A Home Improvment Weekend

All that was missing was a Tim the Tool Man Taylor marathon on TBS (and there may have been one, the TV was unplugged, I couldn’t check.)

DH started the Weekend Friday afternoon by putting up that shelf in DS2’s room to help protect the new CD player in there.  Then he hung a big plaque for me in the kitchen, and some other little things all around that didn’t take long, but they kept piling up, make the infamous “Honey-Do” list incredibly long.

Saturday, we sent the kids out to play in the pool in the backyard, and started on the living room.  Sanding the existing layer of spackle, and bleaching the walls before applying primer.  Together, we got two coats of primer and then two coats of color on the walls.  Yup.  Four times around the room in the space of about 6 hours.  But it looks awesome out there.  No pictures yet though, because I still have to do the trim, and since it’s the the same trim color as the hallway, I’m waiting until we get the little hallway done to crack open the trim color.

Sunday was a haze.  I was so out of it all day… I literally didn’t wake up until about 9pm.  Well, I was awake, but I was so foggy-headed, it felt like I was sleep-walking all day.

So today will be spent cleaning up the remainder of the mess from the weekend of fun in the livingroom, most of which is all over my room and my desk in the office.
