Spontaneous, much?

Sorry I've been MIA. I really don't have anything interesting to share with the world these days. My life has become very, very mundane. And completely bogged down with every day stuff that isn't very exciting. Some day my life will change and I'll cute little baby pics to share with everyone (unless I adopt a toddler from Africa) but that day hasn't come yet, so I continue to be boring and have nothing noteworthy to share.

But here is what 's going on in my life. Hubs was out of town for two weeks. First week I got really bored, but I decided to sit on the couch instead of doing anything of interest. Second week., he was actually gone for the entire week so I got a wild hair that I should paint the trim in my guest bathroom. No biggie right? Wrong. While the trim wasn't hard work, it also meant that I couldn't just leave the wallpaper in there. I mean, it's from the 70s for pete's sake. That cannot stand! So, I ended up priming over the wallpaper. Now, there are several schools of thought on whether to paint over wallpaper or take it down. After a horrible take down process in my master bath (and walls that I'm not happy with), I decided to paint over it. I wish I had thought about writing this blog post before because I totally would have taken more pictures. You'll just have to visualize in your brains. Be creative! You can do it!

So, it took three coats of Kilz to cover up the wallpaper. And what does it look like now? White walls with painters tape blocking off the trim and other important parts of the wall/fixtures. Why? Because the hubs and I haven't found time to get to the store to pick out a color that we both like. Yeah, I know. Next time I feel like being spontaneous, I should probably schedule some time with my husband to evaluate the reasonableness of my idea and to figure out what freaking color we're going to paint the bathroom. He wants something modern, I want a light green. Seems modern to me?

So, the next few days I plan to go through several House Beautiful magazines that I have and hopefully coming to a consensus on what is both modern and green. :)

Happy house owning you guys. Maybe be less spontaneous than me and plan it out just a little bit.

OH! And I have until August 18 to get my house cleaned, finish this bathroom, and hopefully fix the master bathroom. Plenty of time, right?

Only in spontaneity can we be who we truly are. John McLaughlin
