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

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Fantasy Land

The writer of this blog is currently in fantasy land. Meaning there will be no post as she is to busy pretending that she is on the sunny, care free, warm beaches of Hawaii. Apparently she is also under the delusion she looks smoking hot in a bikini and can currently (in the world of fantasy) be found on the beaches of Oahu sporting a bikini top and a grass skirt. Further evidence of how deeply she has entered fantasy land includes some very cute natives making sure her umbrella drinks are full and sunblock applied. The only thing she would like to mention to those of you still dealing with the real world and the endless hours of kids and summer vacation. "The water here is perfect and the sunsets are to die for please feel free to join me."

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...
