Entry for August 21, 2007

 

Temp 90 HI 96 (better than yesterday's 92 and HI of 102)

No stitching update today. I decided to tackle a couple of things. I dug one hole for the clothes line posts and started the second yesterday. So my back and knees are paying for it today. I decided instead of taking on the second hole, I would go after the butt ugly bathroom paint. This is what it looked like when we moved in:

A really really bad attempt to sponge paint. I see why, it hides a multitude of sins on the wall finish, but to sponge white on to a warm chocolate brown wall just looks horrible. No intermediary colors were used, just the brown base and the white. I would have used a few more colors in that brown family. Here is a close up....

Even with the remnants of the kids' art, I don't like it. So I had a gallon of this really pale blue sitting around that was originally going to be Mariska's room. I decided to use it here. Even if I don't keep it that way for a long time, it certainly looks better than the sponging.

I am going to go out and dig some more tomorrow. I have general housework to do an my bedroom to tidy. And feed the heathens. I am thinking sandwiches are in order. Maybe I can talk Greg into picking up chips. Or some frozen fries and some baby carrots with ranch dressing....

Later all

BTW, Conga rats to Andrea!!!!!!!!! Proud of you
