The final coat of paint went on the walls late last week!  This means I can finally get down there to get some work done.  The timing was good though, it allowed me to get the "outside" work on the dresser done and now I'm ready for the "inside" work. 

The basement is looking very nice (see pictures on my Home page) but it still needs a lot of work.  We need to put the flooring in, get new lighting, window treatments and new furniture. But as I said, I'm holding out for the free tv deal! =)  I also want to put wallpaper up on just one wall.. nothing crazy but enough to inspire me, so I'm thinking something very primitive.  When I took the girls to Picton for our "girls" trip last summer, I came across some very nice prim wallpaper at The Shining Star.  I may have to take another trip out there!

I talked to my friend Judy this morning, just a quick call today.. only one hour. =)  Usually we're closer to two! We only talk every few months, so there is a lot to catch up on!  We talked about our Open House that will happen this fall. Once in October and once in November.  Got our plans together and we need to get together at least once prior (now there's a good time waiting to happen!)  You know when you laugh so much and so hard, that it feels like you've worked out? Well, that's how it is with us! =)

Speaking of working out =( I will start going to the gym next week.. My membership is only for 4 months because I don't like working out in the winter. I'm opposite everyone!  Who wants to leave work at 5pm, get into a freezing car, drive to the gym, sweat for an hour, leave in the freezing cold darkness? No thanks.  I rather arrive when it's sunny and leave while it's still sunny!  Winter for me means getting home, slipping into my jammies, have some comfort food and of course vino and getting my brushes out!!  Which of course.. adds up.. which explains why I need to work out in the summer. =)

Enjoy the week!
