It's been quite a while since I've posted...again. Things have been ridiculously busy, but that's good, right? We've done quite a few little house projects, like fix the garbage disposal (SO thankful for that...THANKS HUBBY!) and start cleaning the carpets. We've decided to attack the carpet one room at a time this time, so the whole house isn't wet at the same time. We've been arranging for some bigger projects too. I'll post more about those as they come up. Work has been busier, and I just haven't wanted to sit in front of a computer any longer when I get home. I've had meetings after work, so I'm getting home later some nights. Like I said, it's been crazy busy!
Anyway, I'll post about some of the hilights since I've posted last...
We went to our first brew party. This is the first time we've brewed with anybody else since we've started brewing ourselves. The guys we visited have been brewing for about 7 years I think, so it was really nice to watch them and see their setup. They keg their beers and they brew all grain, both things we would like to start doing in the near future. We got a great all grain idea from them that should save us quite a bit of money. They grow some of their own hops, which I think is awesome! I would love to do this some day when we have more space. We could possibly grow 1 or 2 varieties right now, but we don't have the space for more. The guy's house we brewed at has an awesome basement with a huge utility room he plans to turn into a bar. I think it will look great when it's all done! His friend lives just a couple houses over, so we went to check out his basement. His bar is AWESOME! I can't wait to have something like it some day.
The day after the brew party, I went clothes shopping. It was tax free weekend, so I decided to go search for some good deals. I didn't buy a lot, but I did get a great deal on a dress I'll be wearing to a bachelorette party next month (originally $60, I spent $11 - Score!), that was probably my best find.
Along those same lines, Harris Teeter had Super Double coupons, up to $2, last weekend. I got up really early Saturday morning to take advantage. I brought my $252 bill down to $126! I stocked up on laundry detergent, Ziplock bags, toothpaste, mouthwash, dish detergent and a couple other things. I stocked our freezer with meats and got some snack foods, tons of cheese and lunch meats, some fresh produce, yogurt and milk. If you can't tell, I get excited when I save us money.
We're finally motivated to paint our master bedroom! The problem...we can't agree on a color. I want to do grey so we can easily change linens and change the look of the room. Josh is tired of grey and he wants a color, but he doesn't know what color he wants. Our bedding is white and green and our bathroom is green, so I think going green would be a bit much. I'm really stuck. I want to find something we both like, but in this area, I think it might be a bit tough to do.
We're also ready to finish our half bath! I started painting it this past weekend, just to discover that I will definitely need to prime it first. I plan on priming early this weekend and hopefully painting later in the weekend. Then we'll just need to caulk, paint the trim and put the hardware back up. This "little" project has taken us forever, so it will be really nice to get it out of the way!
