Today I took my Playstation 3 to a store uptown to get it checked out. A few weeks ago it froze while I was playing a game and never came back. I reformatted the drive and even went and got a new drive and tried installing it. Nothing worked. After explaining my situation and all the things I’ve done to it the guys at the store told me the one thing I didn’t want to hear. My PS3 is a brick. 
So after some consolation from K in the form of a great big burger from South St. Burger (which was awesome) when we got home I decided to help myself feel better by working on my motorcycle doing some home improvement.
Last weekend K went to the states and visited Ikea. First of all. Ikea in the states is WAY cheaper. She saved some serious coin and got somethings that we wouldn’t have bought otherwise.
So tonight we hung some curtain rods in the bedroom and hung the curtains on them (after K hemmed and ironed them). I also put up a mirror between the two and hung some His and Hers signs on our dressers!
I like it all. Not only that but the temporary paper blinds got moved from the bedroom to the living room which I love cause now all of our windows are covered. That makes me feel safer.
Home improvement is something that I really like. Whether it’s just decorating or building a work bench or putting up wainscoting. There’s a real feeling of self accomplishment, satisfaction and even self improvement when you do something to make where you live more useable and pretty. Not to mention more valuable.
