Day One

Pop and Marmie left this morning around 9:15 a.m. with the kids. I immediately left to go to the library to drop off an audiobook, and to stop in at Sherwin Williams to look at paint colors for CootieBoy’s room. I thought we had plenty of sand colored paint in the garage, but it turns out the cans are mostly empty – the previous owners left them behind so we’d have the codes in case we wanted to get more. I picked out six shades of yellow/brown to think about putting on his wall as part of his new Indiana Jones-themed room (well, I mean that I’d pick one of the six shades – not that I would use all six!!).

I then got to work on CootieGirl’s room – the first coat of paint is done to cover up the mural. I’ll put on a second coat after lunch over the entire wall to get a uniform blue on that wall. If I have enough paint left, I may do a second wall – I’m not sure about that one yet. Marmie tried to talk me into it last night. I’ll only do it if I think I have enough paint once I put on the 2nd coat this afternoon.

It is raining here today, so no pool and no laundry yardwork. As such, I’m also hoping to put the first coat of black paint on the cedar chest in the formal living room and get that project done early (rather than waiting for Thursday. My lunch got postponed to tomorrow so I’m hoping to get a lot of the indoor stuff done today if at all possible (heck, I may even go out and get the paint for Cootieboy’s room if I can decide which shade to use and paint the first coat in his room).
