I talk about how in an effort to save $15 and because I already own two measuring tapes (even though they are at Bill's house), I have wasted most of my "house" time all week buying things that don't fit.  And then I'll have to return it all and, thus, waste more time.  I'm trying to forgive myself for not seeing the forest for the trees, but this week just hasn't been a good one for me and the house.
