Dang EFF!

We went to Lowes and got us some of that Valspar. (Previously we had used Ralph Lauren from Home Depot.) On your recommendation we used Valspar and it IS good. However we were painting over some deep color so we had to apply primer and than paint and that guy Sweetie, is a PERFECTIONIST. He had to apply TWO coats while I am yelling "It is perfect. It is perfect. No more. no more".

The score is so far..... Two bedrooms and two bathrooms done. (including the sewing of new draperies and stuff) On one ceiling I had painted the night sky.(Very hard to cover) We also had to remove wall paper in the bathroom from walls that were NOT sized. We learned a lot about skim coating. Everyone at Lowes knows us by our first name.

I'm so tired and we have acres yet to paint. I want to come home to TV!

Someone is gonna make that remark about writing a novel. I really DON'T think I'm interesting . When I'm typing I'm not painting.......
