1. I got my new phone and I have no idea how I survived without it, nothing short of awesomeness!
2. I still haven't primed crap in the foyer, this project won't be complete for quite some time. #not motivated.
3. This semester has been easy peasy so far, Brent is jealous.
4. I'm obsessed with pinterest.
5. I ordered my new dishes I've been eyeing for some time last week. Yay! Crate and Barrel was running a free shipping promotion, I ended up saving about $17 because of it. Sweeeet. I'm excited to eat warm food again, our current plates suck all the heat out of your food before you are done eating.
6. I dyed my hair back to a dark reddish brown. For now...bwahahaha.
7. February starts this week, eeek to being another year old.

Yay, my new-to-me phone is finally at the post office today which means I could get it tomorrow. We both have smart phones but the ones we have a realllly old and mine is starting to act funny and as technology advances it starts to suck more and more. To the old ebayer we went and bought a used htc eris for my upgrade to cell phone civilization, it has a droid operating system (currently I have a windows based phone) and can do the whole pinch and zoom thing (something I always forget my phone does not have.)

I've worked a little on the foyer since my last post, I stained and polyed the bannister hand rail part of the stairs. It has two coats on it now and needs a third as I just lightly sanded it for a smoother finish. Holy crap the poly product I'm using STINKS, gives me a headache and just stinks for days. Soooo...I haven't put on the final coat yet, procrastination. Nor have I primed a thing, procratination.

My semester started this week. Although I have a major case of senioritis this semester appears to be quite easy, not much busy work, not much extra reading other than my psychology class. I am also taking a philosophy logic and reasoning class this semester. I just remind myself that in a few months I'll have a  nice long summer break and I will be able to simply enjoy the summer before starting back again.

Booooooo. I'm done removing all the wallpaper that I am going to take down. 5 layers on some parts of the foyer and only one layer on the new drywalled parts but...the previous owners didn't prime the drywall first, so the wallpaper is pulling the drywall paper with it. So, I'm done removing wallpaper since if I remove anymore I'll have to skim coat the entire wall I was working on. Next step, skim part of the wall, patch holes, sand, prime, stain bannister, paint walls and woodwork, paint new light fixture (from the homestore) and decide if I want to use the sconce I also bought from the homestore.

At some point we'll install new blinds, curtains and frames. I been eyeing some stuff on pinterest..
