Busy Day
No posting yesterday as Husband was home and we needed to get busy.
::wink wink nudge nudge::
Yeah baby - the taxes got done! That's HOT! We even went out to lunch after we discovered we needed to stop at the municiple building to get some misplaced property tax numbers.
We pay a lot in property tax. Ouch. Good thing our refund is decent.
Husband and I even had a chance to stop at KMart and browse through vacuums, towels, curtains and even the bedding. We've both got some ideas about what neeeds to be done and what colors or styles we'd like to use. We don't quite see eye to eye for the kitchen window but we agree on most everything else. I think it's time we need to check out Target and perhaps Bed, Bath and Beyond or Linens and Things. One good thing about KMart - we bumped into my friend Lauren (who's doing the letter writing campaign.) Do you knwo she's gotten over 450 responses? How fantastic!
::sidenote::
Do you know that a BB&B opened down here - not more than 7 miles from my house and I've NEVER been in there? Seriously.
I need some good recomendations from you guys - where do you purchase bedding/curtains/towels? What's a good deal? Or, is it better to invest slightly more money and get better quality?
I've got to run- must get Youngestto school and hit WalMart. I'm getting my teeth cleaned at 940am. Guess I'd better brush and floss before I hit the road.
Ciao!

I bought inexpensive when my daughter was young because she abused them greatly as she entered the teen years (make-up, nail polish). But now that she isn't around as much (and older) I've upgraded and love the more plush towels.

nudge nudge wink wink say no more!
Sounds weird, but I've had good luck with cheap curtains at Lowe's Hardware. Reasonably good quality for a decent price. Not a lot of variety if you have weird sized or large windows, though.
Most of my towels were wedding gifts, so they came from Target, and they are the medium to high quality ones. Lasted 7 years so far... I like medium priced to higher priced ones because they feel softer.
We also got a LOT of towels from Costco, as they have the big bath sheets (in funky colors) for about $10...
For linens, try HomeGoods (TJ Maxx home store) or TJ Maxx/Ross/Marshalls. Good quality linens at a lower price. Not all are seconds. Many are just out of style. Sometimes it's difficult to match, though. Depends on how anal you are :)
