Seems I cant find the paint tray and drop clothes...so I have to leave and fight traffic, and go buy more. I allot myself a certain amount to spend per week and overall month ( every month I make a budget, and a list of things I want to do/buy..then make a spending schedule. I never spend more than I decided to for a week...unless there is some BIG emergency...and that money comes out of an emergency checking account.I dont use credit cards anymore. They are financially stupid in my opinion.)...I'm at the bottom end of this week's allotment, but have enough for these items. But I dont want to go out...thin gs like this make me not wanna return to the project...I will..I HAVE to..but I am even sourer about it than I was.<br /><br />I HATE painting walls...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13118190-111851452683081267?l=needafewmorelives.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>esclavanoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13118190.post-1118208727043253112005-06-08T00:10:00.000-05:002005-06-11T13:36:27.140-05:00nothing like being sick to seriously hold one back from doing what needs to be done...plus there was my sidetrip to the tattoo parlor. That consumed an afternoon.<br />I have to ...<br /><br />Get sunflowers planted<br />get family room painted...furniture delivered June 14th..I want it painted by Monday the 13th...save for the red, that has to wait until I see the sofa again..I dont recall exactly the shade...I sure hope it goes with the red in the drapes, or I'm fucked?<br />Ok...so...<br /><br />tape at least tomorrow( oh..I guess that would be today. Its late!...prime on thursday? (I also have pond guy and child care appointment on Thursday.) ( Gotta try to get nails done tomorrow AM! Another appointment ...allday, tomorrow, um today...sigh)<br />Friday, I need to get back outside...so plant sunflowers on Friday as well as raking and more bush removal...tape and apply paint over primer on Saturday on Saturday.<br />I absolutely HATE painting...walls..its boring, as hell to me..and I detest ladders.<br /><br />Somewhere in between...I need to finish the knobs, and I guess Sunday will be thorough house cleaning day. ( I fail to comprehend people who "reward" themselves for cleaning their house...um...what's the alternative...living in a dirty house? When I was at the ER the nurse was saying she cleaned allday one day and that she lazed around allday the next as a reward?!? What...life stopped? Must be nice...whatever. Haha...even funnier.."I'm going to clean my house and it will stay that way!" Does this mean they will never have to clean again. Do they mean maintenance is easier now? Why did they let the house go to the point that they couldnt maintain it. And yes, I have seen a therapist for my neat freak problem.)<br /><br />Also..within the next week..buy tomato plants as well as SOME flowers for Gods sakes! Also hanging planters for the front porch. I just am having a hard time deciding what flowers...gotta finish with the weeding issue...sigh...<br /><br />Oh..kids need more sand...and I promised a wading pool...why, I dont recall...gotta put this stuff on my Yahoo calender...only way I can look and see...put it on a calender...<br /><br /><br />I sure hope that the kidney stones will shut up for awhile...starting now?<br /><br />Next Monday, need to call the school and see what Becca needs to do...or what I need to do for Becca. ( Oh God...school clothes and supplies shopping soon!)<br /><br /><br />I still need work boots, wheel barrow, and a compost box....with mechanism for rotating the contents.<br /><br />Also...<br /><br />photo projects..cant describe that in detail, join fitness club...they have free childcare AND a salon at the site...and a bunch of other things, including 400 cardio machines...pool, etc..oh, actually an indoor water park...50 bucks a month. I cant say "no". I can fart around there for a couple of hours, use the equpiment...and the kids have a play center to go to. And we can visit everyday..if I actually had that kind of time.<br /><br />I will TRY to fit in sleeping somewhere...<br /><br />cat declawed..before furniture arrives...<br /><br /><br /><br />Edit...yeah...got that taping done just now...its the 11th....<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13118190-111820872704325311?l=needafewmorelives.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>esclavanoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13118190.post-1117645418478829522005-06-01T12:03:00.000-05:002005-06-01T12:04:15.683-05:00need to shovel leaves and debris from sandbox area under the girls slide.<br /><br /><br />Did I mention I rebulit a wall the other day?...I did.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13118190-111764541847882952?l=needafewmorelives.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>esclavanoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13118190.post-1117641158457420392005-06-01T10:49:00.000-05:002005-06-08T00:36:21.106-05:00to buy today<br /><br />Paint for family room.As well as tape and drop clothes yanno? 40-50 dollars<br />sand 10 dollars<br />weed whacker 40 dollars..I know, I'm going too cheap.<br />wheelbarrow 50 dollars?<br /><br />Work boots and wooden slat for Donnas bed...price of lumber these days ( over 200 dollars to buy the lumber for a compost box!) maybe a new frame would be cheaper...hers matress and box springs dont quite fit the frame...poor thing went "boom" the other night.<br /><br />The wood was cheap...still need wheel barrow..weed whacker was 50 bucks and works fine.

Family room, dining room, mine and the girls rooms...kitchen? Truth is, I dont really like the colors in any of the rooms...all the same actually( except for the dining room)...tan. Makes the place have a cave like feeling. I want to paint the family room red, blue and yellow...one color, on each wall...I guess red again on the partial wall at the entrance. The hallway could stand some repainting too.<br />Problem..I'm a painting nazi in Mom's eyes. I insist it be done correctly. Like, you know...tape the cieling...use drop clothes. Mom paints, the paint is everywhere.She thinks I'm being ridiculous. <br />Other problem..sigh..too many colors.<br /><br />Oh cabinet knobs...I have 16 of them to handpaint. Me and my great ideas. :)<br /><br /><br />Oh...I said that already...well, at least I didnt forget.<br />One of the points of this blog is, I forget what I want to do. It just stays a mental list, if I dont write it down. And for me...telling someone I'm going to do it, is the same as a rock solid commitment. If I say "will"...I will. Now if I say "try"....or "would like to"...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13118190-111721895607411392?l=needafewmorelives.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>esclavanoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13118190.post-1117069020655857662005-05-25T19:55:00.000-05:002005-05-25T19:57:00.656-05:00There are, also the other 28 knobs for the kitchen cabinets..they're metal and dont need any painting...just put on.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13118190-111706902065585766?l=needafewmorelives.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>esclavanoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13118190.post-1117068913243915292005-05-25T19:44:00.000-05:002005-05-28T00:56:12.600-05:00the garden is now my job. I tried to photograph it...really, that doesnt show its complete....weedom, correctly. Its a damn horror. I fought with 2 big, dead bushes....and won, removed some butt ugly ornamental grass...trimmed some other bushes and exposed a path I didnt know was there, weeded alot...its obnly a small fraction of what needs done...then there's the pond. 3 years being untouched has taken its toll.<br />( The kid hired, his Mom says he has too much going on. Hiring someone was never my idea anyway...people think I'm too fragile..I'm not.)<br />Point of the post..another project...a HUGE one...actually 2, with the pond.<br />Also...1 more added today. I have 16 knobs for my cabinets to paint. I saw some that were really expensive , that had flowers. I'm sort of an artist, so I decided to go ahead and get wood ones and paint flowers on them...<br /><br />This is a matter of spending .99 for each one, as opposed to 20 dollars.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13118190-111706891324391529?l=needafewmorelives.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>esclavanoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13118190.post-1116877302552931982005-05-23T14:39:00.000-05:002005-05-27T21:05:02.363-05:00Art tables...unfinished wood...painted and decoupaged<br /><br />transparent screen<br /><br />organize clothing---me and girls<br /><br /><br />make large carpet for family room<br /><br />4x6 prints of art for new and super-special frame.<br /><br /><br />photograph rhododendron...today!<br /><br />Edit:<br />Paint rooms<br />Paint organizer thingy<br />Paint knobs<br />finish changing kitchen knobs....<br />other stuff, I'm sure...laundry for certain. <br /><br /><br /><br />all I can think of at the moment...gotta go!<br /><br /><br />drop in the bucket......<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13118190-111687730255293198?l=needafewmorelives.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>esclavanoreply@blogger.com1
