The Inverse Law of Installation

A conversation I had today at the Giant:
Me: 'I always get motivated during the holidays, right when I am at my busiest."
Berry: 'That's when you can get your best ideas. You just gotta act, you know?"

True.

Especially with the house. We have undertaken many projects, both large and small these last weeks. It is from that experience that I propose the 'Inverse Law of Installation'. If, for example, you buy a modestly priced item, say a shelf from IKEA, it will take you almost 3 hours to install the item. However, if you buy two fancy curtain rods at Crate & Barrel, totaling $100, you will have them installed in less than 60 minutes.

Aside from curtain rods and shelves, the other tasks that have kept me from posting were:
Organizing the shed
Hanging up pictures
Shifting through and unpacking 6 boxes of junk
Clearing out and arranging the basement furniture

Good point. We haven't yet. We have this pink....thing, a buddah kitten I think, that goes in the SE corner of the house. That should be my priority when I get home tonight

Happy Thanksgiving, buddy! :) I am thankful that you are happy with your life and that you own a house you can blog about. :)
