not working.And I know it’s a waste of my time..

The thing is, there are plenty of “real” projects I could be working on.Ones that aren’t just a temporary solution..
