Free pastry, broth bowl, and drink at Panera Bread!

In a matter of 5 minutes, I earned a free pastry; $5 off their new broth bowls; and a free coffee, hot tea, or soda at Panera Bread! Here's how:

If you haven't already done so, sign up for their free Panera Bread Rewards Program by clicking here. (Click the "Not a Member? Join Now" link under the orange/brown Sign In button or there is another link at the very top of the page.) A free pastry reward should automatically show up in your account!

Next, click here while still logged in and watch the first three videos at the top. A $5 off a broth bowl coupon should show up after you've completed this.

Finally, watch the bottom three videos on that same web page to get a reward for a free coffee, hot tea, or soda.

To be honest, I didn't really watch the videos. I just played them through while working on other stuff. Good enough, right?

Thanks, Panera!

How to lay tile

We decided to lay tile rather than carpet in the basement bar room. Probably a smart move. I envision my husband hanging out down there a lot drinking Jack and Cokes, throwing potato chip crumbs, while lounging in his sweats. Okay, he's not that big of a slob, but I'm sure some Jack and Cokes will get knocked over. And this way company won't have to worry about spilling in this room.

Painting the bedroom + adding character to brick walls

Yesterday's post was about how to texture ceilings on your own. Once the ceiling was dry in the basement bedroom, we moved onto painting. I forgot to get before pictures. Fail.

Here are the pics after one coat of Glidden primer:

I'm standing in the living room looking into the bedroom.
