Weekend of Painting

Saturday, 2-7-2004: No kids all day today or tomorrow. I started my day by completely emptying out the living room and dining room. It took less than an hour but the rooms are completely empty now, including curtains, pictures and furniture. I plan to paint all the walls this weekend. I spent all day sanding and patching the unfinished walls. I’ve lived here for over 6 years now and have never painted the walls in the living/dining rooms. They’re kind of a yellowish white color mixed in with scratches, dirt, streaks, scribbles (Emily liked to color on the walls when she was a baby). Tricia came over and we went to Lowes so she could help me pick out colors. We decided on #C5BD8C for the living room and #83ABD7 for the front door/closet area. Click here to see Tricia’s secret message to Lowes. After Lowes, we went to the Funny Bone to see Bobcat Goldthwait. I’ve seen him before but he was still pretty funny. A couple of guys got thrown out of the club near the end for heckling him so much.

Sunday, 2-8-2004: Spent all day painting. Looks really good. It’s weird to have clean walls. Moved most of the furniture back. Here’s a picture.
