stone cold spending

We're going to have a few things done before we move in. We're tearing out the 'dog' carpet and putting in wood floors, painting the interior, and renovating the (busted) bathroom. It feels a little strange to be spending so much money on top of the cost of the mortgage, but I'm looking at it as an exercise in the pure experience of expressing power and control through expenditures. Put another way, we may never have another opportunity like this. In fact, blowing all of our savings and inheritance on things like tumbled natural stone-like floor tiles pretty much guarantees it, but I know you're with me on this one: those are fucking phenomenal tiles.
