Extravagant Renovations

The Author of this post is Solomon Dejesus

My husband and I just renovated our home, and nearly went broke doing it. One might think that I’m the spender in the family, but my husband is the one who went really crazy. I know that we are planning on staying in this home for a long time, and it’s important to be comfortable, but some of the things he wanted were outrageous. We installed a huge home theater with 12 individual recliners, and a projector and screen. He also just had to have a fancy TVin every room in the house, which I thought was absolutely ridiculous. I had a hard time fighting him on things though since I was spending a little outrageously on my dream kitchen. When all was said and done we went $20,000 over budget, and I was afraid we wouldn’t even be able to afford to install the security system we talked about when we started the project. Thankfully when I searched adt price we found a package that suited us and that we could afford. There is no way we could have this amazing house without an alarm system!

cookies

I have made a ridiculous number of cookies in just the past couple of weeks. With the holidays, there have been plenty of sweets around my house. It's a good thing though! I love baking, so I'm glad to have an excuse for it. Plus I love "sharing the love", so to speak, so it's a lot of fun to visit friends with a cookie delivery!

drug abuse

I read yet another article today about how prescription pill abuse is at an all time high... necessitating rehab places that can offer rapid detox for opiates, among other things. Kinda crazy... sad. But not totally a surprise, I guess... I mean, drug abuse has existed almost as long as people have existed, so it's not a surprise that addicts are finding new ways to feed their addictions.
