Snippets of Conversations from Today

March 16, 2008 by Amy Leave a Comment

Scott and I went to visit our elderly neighbor in the hospital today.  We asked her what they found out about him and she says:

“We think it was the medicine they gave him.  It made him very erotic.  Thank goodness that’s over.”

———————————————————————-

Emma: I need to think of one.  Daddy, haven’t you thunk-a-one yet?

———————————————————————-

Emma walking down the aisle at Lowe’s: A good camper should be a good host.

———————————————————————-

Emma: Mommy, will you [insert something she asked me to do while I was doing something else]

Me: Emma, I will.  I can only do so much.

Emma: Nuh-uh.  You can only do one thing at a time.  You only have two hands.

Dining/Living Room Paint: Before and After

March 16, 2008 by Amy Leave a Comment

This weekend we completed the painting of the dining room, living room and hallway.  We didn’t repaint the sunroom.  We decided to repaint that green because it’s a brighter color and I really like the green and that’s where I spend most of my day.  I do like the taupe/sand color in the living room though.  It makes it feel warmer.  Here are the before and after pictures.  Now just imagine all the rooms you see with walnut colored hardwoods…oh, I can’t wait!

(Moved around some wall hangings.  Still want a clock above the tv.)

Taking a moment

March 15, 2008 by Amy Leave a Comment

Well, we are day 2 into the weekend and the girls visit to the beach.  So what have we done on this kid-free weekend?  Last night we went with C&D out to eat and then spent the rest of the evening until about midnight painting the living room and hallway.  We got 90% done and just had to finish one wall and do touch-ups.

This morning I had choir practice and I came home to finish painting.  We also cleaned house and even the van.  It’s amazing..it’s a few hours later and it’s STILL clean.

I think right now we’re going to repaint the sun room the green it already was.  It used to be the playroom so there’s crayon and everything else on the wall.

Tonight we have a dinner planned with Scott’s shift from work so I’m guessing that will take the bulk of our evening.

Living room pictures soon to come!  Waiting on the paint to dry to hang everything back up.

Kitchen Paint: Before And After

March 14, 2008 by Amy Leave a Comment

OK, here’s step one of the kitchen makeover.  Walnut colored hardwoods and a some sort of new countertop are coming (and hopefully maybe sometime in the future cross your fingers a new stove).  Sorry the pictures aren’t the same, I took the before ones and Scott took the after ones.  If you can’t tell, the after color is a sand type color.  It seems to really change it’s look depending on the lighting though.

I got everything done today…I mean yesterday

March 13, 2008 by Amy Leave a Comment

Ok, so it’s after midnight but everything I meant to get done this evening I did.  Got the girls packed, went with them to the High School Musical play (cute but it went too late for Lexi), finished painting the kitchen (pictures soon to come) and started painting the living room.

That’s the good news.  The bad news is now I’m behind on my reading (The Bible in 90 Days) and I already was behind. There are two grace days built in so you really could read it in 88 days but I’m guessing that might not happen.

The girls leave in the morning at 10 and I have to work but I’m hoping Scott will feel inspired to finish up the living room even though he detests painting.  Really I’m hoping the floors come in and then I’ll be happy to paint while he starts the floor!

Another busy one

March 13, 2008 by Amy Leave a Comment

So busy, I’m blogging haha.  Seriously, It’s already 30 min past when I log off and I still have a ton to do.

The girls leave for the beach in the morning and I’m still washing clothes and haven’t even gotten a suitcase down for them yet.

I’m thinking of taking the girls to see High School Musical tonight since they are going to the beach tomorrow morning and we’ll miss our regularly scheduled show tomorrow night.

AND I want to finish painting the kitchen and get started on the living room, hoping against hope that our floors arrive tomorrow or Saturday.

Oh AND Lost comes on tonight.

How much I’ve made since MARCH 1 on my OTH site.

Oh.

my.

goodness.

That’s less than two weeks.  I could get used to this.  We had another record number of page views yesterday at 34K.  Too bad the last episode is next Tuesday until it comes back in April because of the writer’s strike.
