FINALLY!!

I have picked a colour...and I bought it right away so I couldn't change my mind!! It's for sure going in my dining room to cover up the ugly purple wall. And I'm not sure if I want it down the hall and in the entry way, where there is more purple. I'll start on the DR and see what happens from there! Russ is going to freak! The paint guy actually gave a little disclaimer: "this is going to look crazy bright when it's wet but will darken as it dries." Like I care!! I want bright!! And the lady waiting for her paint next to me told me I was brave, and you might as well go for it because you only live once! It is very bright, but I picked a soft yellow/cream for the rest of the walls and a nice golden yellow for my kitchen. Very Kara!!

And I've also been pricing out laminate flooring. I even went so far as to bring home a sample today! Yikes! It will be expensive, mostly because I want someone to install it for me...get it right the first time eh!? But I picked the cheapest one I could find that I actually liked! If I had all the money in the world, it would be no problem: bamboo all the way. But I don't have all the money in the world. I only have one little (big for me) paycheque from Dr. R that is being put towards this little project. I can't stand my carpet anymore, and I figure I'll do the whole main floor and then I'll be happy! Yippee!

I can't wait to see what all my art looks like on this bright green wall!

Lucas is now registered in playschool...Russ went last night. And I get to be "Class Coordinator" whatever that means. And I'm thinking about going to the soccer registration tonight, but I might wait until Russ and I can discuss it a little more. I had to write 13 cheques for Playschool. THIRTEEN!! There's a volunteer deposit, and registration fees, and all the months have their own cheque, and on and on. Come on people...it's only playschool! But Lucas is totally looking forward to it. He was talking about it all day today! It's super cute!

I am so busy with scrapbooking lately, but as per usual, none of it is just for me! I am slowly hacking away at my Sept. to do list, but there still seems to be a lot left. Dang it. I am still waiting for my Elsie art journal...am also very excited about this. About equally excited as about my new paint (yay!!) I've been working on a canvas this week, for me, that's bright green and teal and will have a big monster on it! I'm still trying to figure out what the monster is going to look like, but when I'm finished I'll post pics here! My DR table and my scrap space are messy, but I have actually been working as opposed to before when they were just dumping grounds for junk and more junk. I haven't been able to print photos lately, so I guess I wouldn't be scrapbooking for myself even if I had the time. Oh well. I always seem to get more done in the fall and winter, so there's plenty of time to "catch up".

P.S. Kings of Leon's Sex is on Fire is a killer song! I am loving so much of the new music that is coming out! But buying music is just not on my budget list right now! Anybody got any suggestions on some good "free" music sites??

I guess that's all...for now!
