So. Painting is indeed taking longer than I thought. It always does.

The green wall is finished. It is a lovely pale shade of celery. I held up one of the drapes next to it last night and felt very accomplished.

BlazingEwe and I just finished putting the first of (maybe) three coats of red on the remaining walls this afternoon.

More tests required more doctors visits this week. More in the future. These have slowed down the progress on the walls. And have made me crabby. Crabby enough that LightBoy passed me a note last night. It said, “Go fabric shopping tomorrow.”

Instead I called my friend and asked for help painting.

Tomorrow LightBoy has early hockey practice. LightGirl has an early game. The first game of the season. The same goes for Sunday. More painting in the afternoons and hopefully we will have finished up by the end of the weekend. I’ll post a photo of the progress tomorrow. It really is pretty. I’m just tired. And, have I mentioned? Crabby.

There also seems to be a dead carcass stinking up our backyard. This also makes me crabby. I do not like smelly backyards. I do not like smelly dead carcasses. It is one of the reasons I live in the suburbs. Really. It is. I endured enough of those as a youngster on the farm. Yuck. Eweth. It must go.

I’ve joined the BlogRush rush. It’s the thing to do. Since everyone is doing it and I have to keep up with the Jones’ I decided I would. So that little widget thingy is there on my sidebar now. May everyone’s traffic increase.

UPDATE:

Pictures of the livingroom as of yesterday evening … more layers of red to happen today.

You can see the new drapes in this one … they look really good with the paint.  I’m looking forward to putting it all together.
