Starting over.

(Diane, I had the same thought. I'm going to $1,000, too. I am stuck otherwise.)

I'd like to repaint my place. I used to paint for a living, once upon a time, so no need to hire anyone. I need six gallons of good paint, a paint tray, a roller handle, a roller, a handle entension, a good-quality slanted brush and a sponge sander.

Then, I am heading to my beloved Container Store for two sets of bamboo boxes to hold all of my fabric, so I can stack it and make it look neater on my shelf.

Then, $300 in supplies to make pretty spa-shelf radiator covers like this. I feel crafty today.

While at the hardward store, I will also devote about $40 to woodwork trim because my bathroom could use a little sprucing up and there is pretty trim everywhere in my place, but none in the bathroom for some reason.

$150 is going to replace the pair of prescription sunglasses I lost a few weeks ago.

Then, this cooler and the adapter below seem like a perfect booktourin' companion. Speaking of booktourin'... I want to spend the remaining $116 at Mac Cosmetics, so i can have doubles of everything and just my makeup bag packed instead of dumping everything between my makeup drawer and my overnight bag when I travel. It's such a little thing, but for some reason, I think this one thing would make my life a lot easier.
