My THOUSAND Dollar experiment....Day 24

Day 24! Hmmmph... isn't today the premier of 24, or a marathon or something? Ahhhh, just the universe telling me that I am on the right track again. God is good! After all, He made the universe. I will honor Him today with a donation to my church's building fund. Our pastor was talking about his very generous relative who would sell her million dollar home in order to fund our building renovation. I wouldn't want her to do that, so that is where my $2400 would go today.

The rest of the money would be spent on my office. Heh, heh, heh! The transformation would be a big one. I would first have to hire an organizational person, (if not team) to get my office into shape. I know just the person. Just met her at a business card exchange in Morristown. She updates me with her e-mails, so she will be easy to grab. I would paint the whole room, get a real desk, new flooring, new furniture, get rid of a LOT of stuff, get a new computer, and top of the line items to be able to record from my desk, both audio and video. I would have Elizabeth come in again to organize my closet, get new windows in my office, but add a bay to it with a window seat. It is so sunny in my office in the morning and it would be so nice to be able to sit there. I will get those windows with the blinds already built in so that no child could get to it. I would get new doors, one fot the entry and one for the bathroom in my office. I might have some left over money though. I am not sure it would cost quite $21,600, since I am a thrifty shopper. I would join that place, direct buy so that I could save on my purchases, so I am guessing there would be some money left over. I would take that money and get a massage, pay a babysitter, and take my hubby out for a movie and dinner since today is our anniversary. Yep. 18 years, baby. I would also buy him a nice electrician to install the speakers he bought with his Christmas money. :)
All the Best,
Alicia
