I'm extremely close to the nine pound mark. Thinking I'll hit that weight by Friday if I eat decent the next few days! This morning I had a coke, and I enjoyed the crap out of it. Now I have a raging headache and I'm not enjoying the heck out of that. Win some, lose some. I haven't been exercising this week because I've been painting in every spare moment I can find. Plus I feel like painting is a type of exercise. I'm sore and stiff and aching so I'm counting it.
After an entire weekend of painting and only getting the second floor primered, minus the great room, I was feeling pretty down and overwhelmed. A bit on the defeated side and thinking there's no way I'm going to be able to get this house painted in time for carpet. Monday after I got home from work I cooked supper and then went out to paint at 7pm until 9pm. I was able to get the 1st coat on Paisley's room and I started to feel a little better about what I had left to paint. Yesterday I stayed home from work due to no day care and was able to finish Paisley's room and painted the ceilings in Jayda's room and the bathroom. No more ceilings....thank goodness! I really wanted to get them done just so I didn't have to think about doing anymore ceilings and dreading going back out to finish them. So tonight I'll get started on Jayda's room. I taped it last night so it would be ready to go tonight. That leaves me with her room, the spare room and the family room left to do for carpet. We are going to borrow a sprayer to do the great room, which will be a huge relief. That room was really daunting me and I didn't even want to begin.
"Let's have 12 foot ceilings," we said. "That'll look cool, " we said." And build all of these cute little nooks above the closet in the bedrooms, those'll be so fun to decorate," we said. Uhm, DUMB. What a pain in the butt to paint!!
It will look great, but sure didn't think that stuff through very well! I'll try to get some pictures of Paisley's room tonight! I think it turned out cute and I'm liking my color choices so far. When I put the 1st coat of pink on one wall I was freaking out a little. It was looking a little on the neon side. Then when I went back the next day it looked even worse, you could see every brush stroke and roller line. Thankfully after the second coat, it looked MUCH better! The grey-ish taupe color I used on the rest of the walls balances the pink out and once we get furniture and decorations hung, I think it'll be just right! So fun!
The ceilings in the kitchen, dining and both downstairs bathrooms are finished now. We did a copper tin in the kitchen and dining and galvanized color in the bathrooms. Turned out pretty cool. Today they are working on finishing the rock on the fireplace. Next up is the tile around the jacuzzi tub and the tile floor in the hallway upstairs.
Oh and we had our first calf last night! Let the fun begin!
