Appreciations Year Three: Day 354

Seeing a car painted with pearlescent paint – first it looked teal, but then as it turned the corner, it looked purple! I’d never seen this before. Cool!

Continued progress on room #2, and now we’re almost done with prep work on my room…so much washing and spackling and sanding, oh my!

Another lovely dinner with David, whom I’d not seen in weeks. 🙂

Appreciations Year Three: Day 347

Toby all packed Aug 2015Toby, making the most of my recently unpacked bag. At least someone is getting some use out of it this weekend! 😛

Quick little side-job today: painting the baseboard trim in the upstairs bathroom… it’s only been waiting for paint for two years…

Little projects that are satisfying and distracting.

Listening to Cina & Katie reading Nimona out loud. So much cuteness!

Appreciations Year Three: Day 341

Improv Study Group with Amy & Alison. How wonderful to work in a beautiful, quiet space and have work time punctuated by hilarious bits. ❤

Room progress! Window framing installed, caulked, and primed, 2nd coat & touch-ups on everything that was dry enough. Getting closer!

Gross ceiling clean up 2 July 2015Gross ceiling clean up July 2015Learning that the ceiling tile support pieces that we thought we’d have to sand and paint were actually just covered with smoke residue from former tenants’ smoke. So kind of a Yay! and an Ewwwwwww! situation all at once. 😉

All the help we’ve had with this room project. Thanks, Mom & Dad, Mckenzie, Katie, and Cina. In a few more days we’ll be ready to start the next one. 😀

IMG_7331The amazing (if somewhat terrifying) Luna. Bwahahaha! Thanks for the photo, Cina!

More progress on the room – 2nd coat on walls and trim! I was gonna post pics, but guess what? It looks exactly the same as yesterday. Hahaha! 😉

Painting with Mckenzie – we make a good team. Just when I’m getting sick of painting trim, he’s ready to stop rolling the walls, so we just switch jobs. Perfect!

Movie at the Riverview with Katie & Cina and the Delaneys. Spending time with these beautiful people fills my heart right up. ❤

The most awesome Lemonade and Rock stand we passed on the way home. We didn’t stop, but have it on good authority that the lemonade was refreshing and cool. 😀

Dinner with Laura and the Toms and Katie and Cina. I’m so excited that Jeff & Laura are moving back to MN. Fun!!

Miraculously fast errands after painting tonight… still got home before 11. All the green lights on Lyndale!

Appreciations Year Three: Day 339

Window framing Green wall 1st coatContinued progress on the room! Window framing almost done, walls and trim with first coat of paint. It’s coming together!

Fabulous rehearsal and mini work session with Alison during which we learned a lot about Sean Cassidy fans, stolen buses, and Russian chefs…and nobody pulled a hammy. 😛

So much fun to see everyone at Rindo’s BBQ. Thanks for hosting, Nick!

Back home and appreciations complete in time to go to bed before midnight. 🙂
