And there it goes!



Here's Shooter's after photo. His eyes are open, woohoo! Isn't he gorgeous?! I keep wanting to call him a her and Billy Jean. Too weird how much he looks like her. I took the before photo in one shot. It took about 10 to get the after photo.

It feels good to check the first job off my list. Today I have a party at 12:00. Yup, right smack dab in the middle of the day. So therefore, I end up spending the morning getting ready, the afternoon at the party and the evening getting the kids ready for bed. No time to work on my list. But I think tomorrow is going to be "go get the paint" day. So any little helpful hints for preparing and actually doing the painting will be helpful. I'm going to concentrate on the lower half of the hall for now. All the stuff I can reach on my own and with a regular ladder and then I'll move on from there. I'll take a few more shots of the hall from different angles so you see what I have to work with.

I think tomorrows post will be all about baskets. My favorite. I plan on leaving all types of ideas for using your baskets. How many times do you go to a Home Show and they give you 5 million ideas that you're completely excited about and then you get home, the basket arrives and you just can't remember any of those great ideas you were going to use. Now you can come here and find them.

See you tomorrow!

Do you know that if you click on the little arrow at the top of your page (it says something like "next blog"), it takes you to a porn site?? Yup. I guess that means you may get some accidental hits from some lecherous ones who will get a nice "cool down" at your sight. (Yuck!) The shooter thing was great--a perfect example of your blog holding you accountable. I know I was anxious to check on your progress... I'm thinking this could open up a whole new "form" of blogging. Your PA sister...
(By the way, Bill Miller is coming to town tonight. He is a Native American singer/songwriter and I hold him in the same category as the Indigo Girls. He is having dinner at our house tonight and breakfast here tomorrow morning--and then he's going to Sam's class tomorrow afternoon and my class Wednesday morning. I'm soooo excited!!)

That is so cool! Is that the guy you were telling me about during our trip down the shore for the day? Take lots of photos and notes to send me.

Do you think the porn blog people are terribly concerned about home improvement, baskets, organization, dog grooming (well, maybe the dog) YUCK! Tell Sam to log on already! He's the painter man after all. And I just got back from picking up the paint.
