The Continuing Saga of Painting and Other Various Subjects

So, I have had one painter come out to give me a bid, and I have two today. I am still doing a majority of the painting, but am looking for someone to do the great room, stairwell and possibly the kitchen if I can swing it. I really want to get it done so that I can hang things on my walls. I refuse to put everything up and then have to redo it, especially the 6 huge curtain panels in the family room. There is so much to buy and it takes so long to save up for everything that I want, which means we have white walls and no furniture still. It is exciting to have our own place though and be doing it all ourselves. I fuss, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I am taking a break from the monotony and driving to LA for the weekend to see my best friend, Kelly, in the musical, Ragtime. I am very excited. I also am excited for my Dad's 70th birthday which is coming up. I love my Dad so much and it is fun to get to spoil him a little, when he will let me. Our life is starting to get back into our school year routine which is nice, summer really threw me for a loop this year. I love my schedule! Hopefully soon I will have some pictures to post. Until then....
