Sometimes I pinch myself that I actually live here. 

My house sleeps up to 10 or 12 in a pinch and that is what it is.

In a pinch if you have sheets ruined you can always have an extra. 

I've called them in a pinch maybe 5-7 times over the years, and they are great.

If I have access to a bathroom, wine, and coffee in my bedroom, I can think of very few reasons to ever leave it.Except for chocolate.

I would opine though, that sacrificing some appreciation down the road is less painful than pulling cash out of your pocket today.Yeah, it's not the right approach, but in this case, the decision to defer the electrical upgrade is more about dealing with my failure to accurately estimate rehab costs than penny pinching.

It won't get them back to a completely finished look, but in a pinch it makes it look a little better.

The dog (chocolate lab) went into this cat kennel and wouldn't come out.

You can get chocolates or even M&Ms with you logo on them.

You can buy Swedish Fish at the cash register, or Swedish Meatballs in their restaurant, or Swedish cookies, Swedish baked goods,  Swedish Chocolate in their grocer section.
