apropos of nothing

So far my plan of not planning things is working out pretty well. I have known for a while that I wanted to paint Cory's studio for him as a surprise, but I decided I would not make any definite plans to do so in the near future, just in case. This morning when I woke up I got in my car and drove to lowe's where I bought a can of red paint and came home to get started.

I am very pleased that I made it happen, but I had no idea that painting red walls would be such a huge pain in the neck! I used the entire gallon and painted two coats and I still need at least another two coats to make it look finished. OH. WELL. He was still surprised and excited, and that was the whole point.

We are watching the Thirteenth Warrior now, and it is making me want to drink mead out of a horn.

Things I am looking forward to in the near future:

• getting breakfast at house of pies in the morning
• watching our little niece sing in her Christmas pageant (a planned thing for Friday that didn't happen)

goodnight!
