Let me explain. So, okay, we decided we were going to paint our front room some shade of light brown to add some contrast to the room. My goal was to start it this weekend and take my time. Well….not only did I finish the front room this weekend, but I also did the entire hallway as well! I still don’t feel like I rushed and I think I actually liked doing it! Anyway, it looks pretty good, much better than when we did the bedroom, but then again the paint in the bedroom is a much darker color and you can see all the imperfections very easily. I might go over the edges with this new tool I got this time. It worked so well….it says you don’t even need to tape the edges, but that’s only true if you get just the right amount of paint on the edger. If you get too much, it overflows the edges and you get uneven again. Anyway, the combination of that tool and a new painter’s tape dispenser by Scotch really made the difference this time. So I’m all done painting. Now Jason is going to install the track lighting and we’re going to look into getting some drapes for the front windows.

After my successful painting job, though, I came down with a nasty flu-like cold on Sunday night and I’ve been pretty miserable ever since. I stayed home Monday and Tuesday, and probably could’ve stayed home today, but really felt like I needed to make an appearance at work today. I’m so stuffed up, its hard to think and the coughing is driving me crazy. Oooo…I just found some cough drops. Strawberry. Mm…not bad.
