to my friend, jenny, on becoming a first-time homeowner today!  when am i going to get to see pix???

that’s what i’ve felt like this week.  i guess it makes up for the three weeks of sloth from being sick.  i started saturday with a good four hours to clean out the bathroom and tape everything off.  sunday turned out to be unproductive but i spent my lunch hour monday drawing lines and then seven hours monday night painting.  tuesday night was another seven hours of painting.  yep, that’s nineteen hours to paint a bathroom and small hall.  nineteen hours of MY time, that doesn’t include the five or six hours that hubby pitched in.  so really that’s twenty-five man-hours on this one, small project.  i never expected it to be such a monster.  last night, i scrubbed down both bathrooms top to bottom.  and we did some general picking up to prepare for our company this weekend.  i feel much better about the matter. 

as for the bathroom, i think things came out beautifully, all things considered.  it sure as heck should look good after nineteen hours!  the blue is a little brighter than i thought it would be but it’s growing on me.  no matter what, it looks a thousand times better than it did.  once we get the bedroom painted, it’ll really look complete.
