Wowsies

It's been a busy week or so. We've ALMOST finished painting the house. All we've got left to do is the bathrooms. I got most (all but one) of the ceiling fans and light fixtures that we've got put up. I got a new toilet (because that's something that everyone inevitably wants to know) because the one that was there was TINY. And I'm NOT. hehe.

Anyway, that was fun. We're moving THIS SATURDAY, so I don't anticipate that it'll get any less busy in the meantime. I'm really looking forward to moving though. We've been spending so much time there anyway that it's really starting to feel like home. :) I can't wait to be living there.

That's it, I'll try to write more later. At work now. Kinda a busy morning. I've been good n' productive. hee.

OH, and I got a 30GB Video iPod for my birthday, so I'm happy. :)

Teehee

Still not too much to report in the way of painting -- the living room made it further along today, Donna came by and edged everything off nicely. Laura and I went up in there and Laura edged the ceilings in the master bedroom and closet and re-did the master closet to even it out a bit. I took down all the blinds, because I spoke with the painter, and she's going to be doing the trim and such tomorrow. So, that should help. We got up the trash, threw out the blinds, dismantled the old ceiling fans, etc.

The most exciting part of my evening was installing the new ceiling fan in the master bedroom. Never knew I had it in me. Directions are (usually) for pansies... except when working with electricity, I guess.

I'm Beat

We went by the house and did a lot of painting today. it was great, we mixed the colors for the laundry room, and used that in the laundry room and the master closet -- it's sort of a taupe color.. sort of a dark caramel? maybe?

Anyway, it turned out really well and covered up all the scuff marks and stuff that generally get left behind in a laundry room. It makes it look pretty dark in there, so now I think we're going to have to get a new light fixture, but that's ok.

Anyway, I know I said I was going to take pictures, but I didn't. Donna (the painter) didn't come on Friday, so there wasn't much more done that's worth taking a picture of yet (with the exception of being able to see some of the colors.)

I'm going to wait until she gets more color up on the walls and then get some shots to post for everyone.

Speaking of pics! Yahoo Pics is going away, so I had to transfer all my stuff over to flickr. I'm going to have to re-link all my links. hehe. That's cool though. I hope all my pics transferred like they should have. I guess we'll see.

Back to work tomorrow. Joy of joys.
