Primed and ready to go:

I hate most about painting: the mess

I love most about painting: it’s theraputic and the end result is usually worth it!

I’ve already emptied the bedroom except for the bed. Today’s task is to prime the dark red wall (bye, bye!), fix cracks, and paint the ceiling.

Tomorrow, I will actually be putting paint on the wall. I’m so excited! It’s going to look great when it’s finished. At least, I hope.

And here’s something great - it’s raining! And it’s currently 68 degrees! I put the trash out this morning and nearly shivered. The wind woke me up at about 2:45 am followed shortly by heavy rain, some thunder and lightening. It rained for a long while and I laid there and listened to it. Couldn’t go back to sleep.

This morning, my cell phone rang and woke me up at 7 am. Some guy on the other end says, “Hey, baby.” Too bad he had the wrong nunber becuase he had a sexy voice.

Oh, and yes, Lara. I make my bed. Every day. I can’t sleep in an unmade bed. Is that weird?

I’m off to get my first cup of coffee. I’m so tempted to open windows and doors since it’s so lovely outside!
