Project update 3 PRETTY FLOWERS OOOOH
All day Monday (the day after I painted the W.C. pink), I was a lump. Tired, achy, and generally unable to get a damn thing done. Tuesday I felt great, did some chores, ignored the bathroom. Wednesday is my stupidly busy day of the week, because it’s the day I NEED my car (to pick up and deliver Crash to various activities), so I didn’t do anything with the bathroom again.
Last night instead of making an attempt to get the hopelessly stuck tape off of everything in my indoor outhouse, I went to the Mega-Lo Mart with Sgt. Bones and lured him into the garden section, where I cleverly tricked him into buying several types of flowers, some soil and pots. What? I was working on a different project? Since WHEN!?
Tomorrrow I cannot work on any chores/projects, as my dad is coming to visit (here we cue the Imperial March from Star Wars, ahem). On Saturday we expect Sgt. Bones’ parents to arrive (here we cue Celebration, by Kool & The Gang). Anyway, today I have to complete all my chores.
Oh, I chose purple tulips and blue hyacinths for the large pots, and got a pair of daffodils for the green strawberry pot I’ve had for five years but never once grown any strawberries (or anything else, for that matter) in. There were strawberries available at the store last night; Sgt. Bones didn’t see a need for us to get them so I passed them by too. I’ll have pictures of everything– the bathroom walls, the flowers, and my happy smiling face– after this weekend.
Project update 2
grrr… issues with tape removal. I should have just done it the old way, with my super-steady hand and keen eyes. Fighting to keep my paint on the wall when I pull up the tape is really, REALLY frustrating. I’ll be touching up for days.
Project update 1
Very tired, but mission complete, two coats of fairytale pink in an itsy-bitsy half bath… mwahaha!
Pics in the morning, after I pull the painter’s tape down!
I’m really liking it.
Sunday Project
I am going to paint the powder room pink.
Pictures to follow! ^_^

I occasionally have difficulty sleeping. In days gone by, I’d get out of bed and busy myself with some mindless task or another, but now that I have my stinking iPhone, I can just roll over and do all the mindless crap without leaving my warm and cozy bed.
I actually think it helps. Before I might have gotten up and stayed awake until 2, maybe 3 am— now, I browse for 20-30 minutes and roll back away and to sleep. Unless I get playing some addictive game with bright colors and explosions.
Anyway, I’m sleepy now. ^_^
>_>
Update for the first hour awake:
Fed babies. Made (and started drinking) coffee. Tidied up a bit. Read a few things on the interwebs. Joined a facebook fan page. Started doing this, now feeling like I am being too lazy, so bye.
Sunny!
It’s so pretty this morning, I think I might be opening up the kitchen windows and cleaning in an hour or two!
Or I could put on my new workout clothes and take a jog. Maybe Wii Fit.
Or maybe I will tuck myself under a blanket, eat donuts, and play Harvest Moon.
Phew!
Survived the crud. Planning to eat proper food today, too. I’m not going to get on the scale, I decided. I’m going to wait until after at least one monster taco feast before I decide if the sick had any lasting impact. Right now I am having coffee and thinking about what I should have for breakfast.
Yesterday was little George’s birthday (it was also Big George’s but that is not her namesake) and since every one of the grown ups in the house was sick, she didn’t get any big hoopla in her honor. She did get some cute clothes for herself and her dolly, and some activity books with shapes and letters, but I couldn’t even make her a cake. I think we’ll just take her out this weekend.
Added a new link today too, one of my awesome SL/FB friends is blogging about her mission to get in shape for Comic-Con, and I think it’s fan-freakin-tastic. I wish I had some kind of motivation to pursue fitness, but since I don’t, I’ll just cheer her on.
Did I break it?
Making some adjustments but having trouble seeing my changes. Ignore this! ^_^
At least the weather is pretty.
Gorgeous weather this weekend. Mid sixties yesterday, in fact. I should never believe the weather forecast.
However, the two small ones both picked up whatever Crash had, so we’ve been dealing with barf since Friday evening. Not fun. Sgt. Bones and myself are faring well; Mothra disappeared to her room this morning though, and I fear she’s probably got the crud too.
Provided everyone’s in fair shape this evening, I’ll be off to sit with Crash while she sells Girl Scout cookies in front of a local home & farm supply store. Good times!!
