I'm so tired! I painted one of the rooms in the house (the piano room, specifically) two days ago, and my legs hurt so bad! I guess I didn't anticipate the squatting issues involved! YEEOUCH. Last night we went to my brother's high school football game, and going up the stadium stairs wasn't too much of a problem, but when we descended, I thought I was going to D-I-E. I was whining at each and every step. Today I am still moaning. Yeah, I'm a real joy to be around. The real clincher is that I totally don't even like the paint color! I picked it out, and I went through the 8 hours of work . . . am going through day TWO of pain . . . and am not in love with the color. It will grow on me, and the bright side is that it looks a lot better than the flat painted-white walls that were the former owner's selection :-) I know that flat paint is cheaper . . . but come on, people! Especially when you have children in the house - go with semi-gloss for cleaning purposes. OK, I'm done moaning.
The brighter side of things, also, is that I can now hang a picture of my two boys that I have had for quite some time. I've been delaying it because I needed to repair the walls in the room, paint the room, and now . . . . VOILA, we are ready!
I hope you all have a good LABOR day! We're having family in, and I'm so looking forward to it because we don't get to see these folks very much. One of my favorite things in the world is "shooting the breeze". Where did that phrase come from? :-)

Ugh - I know your pain girlfriend! We painted our whole kitchen, supposed sage green, but it was more like pastel Easter green,.. we repainted... and groaned all the more :) I too tend to use semi-gloss for cleanability, but have moved to satin... which is the best of both worlds (no, not Hannah Montana.. lol).
This one made me laugh...I love how you are able to describe things so that I feel like I'm there! :) Great job...on the painting too! It's ok to groan when you're in pain! ;) It's a lot of work, isn't it? I thought I was going to get so much painting done this summer but haven't worked on it at all...once I start again though, I will be on a roll again, I'm sure!
