Painting again!

I set aside this fourth of July weekend as time to paint the living room. I've had paint samples taped to my walls for over six months and I've finally chosen a green called Dusted Bronze. It's a shade darker than my bedroom and the same color I am to paint the kitchen sometime soon.

Friday I started clearing the outdated shelves and junk off my walls. I'm keeping the Alabama prints but not much of anything else. I've ordered some black floating shelves either for the living room or the kitchen (or both).

I took a break in the afternoon to go see WALL-E with the kids and grands. About fifteen minutes into the movie Sarah complained that her back hurt and she couldn't move. I helped her to the lobby and called her grandfather to come take her to the emergency room while I stayed with Laura and the boys.

I'm not really sure what the movie was about. I couldn't pay attention . I just wished it would hurry up and get over so I could go and tend to Sarah. I met her at the hospital and waited for a doctor to see her. He thought she just had a muscle spasm or something. Gave her some happy shots and prescriptions for happy pills and sent us on our way. Later we laughed that it might have been caused by the back bend she did at the house that morning to prove to Laura she could. No more back bends!

Saturday I got serious with the painting and Sunday I almost finished.



It sure is much brighter than that "otter tail" brown I had in here. The carpet looks dirtier and I had to lower the wattage of the bulbs in the lamps.
