I am being a complete asshole and not finishing something that I should have knocked off in an afternoon. Instead, I'm tackling other "projects," "really important shit," "things that absolutely must happen now." 

What I've done in the past two days:

1. Purchased every white accessory at Target, IKEA, and KMart to relieve Ian's room of the maroon color that he picked for his wall.

Want a tip on a white rug? Dorm room rugs are cheap, cheap, cheap, right now. Go to KMart. $25 for a 5×7. 

2. Organized the shelves next to my desk. But now I've decided that I need to go back to IKEA to get better shelves and whimsical boxes. A coat of paint is very needed. 

3. Researched where to get a sofa reupholstered. We bought this Adirondack style sofa at an estate sale for $180. Nice, huh? 

Next up. Find a good iPad keyboard. Load the boy's bedroom with the white stuff. Forbid them from "decorating" themselves until I take a photo of the finished product. Clean up our bedroom which is filled with the stuff from the boys' room and resembles a crack den. Decide which wall decal I should buy from Etsy: Lego theme or Star Wars theme or Star Wars/Lego theme?
