I totally feel like crap today. My allergies are really bad and my eyes feel like they weigh 1000 pounds. My stomach feels weird too, like I feel like I am hungry even though I ate, it has felt that way since I woke up this morning. Work is kinda slow today and therefore not helping my heavy eyes.
Renovation continue on Casa Vasquez. We are half way down with painting the dining room. The room was primed on Thursday night, then Will gave it one coat Friday and I finished it with a heavy second coat of paint of Saturday. This weekend is striping time. After a small disagreement I went and bought a laser level to make the process of taping off the stripes easier. I started taping last night and I did one stripe and got tired. I will try to do some more this week, otherwise Friday night Will and I will tape out the stripes together and I will paint on Saturday.
Our house looks like a disaster right now with the dining room table and 6 chairs in the living room. The kitchen island is covered with tons of papers and painting stuff. I can't wait to finish off the dining room so our house can get back to some form of normality. Once the dining room is finished I will poster before, during and after pictures.
Also this past weekend we had a new fence installed and took out excess concrete that was around the patio. We decided to fill it in with dirt and plant flowers. We bought a bunch of seeds to plant but we also bought two Lily's plants. I love Lily's and figured in honor of Princess Lilly dog we would plant some Lily's, unfortunately there are no Winston plants so he is SOL.
Our next big project which wouldn't be started for a new months is to finish off the basement. Before we do that, we are going to buy a shed and do a huge spring cleaning with a giant yard sale. The house is coming along nicely and overtime will be exactly how we want it.
I also really want to get a chair to put in our bedroom but don't want to spend a fortune. I am hopefully going to check out the Pit at Bob's Furniture's store. You can get some pretty nice stuff, that might have the smallest thing wrong with it. It alittle pen mark or something. We got two really nice recliners from the Pit before and no one knew there weren't perfect except us. Well I guess that is all for now.
