Kill the Anxiety Week – Project 1

23, January 2012 by · 1 Comment

So, there I was.

All ready to start my week of projects in order to beat my rising anxiety level and wouldn’t you know that I end up frustrated!

My first project of the week involved this product from IKEA.

I was being lazy and didn’t want to drive the 50 miles to IKEA, so I was trying to find something similar locally. Sadly, that didn’t happen so I went online to the IKEA website and checked to see if these where in stock at the store closest to me.

Guess what?

They aren’t. Or at least that’s what the website says.

I even checked every other store across the U.S. and it says they aren’t in stock anywhere.

What is a wanna be DIY’er to do???

Well, I’m headed up to IKEA tomorrow anyway. I’m hoping that they really do have them in stock and perhaps their website just doesn’t reflect it. I plan on buying 8 of these bad boys so I REALLY need them to be there, or at least something equivalent.

So, keep your fingers crossed ladies and gents. I have my paint and brushes ready for these things!!

Considering about 31% of the US population have some type of cancer, the chances of knowing someone afflicted by the disease is pretty high. However, we never think it’s going to hit close to home until it actually does. Last year my father-in-law was diagnosed with lung cancer. Even knowing the percentages, it left us [...]

I may even be known for sporting a Perry the [...]

This past year was full of goals. Some I accomplished and some have left me wanting. For instance, I set out to run my first 5k last year. Not only did I do that, but I succeeded in running 10 5k’s in 10 months! In the process I also lost 30 pounds and won 2nd [...]

I am always trying to find way to make my money stretch a little farther these days. When we go out to eat, we always try to pick a day when the kids get to eat free; and yes I’m one of those people that sneaks their own treats in to the movie theater. So [...]
