PAINTING FOR PRESIDENTS

Yep, I've been painting all weekend. See, its like this. I really HAVE to paint my bedroom before I think about putting new carpet down. Better to drip paint on old carpet than new. Besides, its alot more fun to paint when you don't have to worry about getting the paint on the carpet, ya know?? So all weekend, starting on Saturday, my main focus has been painting my bedroom. A very barely there green. My vision is roses. Romantic and feminine. So I have painted all 3 days and I'm still not done. My bedroom has one extremely high wall and, of course, a sloped ceiling too. All thats left to do is about a foot at the top of that high wall and then 3 feet out from there on the ceiling. Also, corners and touch-up. After that its all the trim, which won't take long. So next weekend, I will finish. I bought a long extension for the roller but its heavy and with my bad shoulder, I decided to wait to finish til then. After the bedroom is finished (I bought all new rose-themed comforter and pillows online, too!), I will tackle the attached dressing area and bathroom. I have chosen a rich and bold color called Cranberry Splash. The gal at Home Depot told me it will take a primer coat (bought it!) and, at the very least 2 complete color coats. Fortunately, no high walls in there. My vision is that it will look nice from the light green w/roses in the bedroom. I'm thinking cream colored towels in there and a vintage fashion poster on the wall, if I can find one. So that will have to wait til the following weekend but I think I can finish in just one weekend. I will take a pic and post it here when all is done.

Tomorrow is our annual International Potluck at work. I just got done making Swedish Meatballs. At least I am calling them Swedish Meatballs. Used pre-cooked meatballs, mushroom soup, fresh sauteed mushroom, and sauteed onions. I will add sour cream to it all just before its served. Sounds good to me! I hope everyone remembers to bring there food tomorrow. I'm worried that since its a 3-day weekend, some will forget. But not my problem.
I got mine, so I know I'm eating. I will have to be careful, still on WeightWatchers. Its been two weeks and I am going to go weigh myself right now...hang on.........yippee! I lost 3 lbs this week!!! Congrats to me!! I want to lose 40 lbs, at least.....so this is an excellent start!

Well, I'm off to cook a Lean Cuisine meal.............
