Woah-oh, living on a prayer.  Not a bad song to have stuck in your head at all. Especially because we’ve made some serious strides in finishing up operation apartment do-over.

That is half of a finished apartment. Windows painted, patches where painters tape pulled off the paint fixed, furniture moved back (and vacuumed), new curtains courtesy of Momma (thank you again P.S. and by the way) and art work hung.  We stayed up late. I had a smidge too much wine, but it was all well worth it. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful living room that can actually be lived in. (This might actually get me out of bed.)

Now. As far as the other half of the apartment…. not so much… yet… but there really isn’t very much painting left. I’m feeling pretty good about all of this. We watched “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” last night (yes, again) because musicals and whores, what is better than that? They do look so happy being whores, singing, dancing, hanging out with Dolly Parton. I asked my mother if she actually wanted to ask a local singing, whoring individual who shall remain nameless if she enjoyed her work half as much… I think I might still have her number here somewhere from the last time she called me and got all white trash on my voice mail (I might have touched a nerve with the old blog here…)

Oh, in other news, two of my college roommates delivered baby girls yesterday! Beth had her second- Sara Kate and Nicole had her fourth- Vivian Lauren. Way to go with the birthin’ ladies, the last two weeks have been all about the new humans coming into the world, I couldn’t be happier for all of you guys!

Have a great holiday weekend- I’m retreating to the mountains again, it should be fun… ish. We’ll see.

Babs (Margaret) Says:

The room looks great, does this mean I can’t come next weekend and paint the window……

Have an incredible Friday, you only have two more to go through….then the BEACH

Mom Says:

Oh, Babs, Pleeeeze come and paint the window (and anything else) next weekend. Be my guest!!! There is much painting joy to go around! All that is left is the dining/”office”/kitchen area, (and the gosh-durn ugly desk that needs to be painted shiny-white). It is fun to paint and sing badly and get pickled. Very fun.

Jeff Says:

The Apartment is looking great. Love the green wall!

“Ask a local singing whore” would be an awesome name for a blog!

That’s funny you mention that movie as I was driving down Highway 9 in alpharetta today and there was a shop called “Best Little Hair House” which was TOTALLY obvious…. brave person to use that little pun.

Claudia Says:

It looks terrific! You and you fabulous mom did a great job. And take your time with the rest. You’ll get it done. Have a wonderful weekend at the mountains. See you soon!

Robin Says:

Good to see that you are on the mend. Got a nightmare of my own right now, so I apologize for dropping out for a while to try to make heads or tails of life. Trying to stay really really busy with plays and whatnot to get me by. Hoping to get some good ideas from your blog (guess I have to learn to knit, huh? haha)

Sending love,
Robin
