Holy moly will I get it done?

Well-here I am only a week away from leaving town to visit family in Kansas and I have barely even begun to get Blake's bedroom painted. I was blocked for awhile and now the block is gone and I am pumped up about it. Ideas are pouring into my head and hopefully it turns out in real life as cool as I see it in my head. So far I am painting 3 of the walls a grey color and the 4th wall will have a variety of squares that are connecting and painted three different colors in the blue /grey family. It looks pretty stinking cool right now- I am quite pleased with my work so far. Took me forever to tape the squares but now it is moving along. Finished Brandons room over a week and a half ago- his is more tranquil- more his laid back personality there. Got the room feeling bigger and more mature. Just waiting on a wolf border to hang. I think he will like it. I HOPe. Blake is trickier because he is all over the place with his interests. All in one day he wanted to learn the guitar, the harmonica and the drums. The next day he wants to be a skater then the next a football player etc etc. Anyway- we are going with a rock-n-roll theme with some rustic stuff- such as one of those lights you use to work under the hood of a car- it's the kind that hangs from the hood- anyway- that will hang over the head of his bed for reading-instead of a lamp. I have three hubcaps to hang somewhere and a chrome shelving unit for his books and stuff. I am also going to make shelves out of old skate boards from his tall Uncle Matt's retired collection. In one corner he will have his sax and guitar set up on stands and his keyboard too- He's gonna be a one man band. Anyone want to trade houses with me? Might be a bit noisy here in my future! On another subject-Alex is having a dance performance tomorrow and is very excited. She still has all of July to prepare to graduate to an orange belt in Tai Kwon Do so we are both learning since I am working with her at home. Watch your back my friends- Alex and I could do some damage! ha ha Time to hit the sack- today was a GREAT day!
