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...

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 ...

Stepping Up to the Plate

This is going to be one of those braggy, braggy post just thought I would warn you. Life has gotten to the point that it is completely out of control. I’m not really sure what we were thinking when we had four children in the span of six years. I also don’t know why I thought it was difficult when they were small because life now is, as I said, completely out of control. Everyone is at the age that they are involved or doing something. Our nights have become logistic nightmares. Pick up here, drop off here, go here, and stop here. It is craziness. Added to this insanity is the fact that we are currently a one-vehicle family. A couple of months ago as I was signing Al. up for basketball I was desperately trying to talk H. out of playing basketball. He has only wanted to play since he was four and every year he would remind me how many more years until he could play. Why, oh Why did I not say he had to be 16? Eventually, I gave in and signed him up knowing it was going to be tough to fit...
