So, yeah…
We had great plans to get tons done on the house over the long weekend. My project list runs from the top to the bottom of the freezer door where it’s magneted. I was going to make huge progress on that. You already know where this is going since you see that I wrote “had” in the first sentence and “was” in the third. Yeah. We went to parties.
Ok, we did get the living room painted. (Benjamin-Moore, “Dried Parsley.” It looks awesome and makes the room brighter by a magnitude of the sun.) B was going to do that by herself while I worked on my own projects but the day was winding down when I went to check on her, only to find her still cutting in with her first coat of primer. So I jumped on her bandwagon and we got that finished. And I finally put the chair rail up in the office/breakfast nook. That’s it. I cut the pieces and nailed them to the walls. Ok, I filled the holes. Then, parties.
Oh and Dixie hates fireworks. And she told them so. A. Lot. Also the cat has a weird love for, and refuses to be dissuaded from sleeping on, plastic tarp covered couch. This renders him wet, sticky, and with full-body bed-head. The cat is a hit with the ladies.

How cute are your furbabies!?
Our pup was not pleased with the fireworks either. Oddly, she reacted as if someone were invaded our home..I expected fear.
The living room color sounds fabulous, do we get pictures?

I didn’t get much done this past weekend either- I took 2 days “off” physical labor of any kind-even gardening! Went shopping and finished Augusten Burroughs new book- I love his books.
My Dad’s border collies are terrified of fireworks so he had a rough weekend with that. Can’t wait to see the LR paint color too.
