What a week! I’m glad it’s over!

At home:
Last weekend was a whirlwind. Katie and I decided to paint one of the guest rooms and added the downstairs bathroom at the last minute. I am convinced that all the home improvement shows have us suckered into believing that painting a room is a quick, easy weekend task. It’s not really as quick and easy as it seems… There is the taping, the wall repair, choosing a color (actually the easiest part for us) and the painting itself.

I supposed it wouldn’t be too bad if our walls weren’t as textured as they were. They seemed to soak up the paint readily but leave a multitude of tiny white spots showing through. Multiple coats with rollers and brushes were required. Even then, we have to go back sometime soon and fix the small areas that we somehow missed.

Yeah, that quick and easy weekend project ended up extending into Monday and Tuesday night! The results are stunning though. We chose a great slightly green grey color that fits both rooms well. I installed a new lamp, towel holder and toilet paper holder in the downstairs bath. New blinds and a curtain were installed in the guest room.

Wednesday was a long night as Katie and I finished getting ready for our guests to arrive. Floors had to be swept and mopped, the downstairs bathroom had to be put back together – none of the pictures or furniture had been put back.

Thursday we just hung out with Katie’s friend Vanessa and Daniel hung out with her daughter Judy.

Friday, finally it’s Friday! Home… watching Daniel and Judy so Katie and Vanessa can had some adult time together. Nothing like to old friends out on the town together!

Work, work is another story… lots of tasks, lots of projects, lots of things going on. I’m sure that it will smooth out soon, but it ended up just being an extremely long week at work. Sometimes it feels like the day will never end! Add on top a major activity scheduled at the office on Sunday… at least I have tonight and tomorrow!

Have a great weekend everybody!
