Is it Wednesday already?!

Man time flies.

How is it that long, hot summer days, the ones where you are B-O-R-E-D out of your mind, where your kids are driving you to the asylum in a Speed Racer fashion, seem to have no actual time in them?

We had company over the weekend of the 4th, and we will continue to have company every weekend until August. I am thrilled because... have I mentioned, I'M LONELY?!

However, there is a boat load of things I want to get done before each of these weekends occurs. So the last visitors will get to see a more completed house than the first.

Why this matters, I do not know.

Possibly it is a good excuse to spend money I would otherwise put off spending, even though I want to spend it to do these things. Does that even make sense?!

Last week we got two bedrooms painted. Mad's is ORANGE. Think tangerine. University of Tennessee. Home Depot. Terminix. These are all the possibilities D and I came up with while painting her room until midnight on Wednesday.

Thankfully, I got to sleep in. Unfortunately for D, he had to get up at 5 am for work. Oh, the things men do for their women.

Unbelievably, her room looks PHENOMENAL!! I am SO glad I took a chance and trusted my 11 year old with her room color! I wanted her to be satisfied with the result, but I secretly wanted to love the room too, and I DO!!

Did I mention this room will be the room our guests use? I have forewarned them to bring sunglasses for sleeping.

On Thursday, I got started while D was at work. It was the least I could do, what with his sleep deprivation and all. And it's a good thing too. I worked for 3 hours before he got home, and we worked together ANOTHER 8 HOURS.

11 HOURS TOTAL.

PAINTING.

This time, we painted the little girl's room a dark rich pink and all the furniture white. I saw it in the Pottery Barn kids catalog when I ordered the quilt that is on their beds and it looked awesome. The wall color matched the darkest shade of pink in the quilt, and I copied PBkids design idea.

Needless to say, dark pink halfway around a room with streaks is not very alluring.

When D came home and saw it about a quarter of the way completed, he did not have much faith.

Oh he believed, alright. He believed he would be priming and repainting the room a different color.

Oh ye of little faith!

Let me tell you, at 11:30 pm when all the painting was done and the room was put back together, he walked in and was like "WOW!"

I concur. The room looks amazing.

You cannot go wrong copying Pottery Barn stuff, folks. I believe it is virtually impossible.

So now we have the paint to do Daniel's room. We told him as soon as our company from last weekend left, we would paint.

Needless to say, they left Saturday afternoon, which is approximately 4 days ago, and his walls are still white instead of the granite gray we are going to paint them.

And I MUST get it done before this weekend's company comes.

Why I must, I do not know.

Maybe doing it because company is coming is the only way it will actually get done!
