I am so sore! Yesterday we got to the house about noon, or just before, and we decided it was all painting, all day. Sure sounds easy, till you have to do it. My brother in law and sister in law both came down to help us so the four of set to it. We painted trim upstairs, down the staircase, through the front hall and then the living room and dining room. We painted all the upstairs hall walls, main hall and living room and dining room! Too much work. I have such a pain between my shoulder blades. We painted for 8 hours, with four people painting, amazing how much work painting is. But I am so happy. The colour I choose are beautiful. The hall ways are one tone lighter then the living room and dining room and with the new crown moulding and all the trims painted brilliant white the colours just shine so well. It is beautiful even if I was exhausted. I could barely get up to go to work today. I need my day job almost as a rest from my weekends! A rare treat though after working we took our great helpers out for dinner around 8 to a middle eastern buffet restaurant with belly dancers for entertainment. I gorged on hummus, baba ganoush, dolmades, salads, tabbouleh, great rices. They had whole fish grilled, lamb, chicken, sausages, it went on and on. And great mounds of hot fresh bread. I was in heaven. This place is only 10 minutes from our new house; oh it is going to be dangerous living so close!
