Some random tidbits, because I feel like blogging but don’t really have anything to say… * We went to Lowe’s today and picked up some stuff. Man, we spend a lot of money there and Home Depot! My uncle is going to help out with a few projects on Saturday, which will be nice. We got the new light and ceiling fan installed in the den, and bought the baseboards tonight.
