My Staycation

I'm off work all week, but yet I've gotten up at 4am every day so far!

I've discovered the key to Dirk's heart is a hot bacon, egg and cheese sandwich at 4:30am. I got up yesterday to "surprise" him with breakfast (but he guessed when I got up when his alarm went off.) He liked it so much I did it today too. And I'll admit I'm a sucker for his little grin when I hand him two warm sandwiches wrapped up in foil. HE HAS RUINED ME.

**Disclaimer** This does not mean I will become a morning person, this does not mean I will ever think any time before 8am is a decent hour to wake up. Dark = Sleep.

The main project this week is PAINTING THE KITCHEN. No more teal! Here are a few before shots to wet your appetite.


Isn't it gross? The whole thing is ugly teal. Ugly. Yesterday I put on two coats of white primer and with six light bulbs that was bright enough to burn out my retinas. But now it is a sort of gold, I've got the first coat on and I'm not really excited about it, but Dirk pointed out that I've hated every color I painted in the house until after it dries. So we'll see.

Other things I wish to accomplish:
-Hemming a new pair of pants
-Finishing "Little Women" WHY have I never read this book before? It's great.
-Finish a logo
-Maybe finish painting my bedroom windows (two years later) That depends on how sick I am of painting.

Now I need to go get to work. I'll post after pics later.

Dark=Sleep. You had better not move up north because it gets light here in the summer around 4:00am and in the winter it doesn't get light until 8:00 or later. :)
I'm excited to see the new paint colors!

I didn't think that I liked yellow, but that looks awesome!
