Paint, Paint, and more Paint

This weekend was suppose to be preparing myself for FINALS, but when I talked to my sister on Saturday morning I made the comment that I was bored, so she said then you can come home and help me paint and take care of Charlie. I told her I would think about it, but I knew in my head that I was going to pack my stuff up and head home. My mom was in the background telling Nicki that I don't have to come home if I didn't want too...and Nicki's response was she's bored, she can come home and help! So I got in the car to drive 2 hours home and once I finally made it, I walked into my mom's house expecting Char to bark and run up to me, well that didn't happen. In fact, I opened to door and was calling for him to come see me, but nothing happened. As my heart sunk, my mom said Nicki took him to her house....so I jumped back in the car and headed to Nicki's house. When I got there I found him laying on the couch taking a nap with Nicki. But when he saw me, he jumped down and came to see me! Thank god or I would have been so upset. It was then time to let the painting begin...

Nicki had started in the kitchen and actually got alot done on Friday night! We ran to get some more paint supplies and lunch before we started. But when we got back it was time to get to it! We finished the kitchen around 9 pm or so and started in on the dining room and living room. The color of the kitchen is articoke(green)and the dining and living room is a brownish color...I forgot the technical name. At about 11:30 pm we stopped painting so I could study a little for my finals. I studied until 1 am, then jumped in the shower and fell asleep right when I laid my head on the pillow.

Sunday morning I had a really hard time getting up, I had to get up at 8 to take Char out, but I laid back down and didn't get back up until 10 am because Nicki was ready to start painting again. I have to admit, I didn't paint nearly as much on Sunday as I did on Saturday. I did a lot of trim painting and taping. My mom helped with trimming and taking down the curtains~ which were a pain in the butt. Nicki and Abby really did a fantastic job of painting the rooms! And, we met Nicki's deadline, she wanted all the rooms painted by Sunday night! By the time I left at 4 pm to head back to school everything was painted and Nicki was just touching up some spots! I can't wait to see the finished product with out the blue tape! Job well done girls!!!
