Sh*t my dad says is hilarious! I follow that guy on twitter.
That will be the next thing I do. This book is soooooooo funny. I can completely identify with way too much of it.

Good on you for motivating & making your home yours. And I'm totally with ya on the hanging of $hit by yourself. I bought a bunch of shelves & a level today for just that; in the past, H hung the shelves & what-not.
Thank you! I have enjoyed doing this and working on things. It also is nice to change the way things look at my house. I am moving beyond it looking like I'm living in my late mother's surroundings. The changes have also helped eliminate reminders of the way it looked before H left. I don't replay the terrible conversations as I look at something and think, "He was sitting there when he said ______, and I was looking here when he said _______." Not sure if that sounds crazy, but the constant reminders are killers.
So you're going to hang things, too, huh? I hope you're better at it than I! If you're not, then make sure you have a tub of spackle and some sandpaper on hand. I really may have my kind and helpful next-door neighbor/handyman hang the towel racks. I'm going for precision here, and I have accepted my hanging/drilling skill level (and the limitations of my skills).
