Going to Paint That Blue Right out of My Room

I know that your just dying for an update on the office paint.

Right?

Hello, any one there?

Okay, let me rephrase, "I'm just dying to tell you about my office paint."

Better?

Even though the possibilities that you have more important things to worry about, is high, umm very high.

On to the update:

Yesterday morning, after eating my Wheaties, I got to work on the cutting in work and here it is!!

Drum Roll Please.........



First of all let me state the following, "IT IS NOT WHITE!!" See the door is White, the color around the door, "NOT WHITE!"


It is called "Cinnamon Cake," Not "WHITE"

My good for nothing children keep saying, "Mom, why are you painting the walls white?"

GRRRR!!!

Anyway, I thought I would share my most favorite part of painting, the part that makes me giggle in glee, the part that makes me want to paint over and over.

The very first stroke with the roller, the stroke that says here is the color you chose. Ya better love me because I am non-returnable paint. By the way I do love it.

Here is a pic of the completed, first color of paint.


Aint it purdy? Well except for, the whole it isn't finished, so how do I really expect you to answer that question?

Here is a pic of the paint drying. This is about the time, that I started thinking, that maybe paint fumes might be interfering with clear thinking. But if you have nothing better to do just click on the picture and stare. It is relaxing I promise.

Today we add the second color, we had to wait for the paint to dry because we will be using tape. Do you think you know what color I'm going to paint? Hummm! A mystery.

I know you don't care but these are big moments in my life so indulge me. :)

YEAH for the paint update. Honestly, I checked your blog last night hoping to peek at your progress. I was slightly annoyed that at 12:40 (am, pacific time) there was no new post.

Truly, the above did happen... my husband will testify that I am nutters at times. =)

I like the Cinnamon Cake. I can't wait to see the final product. Hey, we need to paint pretty much everything here... wanna help?

Okay so I think you already told me what you were going to do, so I am guessing you are going to paint a strip around the room maybe dark brown with a small green stipe above it and below it, or maybe a green strip in the center of your big brown one or maybe you are going to reverse everything I just said. I guess I will just have to wait and see. HMMMMMM I can't wait. HEE HEE

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Pinewood Derby or Bust!

If there is one thing that Brent and I both agree on.  One thing that we both believe is essential to the proper development, growth, and raising of a son. That no boyhood would be complete with out.  It would be participation in the Pinewood Derby.   Yes, on this one thing Brent and I are in total agreement.  A boyhood is not a true boyhood until a boy has built a pinewood derby car and then competed in a pinewood derby.  It is that important!  I'm sorry if you have never had the opportunity to live in a house filled with the air of pinewood derby. If you have never had the opportunity of watching a father stand to the side as his son uses HIS power tools. The opportunity to take a chunk of wood and see that inside the wood is the makings of a CAR.   You wonder why men are so obsessed with cars, with how there made, and how fast they go.  Well if you have ever brought home a pinewood derby box kit to a home with boys and men all your questions would be answered. Once the car is b...

S. is now 11 years old and is counting down the days until she turns 12. She is in the fifth grade and says math is her favorite subject. She stays pretty busy with swimming and soccer. This past year in addition to a regular AYSO team she has been competing on an All Star Team. She has really enjoyed it and is really looking forward to a tournament that will take place in Hawaii this July. She still loves swimming and is still competing when she can. A. is 9 years old and is the professor of the house.  He is our silent man whose brain is in constant motion.  He reads and reads and reads and soon will read me out of house and home.  He enjoys video and computer games, and he loves playing sports.  In January he made the city swim team and continues to play soccer, basketball, and anything that I let him.  Al will soon be eight.  As in next week soon.  The best part of school she says is 3:25 when pressed for a better answer than that she say...
