77 Degrees

It's January 16, 2009. It was 77 degrees today. This does not bode well for the 2009 summer months in the desert! But, to put things in perspective, I talked with my dad today and he mentioned it was about 10 degrees where he is in Virginia. Yeah, I'll take 77 degrees. Oh - and I wore shorts today.

Another Roommate

If you can believe it, I have another roommate! It's my good friend, Charley, who I've know for 11 years and visited in Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks. It's nice to actually have another person in the house. Of course, I was able to get the guest room flooring done and the decor is brown, blue and green. I'm quite impressed by my ability to put colors together! I have two Ansel Adams prints on the wall that mom picked up for me at a yard sale and a picture I took at Yellowstone of a bison walking down the middle of the road in Lamar Valley. I want to get another poster frame for one of the Ansel Adams, then I'm good to go. All that will be left for that room is a quick coat or two of semi-gloss white paint for the closet trim and shelf and purchase new closet doors. Of course, I still have to put in baseboards, but that will happen when I do the whole house.

The next room on the agenda is the craft room. I need to put a coat or two of primer over a dark maroon wall and then paint the rest. This one shouldn't take too long to paint. I need to make sure I have enough paint for it, but I'm pretty sure I bought enough.

That's all for now. I'll post pictures when I get the chance.
