Tuesday, still dyin'.

[mapsedge]

I'm starting to wonder if the last gallon of paint we got from DIY Idiot's Haven was as fresh as other gallons of paint we got. It was way too thick...okay okay, so viscosity is just a matter of degrees and nobody else probably would have noticed, but I've got this thing for texture and I did.

Anyway, last night's adventure was to repeat the bedroom painting process, cutting in with a Crappy Ol' Angled Brush, and then rolling the bulk of it. Took maybe two hours, but day-yum! Feels like Monday morning all over again. I can barely make a fist my joints are so swollen.

On the plus side: except for a wee bit of touch up that I can do any time, our bedroom is done (I even got the ceiling fan reassembled.) There's some repair work to do around the door in Katie's room but the largest part of her room is done.

Tonight, we empty closets - at least the bottom half. Tomorrow, move the furniture out - including a gigantically huge Stearns & Foster king size pillow top mattress that weighs about as much as a Lincoln Town Car, and then we get new carpet. That I'm looking forward to.

mmmmmm....Lowe's
Said like homer Simpson says "doughnuts".

We went over to the new one on Roe.
A new Lowe's.
It was like a fresh field of untrodden snow on christmas morning.
Spent near 2 hours just absorbing the ambience.

If I had to choose, I'll take Lowe's over Home Depot over Sutherlands. Lowe's has got a polished display that makes shopping there pretty easy for me...and since I rarely have to ask for help, I don't care if the staff is educated or not. Home Depot just feels like I'm shopping in an old cardboard box. Don't EVEN get me started on Sutherlands. I don't know how they stay in business.

My friend Kristin swears by Lowe's. And where Kristin goes, I follow.
