are the devil I tell you!!!!! I have been working on the bathroom for a few hours now and under my fingernails are hurting from picking at the wall paper. I finally found the spackle thingamado and have started tearing into the wallpaper and probably some of the wall too ;) I was in need of some inspiration this morning to get started so I went and picked out the new accessories for the bathroom to give me some motivation to finish quickly and not drag this out over several weeks. The colors are chocolate brown, tanish brown and a pine green kind of color. I got a really cute shower curtain that is reversible. Two for the price of one. It does not get much better than that. I think it is going to look really good when we get done and I cannot wait to post some pics.
On to another issue of the day which is girl scout cookies. It started about 9:30 this morning witht the ringing of the doorbell. Little cute scouts selling cookies with a vengence in their little sashes with the clipboards ready and raring to go. Unfortunately for them I already ordered some yesterday morning from a guy at work whose little girl is in scouts. You would not believe some of the looks/comments I got today from some of the little sassy pants girls. The first girl that came up I told her really sweetly that I had just bought some yesterday and she turned and yelled loudly to her mom in the street that I SAID I had already gotten some. I think she was implying that I was lying!!! It had that tone to it but I guess you had to be there to believe it. I am sorrry for hating on the scouts if you have a child that is currently in this process. There are only so many boxes you can buy!! If I bought from everyone today I would not only have supported the scouts but my butt getting 10 times bigger ;) That is not a way to start the year.
I guess that is all of the complaining I am going to do for the day.

I HATE wallpaper too!!! Taylor and I took down our share in our home in Tuscaloosa and it was terrible. Hopefully, you were able to get it all down and start the painting. I can't wait to see the pictures of the final result.
Can't wait to see the pictures of your new bathroom. We had so many issues with tearing down wallpaper in our other house. Our bathroom was a nightmare!!! Someone had apparently put the wallpaper right on top of the drywall. Our bathroom walls looked horrific. I ended up having to have the walls mudded before I could paint.
I love Girl Scout cookies. I don't seem to be asked as much anymore. I hate going to the stores when the girls are out front trying to get rid of their final boxes. I only like the Thin Mints and they usually don't have any of those left to sell. Those girls can be some of the meanest ones.
you ought to get that sorry husband of yours to help you around the house more. i mean seriously, he only works like two days a week and one weekend every 3 months or so...geesh!
:)
About the cookies, I was so excited Sunday when my doorbell rang and it was a girl scout! I have not been asked to buy any in so long. You must be in a neighborhood where they have a troop of girl scouts that meet!
I am looking forward to getting to see your house next month at Bonco. I am sure your bathrooms will look great!
Jon and I also had wallpaper woes. I was just about to tackle another project this week when I started to pull down some wallpaper and discovered there was a-whole-nother set (not a real word, is it?) right underneath!!! I was so discouraged I stopped right then!! :)
I love girl scout cookies but also don't like to be pressured into buying!
How's that slide show coming along???
