Heh. Yes, I will be the hostess with the mostest. . . paint and brushes and sandpaper!! Come on by, scrape some walls, assemble some furniture, and I’ll feed and entertain you! Woohoo! My back is feeling a bit better because I’m doing my PT exercises, so I’m rarin’ to go. We have two rooms [...]
With all the furniture out, and the floors down, hubby and I started talking color for the livingroom and diningroom. Unfortunately, since the water damage in that area wasn’t limited to the floor, we knew that it would mean serious prep work. There were plenty of places where the dampness had cracked the paint, and [...]
I threw my back out Monday, just in time for all the furniture moving. We managed by carefully planning what I would move or not move and enlisting the kids. The laminate is all down in the living/dining room, and the installer is working on the edges and joints. The bedroom comes next. It looks [...]
So, I drop Carolyn off at her computer class, pick up a few things at Lowe’s and Target, and head home. . .but as I’m turning into the driveway, I see this big bump. Then it moves. I get out of the van, and it’s a good-sized box turtle! Well! I picked him up and [...]
Hubby noticed last night after having ice cream with homemade chocolate syrup (yum!) that he was feeling a bit shaky. He checked some labels and found the high-fructose corn syrup. . .in the corn syrup! Man, this pisses me off. Why in the world would anyone need to add high-fructose corn syrup to corn syrup? [...]
We have a little wait until the shelving comes in for the studio/garage, so I started cleaning up, rearranging, throwing things out, etc., so that I could patch up the drywall and paint the next couple of walls. This was working out pretty well. We didn’t have to go out and buy anything except joint [...]
Besides painting. Vacuum. Sew. Apply Frontline to cats. Only four cats. Thinking about that still makes me sad. Write a check for band shoes. These shoes are cheap – maybe I’ll make the kids wear them all the time. I can’t think about much else, because I’m tired and headachey and it’s still raining, and [...]
There’s nothing to stop me from working on the studio except, well, lack of motivation. Once I actually start, it’ll be fine. It’s a nasty rainy day again, and that always messes with my sinuses, making me tired and headachey. Plus, even though I’m making progress, there’s still enough clutter and disarray (and since we’re [...]
So. . .I can’t do much more in the bedroom until the new floor comes in, and we decide what kind of fabrics and area rugs will work with the new paint and the new floor. However, our new enclosed garage needs to get started in order to begin its new life as an art [...]
Got this in from Netflix yesterday, watched it last night. There were many, many laugh out loud moments, and overall it was quite funny despite its shortcomings. I think a lot of it has to do with the charm of Luke Wilson as the star, but it also helped that we were prepared to enjoy [...]
