Progress: In the Making

trystinnI have new glasses and a new purple witch hat (a weakness of mine, I don't even look that great in purple). The latter is due to a trip to Pier One, as I'm looking for bistro cushions for the back porch. I'm hoping for something bright and folk-arty. I only need two, but its not been easy because it sets the tone for the rest of the porch. I may try Target again, but its so late in the season now.
The back porch received its second coat of paint this afternoon. Now we're just waiting for it to dry.
The rest of the week, at a glance:
Wednesday: Michael is coming first thing to get the dog tunnel installed. Which means I'm going to have to cancel on the poultry 4-H folks tomorrow, much to my friends' relief, I'm sure. Back goes the knee brace that didn't fit right. I'll keep the poultry net, which will come in handy here as I'm tired of stooping it back and forth between the chicken coops and the duck pens. I'm desperate to get the back gates painted, so I'll likely do that tomorrow. I should be okay in the open air. I have a face mask, gloves and overalls.
Thursday: Paint must be chosen and purchased: new kitchen color, new foyer color and more dining room paint. And another gallon or two of ceiling paint for the front of the house.
Friday: Jeremiah is coming over to PAINT THAT DAMN WALL! I don't care if I have to borrow money from my mother for the wedding in Colorado. I cannot take another week of looking at that f*cking wall. I admit I'm shallow, over-reacting and freaking out. Screw it. That wall is getting painted this week. Likely once I'm done groveling in gratitude, he'll finish up by painting the foyer, dining room, kitchen and ceilings in the front of the house.
Friends have offered to help Josh yank out the carpet and replace it with Pergo. So that's waiting until September.
*whew*
