A full day of...

PAINTING!

I finally finished Nicholas' room. It took me ALL day to prime and paint his room. I nearly ran out of paint, and I am too stubborn to go get a pint or quart or whatever that small size is. I probably will end up doing it because there are places that didn't get two coats and in the light of day I may decide that the whole room needs a new coat...but for now I'm happy it is DONE!

Want to see it? Of course you do...I wish I had a before picture of it so you could truly appreciate the work of art it is now compared to before! Half stripped of it's nasty blue iris wallpaper! It is a miracle Rob got all the wallpaper off! (That is his nightmare to tell.)

I am thinking of adding a border of some kind it just doesn't seem fantastic enough. If I could draw I'd do a burn-out track leaving his room...He is obsessed with fast cars that burnout.

I have a correction to make for yesterday's blog. Tonya and Gary celebrated their 43 anniversary, not their 42. Sorry 'bout that. I feel stupid.

These days.

The kiddos are camping with Nana and Papa. It has been a nice break. Hubby is working on stripping the wallpaper of of Roo's room. It has been a feat 4 years in the making! I sware I will NEVER wallpaper. Or buy a home if it's wallpapered. That will be in the purchase agreement! It must be removed and wall primed to be painted. Man, I hate the stuff!
Now that I've vented, we have had a wonderful day by ourselves. We worked a little, shopped a little and ate dinner at my favorite place. Buca De Beppo. Awe, I LOVE Buca. The bread, the spaghetti, the sangria, the canolli. Yummy! I'm glad I have left overs I'm getting hungry.
Summer is winding down here and it feels good. I am looking forward to the schedule again. I do better on it. The free- wheeling what should we do today drives me crazy. I like plans. For my last few hours of child-less-ness I plan to finish my book I've been reading for two weeks! Two weeks! It normally takes me 3-4 days. Oh well...Off I go.
