Hi Diane!!!!
  Well as far as how the floor painting went - it didn't! I guess the flu took more out of me than I thought because I started to move stuff around and suddenly was out of steam. I decided to rest a little and laid down and was out for 6 hours. So I am doing it in steps. The floors are wood but in bad enough shape that they are not worth refinishing - and they look chaming in kind of a shabby chic/ cottage style when painted.
   I vacuumed the floor - and the area rugs this morning (I have to work today at 3 p.m.)and plan to mop it tomorrow after work. I work 10 hours plus 1&1/2 hours commute on Thursday so probably won't get a lot done that day - and I clean for a family Friday morning. Friday p.m. I will move stuff to one side of the room, and paint Sunday or maybe Saturday after I get off work.
   The kitties have to go in the basement so I don't have little paw prints all over - well - except for Boo who gets freaked out at the basement and was almost traumatized the one time I put him down there - he'll go in the downstairs bathroom. So I also have to put food and water and litter boxes both places before I start.
   Yes - I will really be relieved and feeling good when I finally get this done!!! Because then I can get the bookcases put up and all my books moved upstairs and get the computer room rearranged and and and.............Nothing is ever simple, is it?  LOL
    Hang in there - you will paint when it is time to paint - the money and the time will appear.
LWL,
Mindy
 
P.S. I find I tend to figure out my scheduling to get specific tasks accomplished here at the computer as I reply to jfc emails. One reason I think I flounder when I am not being active on this list is that I don't have the planning out plus accountability that our normal back and forth conversations provide! Does that make sense to you? LOL
 

Hi Mindy -

How did it go on the floor painting? Are you painting wood floors? Did you get it done? It is always good to finish up something you've started - such a feeling of accomplishment.

I need to get motivated to do some interior wall painting, but since I don't have the paint I've been using the money excuse. I know I'll find the money to buy the paint when I'm ready to do the job. Soon, maybe...

Diane
