I hate yellow now

Ok, not really but I just got done with the last coat of the primer/oops that color is horrid, color. It really looks pretty terrible in there. I am getting a lighter color tomorrow and hopefully it will tone it down. Wish me luck!

New Bible

A few weeks ago, I joined an awesome book trading website called http://www.paperbackswap.com/. It is awesome! You post books that you have that you don't want anymore. Then you look at books that other people have posted. When you find something, your order it, and they send it to you. Easy as that. When someone wants one of your books, you send it to them. You pay to ship to ship your books, but you don't pay anything to have books shipped to you. Does that make sense? There is no money exchanged. I love it.

Anyhoo. I have been looking for a new Bible. I found the NIV Women's Devotional Bible on there and I ordered. I got a message from the lady who posted it saying that she had written a couple verses in the front cover in pen, and asked me if I still wanted it. I told her that it was fine, and that I still wanted it.

So, it came today. I opened the cover and written inside was my favorite verse. One that really helps me thru hard times. I had to email her and tell her how happy I was to open the Bible, and see it in there. :)

Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything, by prayer and
petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
Philippians 6:4

Trent's new do!

Here are a picture of our bathroom, and the broken light fixture. If you get the urge to vomit, I totally understand.....

Getting better

Ok, well. It looks better today after drying all night. I think it might be ok once we get the coats evened out. I will take pics when I am finished.

Bananas anyone?

Yesterday marked our 3 year anniversary of signing the papers on our house, (it was also Jason's b-day). We have been in this house for 3 years. And, for 3 years, I have HATED our hall bathroom. I don't even like being in there. We were in a hurry to move in, and didn't want to spend alot of money, and the previous owners had freshly painted the bathroom light blue. So we weren't in a hurry to paint it, we just wanted to move in and get settled. Well, that was 3 years ago. It also has the 1970s, brass, ugly, hanging light fixtures in there. I hate them, but we never did anything about them. One reason was, we were working on paying off all of our debt, so we kind of let our house go. Now that we are debt free (woo woo) we have a little extra money to work on our house.

The past few weeks we have been discussing living room/entry way/ hallway colors. We are being picky about it because we only want to do it once. But last night, while in the bathroom, I decided that it needed to be yellow, to go along with the duck decor we have in there. I went and got some sample cards and we picked out the color. I picked a little brighter yellow because there are no windows in there, and it always seems dull to me. Yes, well, we went to Home Depot and got all of the painting supplies. Jason had yard work to do, and I tackled the bathroom on my own. I taped off the trim and all of that fun stuff and started the painting.

First of all....neither of us even thought about getting a primer. Mostly because the blue is really really light. Well, painting yellow over blue, you get.....yellow with green tint. Fun stuff. Let me tell you. So, I get the first coat on, and start of the second coat, and all of a sudden, I start smelling banana. LOL Seriously, I did. It was the weirdest thing. But yes. It's REALLY yellow. We are letting it dry compleletly before we make any decicions about it. But I decided, if all else fails, I can toss the duck decor and get Spongebob stuff. Yes that is the color yellow it is.
