Wow, I'm bad at this

So, been a long time. Yep. Anyhoo... We painted our dinging room. At first it was going to be a gold color with a terracotta Venetian plaster overlay, in a cheaper paint, because Behr is freaking expensive. However, the gold color turned out to be road-stripe yellow when it dried. Not appetizing to say the least. Back to Home Depot to visit Dwight, the paint guy. He tinted it to what we thought was more of a peachy/pumpkin color. We called over Doc and Chaka Khan and had ourselves a little painting party. After it was all done and we finished stuffing ourselves full of pasta with home-made red sauce, we all trooped back into the dining room. The paint had.... okay, have you ever eater the cheap boxed mac'n'cheese, with the powdered sauce packet? My dining room was the color of that powder. We left it for a week or so to see if we adjusted - no. So, back to visit Dwight, where we had a new color mixed up, in Behr paint. Our new color is Beachwalk by Behr. A little bit of advice. Pay the extra for high quality paint. It's worth it. Now my dining room is warm, inviting and cozy. It doesn't look like the tacky monster blew up. We also took a three day weekend with Doc and Chaka Khan, and headed over to Eureka Springs. A fabulous time was had by all, and about a gazillion pictures were taken. I'll be sharing later. We also *gasp* joined a gym. What the hell was I thinking? However, the fact that I'm PAYING for this has motivated me to get my fat ass down there the last 7 days in a row. Feeling quite pleased with that I must say. A co-worker of BabyLove put together a workout schedule for us. He called on the first day to ask how it went. I said "Great! If you'd have been there I'd have slapped you and called you an asshole, so it must be working." Since my attitude has not improved, I'm guessing it's still going well. I guess I'll actually do some work now ...
