Hallway of Death....accomplished!

Weekend project: one ginormous hallway. After our trimming extravaganza we had on Friday, Saturday morning brought very little enthusiasm for the days work ahead. It was slow moving but once we got rolling, literally, it went pretty fast. We had the first coat on by 2! What a day. I really didn't want to even try to put a second coat on. It was a workout, a test of marriage (LOL), and a test of skill. We had to run out and do some errands. After grabbing a late lunch and eating it at my parents house since we had to take Gabby out, we headed to our current 2nd home, Home Depot. Let me tell you what. I looked horrible. I didn't even care. My hair was all up in shambles. I looked like Sarah Jessica Parker from the Oscars. I had a ratty old Nationwide shirt on from 3 years ago, when we use to get them for free. I had a pair of old, holey jeans on, no make up and a giant crater of a zit that crash landed on my face during the night. I was a mess. Or course, I went to give the man at the counter our paint selections. I gave him the card and looked up. WHAT?! Who are you? Where did you come from? Can I take you home in my pocket?! Honesty. We have had the same paint guy every time we went in. Not this time. I looked up from the counter and this dark haired, muscular, blue eyed beauty was staring at me. I think my mouth literally fell open. He had red plaid shirt on and his sleeves were rolled up to his beautifully tanned elbows. He then asked me how many gallons of each I wanted. I had to take a moment and compose my self in order to speak. My voice, traitor, cracked. It was horrible. I could tell my cheeks were red and the back of my neck was about to sweat. He told me it would be about 15 minutes then flashed this amazing, dazzling, wide smile. My knees buckled and I had to lean against the cart. I took a deep breath and started walking down the isle. I did inform Michael of what just happened and he laughed uncontrollably. I kept stealing glances over as the probably only 19 year old boy was working. After we got everything we needed we headed back up to get our paint. As we were picking it up, I noticed my paint color on his apron. My own personal mark left on him. Michael then snapped me back to reality. As we were checking out the lady at the register said "Being that incredibally good looking cannot be right. You should see the girls flock over there." I told her "I can only imagine." On the way home Michael did admit that the boy looked like he belonged in an Abercrombie catalog or a Calvin Klein commercial.

Here are some photos of Saturdays work:

He got way up there!

In other news little Miss Zoey got a hair cut! The pooch needed one so bad! She looks like a completely different pup!

We had a full day and finally crashed around 9! What a day, but we did get a lot done!

Today, oh today. It didn't help that we lost an hour of sleep. Which means, of course, we woke up late. 10 to be exact. Not good, not good. After running a few errands and getting the boy fed, we started working away. It went a lot quicker today because we were just putting the 2nd coat one. A few hours later, it was done. Really?! It can't be! Yes! It's done. This had to be one of the biggest painting challenges for us! It is now done and we are relaxing this evening. We deserve it! Sadly, we worked so hard, we didn't get a weekend! Tomorrow is the start of another work week. I wish I could be in Texas! Haha. But the weather should be fantastic this week and bathroom #1 is getting started! Here are some photos of the now, finished hallway!
