Sliding Down the Slippery Slope
I was going to plant geraniums in my window boxes. Then I realized the coconut liners were ragged and needed to be replaced. I ordered new ones. Now while I’m waiting for the liners, I’m looking at the faded shutters and thinking “They could sure use a new coat of paint.” But then the front of the house would REALLY look shabby because it needs to be repainted too. Where does it end?
We call it “mission creep.”
You start out painting the half-bath and end up painting the front hallway, sitting room, and all the way up the stairs before you’re done. Oh, and the carpet needs to be replaced too. Might as well buy new drapes while we’re at it…
Forward this to a friend!

hahaha… I can’t say I do that. I look at something, get discouraged, and get back on my laptop. Yes… it is sad.
