A Trip To Home Depot
We have gone our separate ways lately but I used to live at that store! When we were at our old house I was constantly in and out of it, buying plants or paint or lumber for projects. When Persistence was tiny she was playing house one day, threw her purse over her shoulder and announced to all her dollies, "I'll be back. I'm going shopping at Home Depot." Yep, I taught her everything she knows. No hair salons or shopping malls for the women in this family!
She spent a few hours shopping the great isles with me today and it was not fun but she didn't complain. I told her that when I finish Victor's closet I would start working on hers and she believed me. Kids are so gullible!
No, just kidding. I really will, I promise. You'll make sure I do right? I may have to have my own organizing challenge where you all challenge me to organize her closet and then you send me prizes when I'm finished. Sound fun???
So, don't tell Stranger that I came home with a couple hundred dollars worth of supplies. You think you're going to go spend a couple bucks on lumber and you leave with a $200 receipt in your purse. It's weird because I thought this stuff grew on trees.
I plan to make a big dent in this project on Monday so I will keep you updated on the DIY.

Thanks for commenting on my blog.
Hey, did you know that the word 'gullible' has been taken out of the Oxford English Dictionary?
I still like to take a walk throught Home Depot every once in a while, even when I don't need anything. Honestly, I love the smell of lumber...and paint now that I think about it. I think it's the whole idea of newness. Anyway, I look forward to your update!!
Happy Easter!!
I am excited to see how you tackle both closets :) !! Your idea of throwing an organizational bash where we send you gifts for completing your project reminds me sounds fun ... that is if I can do the same thing, too!
My little girl doesn't go pretend shopping at the mall either. Instead she writes lists and keeps things organized :)!!
reminds = not sure where that came from in my comment. I think I was talking to my husband and typing at the same time!
How funny. Gotta love the home improvement. I'm like that about Wal-Mart...I intend to just get one thing ($2 or less) and always, ALWAYS end up spending either $88, or $180 (the "8s" have it for some reason).
Definitely post pictures of your closet make over.
I could almost live at the Home Depot. I walk in there and get a million ideas of what I could do. Love it! Glad to hear you're teaching your daughter!
You'll have to take pictures of the closets before, during, and after. I can't wait to see what you're going to do. Good luck!
