If You Give Ryan Leave...

If you give Ryan leave,
Kim will want to do some work around the house.

Work around the house means a trip to Lowes.
If Lowes has a sale, then work can begin!

First it will start small with touching up paint.
When you touch up the paint, you will notice things need to be caulked.

Once you finish the caulk, then the baseboards will look dirty.
After you paint the baseboards white, the doors look dingy.

Now that you have clean white doors, the front and back doors look faded.
After you paint the front and back door the handles look grimy.

You decide to paint the cheap brass with a hammered nickel to match all the lights.
If you paint the door handles you will want to paint ALL the handles and hinges.

When you go in the kitchen to count the pulls, handles, and hinges you see the counter is slanted.
Bracing the counter is nice, but now you see that the counters could use some caulk.
When you go to the garage for caulk you will decide to straighten up the garage.

Once you straighten the garage you notice the pile of new flooring that needs to be laid.
To lay the floor you will have to pull up all the floor you already did two year ago. SIGH...the next few days will be busy!

When you are a home owner, you just can never get ahead! Being a home owner = a money pit!

I'm exhausted just reading all of that! I wish I had your ambition- Instead I just stare at all of it and think maybe someday....

I think I agree with Jen. But I have the ambition to dream of things to happen but I never get them to happen. Mine would be more like I want to paint the Master Bedroom this color and Bry agrees on it but then we never get around to it. or this needs to be done and nothing happens. Maybe we need a stern person to shove us into the projects instead of sitting on our buts.
