Change of garage door heart

I'll admit it, I got wrapped up into the thought of a squeaky clean new garage door. After some thinking and some people bringing me to my senses, I've decided it's not NECESSARY I get a whole new garage door. I'm such a sucker...

So, I've hired my handyman, Doug, to just replace the springs for now. In fact, he said my garage door is in good shape. Apparently Bill from Radio Control Garage just wanted some of my shoe money...

My next (maybe) project in my house: taking down the fluorescent light fixture in my kitchen and installing can lights. This is one of my very large pet peeves in the house - even more than my maroon office (that's another project). I really believe I would enjoy going in there more and cooking if the lighting was better. Although the current lighting is more energy efficient, aesthetics trump money and are more important to me, in this room anyway. I may even splurge and put can lighting in my dining room. Right now the lighting consists of a lovely ceiling fan with lights. I've gotten a bid from an electrician, so now all I have to do is bite the bullet.

Getting excited tax season is coming up...first-time buyer tax credit!!!
