Cry till we laugh

When you buy a new house, the money spills out of your pockets for crap you never know you own.  I spent $240 at Lowes the other night for just such items including:

$9 for hooks to put my bathrobe on
$20 for a toilet repair kit
$7 for an aerator for the kitchen sink
$20 for something I can’t remember
$5 for a little wire shelf so we have more useful space in the cabinet or freezer
$13 for the cord that powers the dryer that we already spent $800 for
$3 for new water saving shower head.  (Probably sucks, but for under $3 we’ll try it.)
$35 for two wire shelves to store Amanda’s girl stuff.  (What is up with four different kinds of shower gel?)
$14 for two cups for the bathroom.  They are acrylic and won’t break when I knock them to the floor.
$14 for light bulbs for the new kitchen fixture.
$23 for a sliding tray so we can add a flatware organizer and PRETEND we have a drawer in the kitchen.
$63 for a new light fixture in the kitchen.
$11 for TAX, money that's already been Taxed by Uncle Sam and the Commonwealth.

All items you notice when you DON’T own them, but never notice when you do.
