I spent a good part of a day recently measuring my closets for wire shelving. I've always liked the look of wire shelving, but haven't put it in this house yet, even after 12 years.
So I measured the closets, went to Home Depot and Lowe's to compare the shelving they both had, came home and looked on-line for prices and products, and calculated the cost of the amount of shelving I wanted. I figured out that seven of the 12' shelves would be the most cost-effective way to get all the shelving I needed.
I was all prepared to buy the shelving, although I had no idea how I was going to get it home.
Later that night, I walked into the main closet, looked around and realized that I didn't really *need* more or different shelving. And I decided to forgo it.
The next day I read a blog by The Bloggess, The Traveling Red Dress where she talks about allowing yourself to have the things that make you happy, whether or not they are practical.
And I realized that there is something I have really wanted and keep postponing because it isn't necessary. Still I want it. But it isn't the wire shelving.
I have a desktop computer, but the dogs get fidgety if I am on it for very long. And some days I really just want to sit out on the patio, enjoy the birds singing and let the dogs lay in the grass.
My 'red dress' is a laptop computer and because of The Bloggess, as soon as I find the one I want, I am getting it.
