It's no secret I am frugal (cheap.) We are going to be shelling out a couple thou for a new retaining wall in the next few days. The old wall was cement cinder blocks and literally crumbling down. It looked trashy and unkempt. I don't like trashy. Except for magazines and gossip, but I digress.
I first groused about having to spend money on the wall- I mean, I should be contributing more to my 401k and investing more and I would certainly rather spend the money on a trip that on manual labor and stone. But, it had to be done. Really no choice.
Now the wall is up and it's gorgeous. When I pulled up to my house coming home from work today, I felt excited and proud of our home looks. I still would rather have my 1000s to spend another way, but I certainly can't complain about the new and improved, face-lifted Casa de Johan and family.
