Suddenly I'm thinking it's a shame Shammrog doesn't post in this thread, does he read it? I guess we will find out.

Did someone around here say "head?"...

Oh Shammrog, what would I do without you? You do not disappoint.

DinK - Congrats! Road trip to Boston?

Probably not in the car. During girls weekend in Chicago last November, we talked about repeating in 2009 and Boston was mentioned. If we do it, I'll be asking for suggestions for things to do and places to eat.

Ceiling is done. We are now going to work on the walls.

Toasted english muffin w/ peanut butter rocked for breakfast today.

I hope the advice I was able to offer on your "problem" got you started on the way to a solution.

Hint to others: don't try to put latex paint over oil based paint. It blisters. :o

Yes, your advice worked. Thank you for answering your phone and helping.

I called Home Depot and they told me Sherwin Williams makes an oil based paint. Went to Sherwin Williams and they sold me 2 gallons of paint the same color as I was using. The living room is half done. We are in a rhythm, K68 is doing a wall then I go behind him and do the parts at the top and bottom. We should be done within a few hours. The previous walls we did did not have an oil based paint, thus thought I was okay. Oh well. Thank God it was an easy, though costly fix. The nice think is that I got a discount on the paints. Oh, and am wearing my Duke football shirt which may helped in that department. Guess it does pay to love Duke and live in Durham. ;)

Was primer involved? Does it make a difference?

When Tilly called this afternoon asking if I knew why her paint was blistering/bubbling, I had no idea, but I asked my friends whom I was having lunch with and they did! Sort of like asking the OT (or CrazieTalk) board folks for advice - somebody here knows the right answer! Can't put larex over oil based paint. They did say that using the right primer first might solve the problem, so ask your paint store for advice, and try a small sample spot FIRST if you have any doubts! I take it that the new apartment will be painted soon?

I'm sure it will be once the current folks move out. I get to have an accent wall painted, as long as I provide the paint. Have to figure out furniture placement, etc, then see if I want to do it and then what color. Ah, stuff to be decided later on.

The living room is done!! I don't even have the energy for a woo hoo. Tomorrow, I will be putting the room back together and decorating. Next up, the dining room. That is much smaller thus will be easier to do.

Kitties were locked up all day and were not happy about it. Though they have run of the house again, I think they are back in the bedroom.

Sue, no primer was involved as the walls were already white.

Denver's professional basketball team should get a sponsorship from Nestle or somebody and rename themselves the Nougats.

And Chris Andersen's tattoos are quite interesting to look at in HD.

Also, I prepared some delicious sliders today. I will be having sliders for approximately the next four to six meals.

Anybody got any recommendations for good breakfast slider recipes?

I bought "Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga" on Wii the other day, but I'm scared to start playing it, because I figure it will captivate me for several days.

So I'll just try to hold off on that for a little longer.

I may or may not make it to church in the morning.

Walter looks awfully snuggly and cute on the couch right now.

I'll probably let him sleep with me tonight, since I got nice new A/C today. And because he's sweet.

This makes ten.
