I can't keep up!!!!

[DianaB]

I can't believe all the posts that we've been having!! I think it's great but I've been so busy that I haven't been able to keep up with reading all the posts!!!

I'm still painting and while I'm trying to get that accomplished with laundry, cooking, cleaning babysitting Karlie, all trying to take place at the same time, I'm falling sadly behind!! I promise that I'll catch up soon..................as soon as I get these walls painted!!! (Also, the walls are being painted a real, real dark red and it's taking 4-5 coats to get it covered!! UGH!! But it's looking beautiful!!!) Love ya'll!!!!!!

Oh I bet your walls are looking beautiful! Post pictures when your finished with your painting. We love you too

Hi Diana

take some photos when your finished.. mwahs to you!

[Blueyes]

I kinda feel that way too, but I thought it was just because I was gone for a week

Our little family here is growing, and that's a wonderful thing!!! You'll get caught up soon Diana. You have just had a lot of irons in the fire lately

Red walls.... I knew you were a wild woman

Diana, I can't wait to see your red walls!!! I would love to do something like that in my house - but alas, my hubby would probably faint if I suggested we paint some walls RED! LOL!!!

[Blueyes]

I have some brick red walls! Also green and khaki. Red is translucent and it takes tons of paint to make it look even. But it's so striking when it's done!

I'm having a hard time keeping up too. Yesterday when I got here there were 139 new posts, today...over 140. WOW!!! I'm so glad it's picking up again. I just have to get here more often. I've been trying to curb my computer addiction a little bit, but I'm feeling lost when I'm not here more.

I also haven't been on a lot. I still have the old, slow computer. I am glad to see new members. Welcome!!!

I miss you all when I am not on here. You are dear, dear friends.

What are you painting, Diana? Which rooms? I also have red walls. I love color!

I'm 405 posts behind.

I'm way behind, too. We've been busy with so many things lately. Cleaning to get the house ready to put on the market, taking care of the pets, working on my car, things for church. Just so much to do and I get on here to find 120 or more new posts. It's wonderful that things have picked up so, but I can't keep up, and feel that I'm missing some things.

Diana, we would like pics when you are ready to post them. One house we lived in had burgandy below the wainscoat in the dining room. That's as close to red walls as we've ever gotten.

I haven't taken pics of the car yet. It's been raining so that we havent' gotten the tire fixed, yet. Where it's parked, we can't get the lug nuts off without backing it out, so we decided to go ahead and change out the radiator, and now we need a new transmission cooling line which connects to the radiator. Ordered it on Saturday. So it will be a few more days before the car is drivable again.

The color I picked is called Redwood. It's so, so dark. I'm only painting one side of the living room but I have a couple of doors to go around. I'm a real profectionist when it comes to painting so that's part of the reason that it takes me so long, that and I just have so much going on that I can't work on it much.

I also have a small wall that I'm going to sponge paint with three colors, a yellowish light brown, green, and the red. I have some lamps that I painted like that a few years ago and I just love them so I'm going to do it on the walls. I will post pictures when I get done!!

Oh my gosh!!! Now you quit house cleaning and get caught up here.....LOL

[Janet]

Diana....please just get it done...I'm so anxious to see the pictures. I just know it's going to be beautiful.

[DianaB]

I'm trying, Janet. I got some done yesterday, but then I had to go and get Daya at school because she was sick and the school couldn't get a hold of Amy. Then my car quit and wouldn't start again when I stopped to see if Amy was at home (she was out riding the 4-wheeler with Karlie) so I ended up taking her car to town to get Daya. After I got back Glen had my car going again but he wanted me to drive it around so I went to town to pick up a sack that Amy had left at Dollar General. When I finally got back home I only had about an hour to paint because I had somewhere else to go. This is how my days have been and why my painting isn't going very quickly!!!!! It's very fustrating!!!!

[Janet]

Wow....no wonder you're not done yet. It wore me out just reading your post. Think I'll go take a nap....lol
