another thing on my list....check

Last night I earned the right to highlight something on my list (I'm not crossing out...that would be JOAN speak and this stuff is ALL BABS)

We've had deliciously colored paint for the living room and hallways for about 8 months now. The pictures don't quite do it justice but the name of the color is Tibetan Orange, our contrast color will be Red Pepper...I can't WAIT until it's done, it'll be like being wrapped in the Dalai Lama's robes! (looking at this picture, I'll have to get some lighter orange accents, maybe pillows or picture frames...)
Friday, I found myself with the boys out of the house and the mini-me at a Girl Scout lock in...
What to do, what to do?
Since Bm had to be dropped off at 8:45pm, it would be too late for a massage or yoga class or a touch up to my  pedicure...maybe a movie? maybe a trip to the book store?

I'LL PAINT THE HALLWAY.
As soon as I said it (okay I typed it, in an IM to my BFF while at work...we do that often), I KNEW it was the right thing to do because my heart got excited.
Now...if you're a faithful reader, you'll know that my head and heart rarely agree and when they do I'm not often aware of it...so this was a BIG DEAL (If you're not a faithful reader...start reading dangit! This is good stuff!)

I didn't get both hallways done...I didn't think I would but I DID start with the one that leads to OUR bedroom...so I can smile and admire my handiwork each day to and from bed :)
And it was WORK let me tell you!
When I awoke this morning, there was no mistaking my arms were in a position above shoulder level for an extended period of time yesterday...but it's all good!

The hub and I hit the big box store for some additional supplies and we're gonna work on the rest of the room (hallway, living room) together tomorrow.
We might not get it done...but we've got it going!
