Painting the Living Room

IN THE SUN

JON DOES THE DETAIL

Getting into the Christmas Spirit!!

Hello...testing...is there anyone out there??

We've been crazy busy painting, working, being sick (it's been a bad year), and getting ready for a much needed break.  Here are some photos of what else has been keeping us busy.

OUR CHRISTMAS TREE!

Deer crossing right in front of our car on our way to Pike National Forest

Mission Accomplished!

Chino & Kitty love to hang out under the tree and drink kitty gin (pine tree water).

The tree is up and notice...

WE FINALLY PAINTED THE LIVING ROOM!

The tree in all its glory.

Even though we're heading back to Wisconsin for some time with our families, we have to go on our annual hike in the forest to find our tree.  Unfortunately, I wore the worst boots and ended up laying in the snow for most of the morning.

Next step: DINING ROOM...

Sick, sick, sick... and an awesome headboard!

Since I was sick all weekend, including being in bed all day Thursday and Friday, I have made little progress on the painting.  I'm working on a list to motivate us to get some real progress done before we leave for our Christmas trip to Wisconsin. 

In the meantime, here's a headboard that I'm dying to add to my bedroom!  I need to get some color going so Jon will quit asking why everything is white :)

Oh, and thanks to Haley for the new header!! Still working out some other tweaks to the format.

Hope we finally make these this weekend!

Weekend Schedule- Updated

We have a super busy weekend ahead, so much so that I am considering drinking some pop tonight to get an extra burst of energy.

Friday night:

1) Pizza??  Test Wooglin's? Perhaps Il Vicino? (Seems like a great idea) Luigi's on South Tejon-- after driving by this a million times since we moved, we thought it would be a good idea to check it out. Short wait, great table by the fireplace, yummy pizza and unlimited Dr. Pepper...yes!!

2) Clean up the million of piles around the house (ok, probably just bedroom, bathroom, closet-room) FAIL

3) Wear pajamas DONE

Saturday:

1) Paint, paint, paint (no slacking this weekend!)  Cleaned up tons of crap throughout the house, now it seems like we really live there!

2) Have friends over for grilled meat  Snow ruined these plans.

3) Use Bristol Brewery gift certificate (been keeping since 12/08 for a special occasion) Big check mark...met Benny, A&J there for a quick game of shuffleboard (I don't know if it's called that if it's on a table??) and a beer before the RD festivities.

4) ROLLER DERBY at the City Auditorium with Jon, Benny, Eddie, A&J Fun, but not a crazy as last time!

Sunday:

1) Jon's hitting the slopes at A-Basin Lots of snow, tested A-Basin, but ended up at Keysone for a BIG fall and $1 tacos.

2) Girls over for champagne & pastries brunch at the house?? (no dining table yet!!) change of plans, pj's, and online TV

3) Make Carmel Apples FAIL-  need to accomplish this week before Jon eats all the carmels!!

4) Relax & watch Project Runway online Awww, yeah...

Whew...

What are your plans for the weekend?

Hopefully, some fun updates Monday :)
