Thursday Thirteen a day late and html code short
Yesterday, my computer blocked me (or maybe my muse did have breakfast with Shan’s) and I couldn’t get into about 85% of the blogs, including my own. So no Thursday Thirteen.
It’s been crazy around here this week with the house stuff we’ve started. So here’s the stuff we’ve got to accomplish this weekend.
1) Help the husband outline and research a 1000 word argumentative essay.
2) Type in said essay, correcting as much grammar and spelling as possible.
3) balance the checkbook and figure out exactly what’s left of our remodeling budget
4) pay some bills *whimper*
5) find painting supplies in the basement **found some of these in my office. Huh, guess I never put them away after painting the kidlets room
6) move all the furniture in the living room, cover it with tarp and attempt to paint the living room ceiling **all pictures down, trim removed, tables and TV cleared off and incidentals outta here. Everything else just gets pushed inward.
7) did I mention it’s textured? Yes, this needed 2 spots, it’s a damn textured ceiling. I’d rather cut off my pinky than paint a textured ceiling…
8) keep four curious cats out of paint (egads)
9) do the kidlets laundry. and ours.
10) I’m sure the normal chores like dishes and cooking aren’t going to go away, are they?
11) work at “real job” for 3 hrs Sat morning
12) clean up mess from painting
13) take three sleeping pills and get up Monday morning wondering wtf happened to my weekend…
But, since the above sounds whiny (I shudder to think of it) we’ll accomplish it all with a lot of laughs, a few aches and pains (like when I’m writing checks) and I’ll be soooooo glad when it’s done and my house looks better. 
Ooh this emoticon seems appropriate
LOL. Just think, you may actually be glad to see Monday for a change 
– take it easy and try to find some rest and relaxation in there.

Maybe you can at least get a paint fume high?

9pm, Sat night. Living room ceiling painted. Furniture removed to where it belongs and floor (wood) scrubbed clean (yeah, we made a mess). Dishes washed (but then I made dinner, argh, so gotta do that again.)
My daughter and I had fun painting. We ended up with paint all over us. We used a new (to us anyway) paint that goes on purple and dries white. Pretty neat! It feels good to have all that done!
