How I spent my tax check

It was my very first tax check since being divorced…

I had this idea to re-do my living room… replace my 15 year old furniture with something new & pretty…

Add some color to the blah….

My sister & I went and purchased a very cool chair from Pier 1, got a lamp & end table on sale & a bunch of awesome throw pillows!

So much fun!  We shopped & shopped for couches, chair 1/2’s, ottomans, searched for just the right one for my house… found it… great price!

Then the basement flooded…

Now I have a deductible to meet.

I need a back up sump pump, I also need a new regular sump pump.

I have a brother-in-law who can do the work for me on those things.

Then the dryer broke.

I had been given a used washer a month or so ago, my washer had broken then.

So… I spent my tax check… all in one week… not to mention my savings account…

I am blessed to have the cash to pay for it all.  For that I am very, very thankful.

I just didn’t get to spend it quite like I was hoping to… oh well.

Life! Darn it!

Glad that you did have the money though. I want to see pictures of the fun stuff, and I don't mean the sump pumps. :)
