A license to shop

Sometimes it seems like half the fun is getting to actually spend money and buy things for a change. Sunday went out and bought all new appliances for the house. Before that, a bathroom vanity, sink, mirror and medicine cabinet. Today it was paint in great quantity. The best thing, though, was an ingenious little roller with a surface that looks like a tangle of rubber bands. I'm going to use it tonight to try to replicate the pebbly texture of the 1950s plaster walls, in the places where we've patched up cracks and holes.
