I think my scale is broken. 180.8...again, after eating McDonald's, a nasty breakfast and KFC for dinner. You're supposed to gain during these 2 days. Oh well, as long as I start losing in the next few days I'll be ok.
Now for news on the home. We signed the P & S last night. While we were there I measured windows and rooms and floors. Fortunately we don't need a whole ton of stuff. That's a very good thing because today I called for home inspectors. OMG!! $300 for you to walk around the house I'm in love with and tell me every little thing that is wrong with it. Why don't you just pull my toe nails off? It's torture I tell you!! I'm not sure I can be there for it. Gregg may have to do it alone. Except then I'll be texting him every five minutes to find out how it's going so I may as well just go.
But we've made some decisions. The living room is already a tan. We're leaving it tan. Except one wall has a small crack that needs to be repaired. Instead of trying to match the paint, we've decided to make it an accent wall. So now we can't decide if we want to go with a richer brown or a deep berry red. The couch, love seat and chair are a light brown, the tables and entertainment center will be black. I'm hoping for berry curtains that I fell in love with. So the dilema. Will a brown accent wall be too much brown? Does a red accent wall limit us too much?
The kids room is all set. Our bedroom is easy. We're painting it grey. I like a color called Thunder Cloud. Gregg won't care. Grey is grey to him. I just need to find curtains for our room. The bathroom needs to be tiled. Gregg's going to do that. So then it's just curtains for the bathroom and kitchen and we're done. Kind of. We need a computer desk, and end tables, and a new medicine cabinet. But those things are going to have to wait.
Just talking about this has made me very tired. I need a nap.

Awww...it's so exciting though! I like the name "Thunder Cloud"
I like the idea of Thunder Cloud too actually... I may have to use this in the future.
Don't worry about the house being a little bare at first. Part of the fun is decorating, but I find so much fun in bargain shopping over time! Get the curtains because they are a *must* but those other things can be bought over time. :)
