Last project...for now

This was sort of a last minute impulse. On my way home from Mutual I drove past a house that I could see the inside and her living room was painted brown and looked so good. So all that night I couldn't stop thinking of painting. I woke up, hurried and got Andee off to school, then ran over to Walmart. James was shocked when he came home, but thankfully he likes it.

More House Projects

So on Saturday I decided to start taking the wallpaper off and I started on the smallest area possible. Shortely after figured out that wasn't going to work so I thought just covering it up would be an easy fix. 10 hours later, and 3 trips to Home Depot later I was finally done. Doing the beadboard was the most frustrating and hard project ever imagined! Never doing that again.

ANDEE'S ROOM
Her room has been done for awhile, just never gotten around to taking pictures

THE LAUNDRY ROOM
While I was at Home Depot I figured since I was there to get a sheet of drywall and do some more walls in the laundry room. Also turned out to be not a very easy project. Trying to hold up the drywall sheet and hammer at the same time...not a good idea. I hit the tip of my finger at full force and split it open..not fun. And then putting the puddy stuff on the ceiling, it was flopping everywhere. But it's done and that's the important part. Now there's just 2 more areas that we can do and the laundry room will be some what of a normal room.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZ!

Well it's actually tomorrow, so I'm a little early. And I'm not saying how old because it's an unspoken number since it's 1 year away from the big 3...0!Haha. She's already getting depressed and it's still a year away. I can't believe we're getting so "old" yet we still look like we're in high school. Liz and I have come a long way. When we were younger she would always give me the hardest time for having small boobs and being a tom boy. I remember one time we got into a slapping and pulling hair match over I think clothes! But then I also remember when I was 7 or 8, she left a invitation in my room saying that I was invited to a sleep over that was being held in her room, and we were going to stay up late doing our nails and playing games. That's something I will never forget, I have the best big sister. When I was being homeschooled and had no friends, she would take me to her high school get togethers, I thought that was the coolest, hanging out with high school kids. She was always looking out for me. She's my best friend, she's always there to listen to me vent about my drama. I love you Liz. Hope you have a great day and thanks for all the good fun times.
