Painting Day 4 & Challenge Day 10
Mar. 15th, 2006 02:48 pmA discussion about dinner I just had with hubby.
minxy_baby: Hey babe, how do you feel about meat loaf and mashed potatoes for dinner? Maybe with a side veggie or something?
nodeg: Sure, sounds good.
minxy_baby: I'm going to need your help though. I'll get the meat loaf in the oven, but you'll probably have to do the rest by yourself. You'll have to peel potatoes.
nodeg: Actually, I really feel like those frozen chicken strips. I've had a craving.
minxy_baby: You fucker! Well, in that case you can cook everything by yourself, and I'll just keep painting.
nodeg: heh No problem.
What is it with men and peeling potatoes? Or is it just my man? lol
Empanadas were on the menu, but I'm going to postpone those for a couple more days. I need time to get the house sorted out before I can spend several hours in the kitchen. (Reminder to myself: Update menu withpast & future meals.)
I woke up at 6:30am. I laid in bed listening to the wind outside for 20 minutes. Then I got up, put on my painting clothes, quietly left the bedroom, and got straight to work. The second coat on the trim (including the window) is drying. I'm going to have to mask the ceiling in a bit. When it's dry I can start the walls. Yippee!! This is the last of my painting. Two coats on the walls, then my house can be sorted out. I'm glad I took it easy yesterday 'cause my body is back to normal.
As I was painting the window, Binka, the ever so affectionate cat, jumped up on the frame to get my attention. Luckily she jumped onto a mostly dry section, and only ended up with a little bit of white on her feet. She needs constant lovins, that one. :)
I am having my first coffee of the day. It feels good to be mostly done. These walls will probably take me into the night, but I've been waiting to get the living room done for what seems like forever! Once the house is liveable again, I can get to other chores... like laundry, cleaning the bathrooms, and the constant stack of dishes. The fun just never stops at Minxy's house! lol I am enjoying my leave though, believe it or not. ;) I should have a couple days in the end to just sit down and relax.
