Alright, alright, a new post

Well, Ellen informs me that certain member of my extended family wish that I would update my blog. :) Okay. I agree, it has been a while and I do have things that I could post about.
1st, I have been very busy painting everything in my house. Now I am a lover of beautiful wood trim, but we do not have beautiful wood trim. We have doggie chewed on, rubbed on wood trim. :) Not so pretty, so I have been priming and painting everything including the doors. I have painted both girls rooms a new color and new trim, the hallway has new trim and wall paint and the downstairs bath has new tile floors, new wall paint and trim paint. I also have a new faucet fixture and light fixture for Bill to put up when he gets time. (Thank you tax refund). :) So now I have turned to the stairway and the front door. All the trim and the front door has been painted and I just need to do the wall paint. Oh, I should say that the previous owners left a 5 gallon bucket of the wall paint, so I am just using the same paint color and giving everything another coat of the same color because they missed a lot of places. Yesterday and today I have been painting trim in the living room and kitchen and I finished painting the trim and doors in our upstairs hallway. The upstairs bathroom also has new tile (the same as downstairs) and new paint (the same as downstairs) and will get a new faucet fixture and light fixture as well. The only room I haven't done upstairs is Alex's room, that will be a challenge. I also have the tv room downstairs as well to do, but that should only be a two day project. Our project for this weekend is to buy some laminate wood flooring and install that in the kitchen and entryway.
So you see, it isn't that I have been sitting around every afternoon and reading novels and eating chocolates. :) I really have been busy.
