Floatin' couches and other ails

sorry y'all, I got sick last weekend  and pretty much have been keeping the couch from floating away this week. Well, it's not like I did nothing. With husband darling out of town I fed, bathed and chauffeured 3 kids around all week, threw together a 3rd grade Valentine's party in less then 24 hours including hand cutting over 440 strips of paper! I also ran errands, for which I considered wearing my yoga pants and slippers but just couldn't. So I wore my yoga pants and tennies with some lipstick and diamond earrings. A girl's gotta represent even when she is sick!

    I also painted the kitchen island just as I said I would. Then I realized I hated the color and repainted it a different color. Sadly it looks pretty much the same as before. Except clean and fresh. It is drying very slowly in my frigid garage so I figured as long as I already had a mess I might as well make a bigger one so I drug my garage sale find coffee table that was an annoying yellow and oak combo out for a coat of white love too! So it now has been sanded, primed and first coat of what may be many applied. Now husband darling is coming home tonite and frankly, doesn't give a damn about painting the coffee table but is going to be pretty pissy about me hoggin' up the garage space. (insert self conscious shrug) sorry lovey! (little wink as I hand him a beer).
   I promise to post pics of the failed paint color and all end results as soon as the paint is dry! Brrrrrr, it is cold in that garage tonite! Well, I have a date with my sofa cushions and a remote for a bit before I toddle off to bed. I think I need one of daddy's cure-all toddies tonite! (hot tea, honey, lemon and a splash of Kentucky's fine Jack Daniels whiskey) That will warm your bones!
