Weekend Fun



This weekend and the last and the next I have infinite lists of what I'd like to get done before Quincy arrives. Once I got pregnant I immediately felt the nesting gene start to work. There are always so many little things that you'd like to do to your home that never seem to get done. I decided that now is the time because once the baby gets here I know that everything will take lower priority. Even though I'm so tired my mind can't shut off about what all we need to do. We still have many weeks, but then I think, "what if he comes early???. The project for this weekend was to paint the guest bathroom. When I moved here, it was pretty much ready to go as far as cosmetic things. I liked the color of the walls, almost all the fixtures were new, so it was minimal to no work. The only two things that I really didn't like were the colors of the bathrooms. The guest bathroom was red, ceiling and all, and had sparkly gold glitter. It wasn't NEAR as bad as it sounds, but it was different. And it made the bathroom feel really small. So, I did all the preliminary work like taping and wiping down the baseboards and moving all of the things out so that John could paint. It ended up being a bigger job than expected (when doesn't it?) and took most of the weekend. Of course, we've never really painted interiors before. So, lots of trips back and forth to Home Depot and many "we'll know to do that differently next time" mistakes. But, we did look like crazy serious painters though. That is all that counts, right?
