Okay... I've been lame...

And I haven't posted in over a week. Ah well! If you look at my 101 list, you'll see that I've been kinda busy. This weekend I painted the smurf room, made a birthday cake for my sister and a birthday card using my cricut cutter, went to Home Depot a few times and went mattress shopping.

So, I crossed painting the smurf room off the list, but I'm not QUITE finished painting b/c I need to do the top by the ceiling b/c we're not putting crown molding up in the extra bed rooms. But here's some before pics, I'll post the "afters" later.Now you see what I mean about SMURF room! When we first started working on the house, Taylor's cousin Jason was living with us and Taylor had the bright idea to tell Jason that he could paint his room whatever color he wanted. BAD IDEA! Because he came home with a MIDNIGHT BLUE looking color from Behr. He started painting it on the walls and I came home from work and saw it. I then made him mix it with white, thus the smurf color! But! It's waaay better than midnight blue if you ask me! But now, it's much better than both!

AND while I was painting the smurf room, Taylor was installing our new sink and faucet. Let me just tell you THAT was an ordeal! It literally took all weekend and about 6 different trips to Home Depot! What a pain! I love my hubby! He's such a trooper. I would have given up about an hour into it, but he kept at it, now we have a schmancy new stainless steel sink and faucet. I wish I would have taken a before of that ugly thing! It was "white" plastic. And I use the word WHITE very loosely. Between living through about 7 boys and LOTS of paintbrush rinsing (and no telling what else) that thing had seen much better (and brighter) days! That's for sure! And let me just tell you, it makes my kitchen look SOOOOOOOOOOO much BETTER!!!!

Annnd I was going to post a pic of the birthday cake I made my sister for her 25th birthday, but #1, when I load it on here, it doesn't want to turn the right way, and #2, the top icing work didn't quite survive the trip to Cagle's, but it still tasted good. And one of the girls that works there came in and told me it was really cute, so that made me feel better (and I gave her a piece of it to show my appreciation :-). Which reminds me, Cagle's is a non-chain restaurant the hubby and I hadn't ever had, so WOOHOO! Chalk another tick mark on the 101 list!

So that's pretty much it, I've been kinda busy at work the weather has been SUPER NICE (the high today and yesterday was 83)! This weekend should be pretty busy again. I'll be glad when I get caught up with all the stuff I need to get done and can actually take a weekend to relax! But that is all for now, now it's time to go night night! YAY for bed!!! TTFN! :)
