Caught Oliver in a yawn while he was rolling on his back. It looks a little like he is throwing a little tantrum. I love catching him looking like this because he is so docile and gentle, catching him looking like a little terror is funny to me. Weather has kept me from any outside sort of photos. That and I have returned to the gym a couple of days a week so it is nice and dark when I get home. That is why this week has had pictures of the cats and the room we are painting. Sorry so boring but that is what is going on in my life right now.

Now, because I have been at the gym I have caught up on the news again. And I saw Oprah today. She had Matthew Mcconaughey on and he was talking about his movie We Are Marshall. That looks like a good movie. I was tearing up just watching the interview.

Did you see this in the news? A woman has her son arrested after he opens a Christmas Present early. Interesting story. When I saw this on the news I was not watching that particular TV but I read the blurbs, what I didn’t know was the kid was about 12 and is a real loser (many other incidents with this kid). I thought this woman called the police on his 5 year old or something and I thought it was ridiculous. But since I found out that this was a kid who is older and should be able to control himself, I think the mother did what she could do because nothing else worked with this kid. (I’ve got to switch over to the audio on those sort of news stories, they are just so bizarre.) I don’t think the kid should get that present after all this either. It was a gameboy.

It is time to paint the bedroom. Yesterday and today I did some priming of the woodwork. This is a nice little feature of the room. There are 7 cubby holes about a foot deep and a foot wide and a foot high (except for the top one which is about 7 inches high, kept getting my brush stuck) These will be great little storage places for different things in the room. Not sure what exactly but should be pretty cool. And it is built into the side of the chimney. We have marble fireplaces (decorate fronts) in two of the rooms, one is in our living room (soon to be dining room) and the other is in the future bedroom.

I’m very excited to get to work on these rooms and finally have them done. It will be great to get the new bed in the new bedroom and finally stop having to crawl over the tons of stuff that lives in our existing bedroom.

I was able to get my car inspected today. A great local garage called Achin’s. I went to school with one of the women who works there and they are very nice. We’ve had to call on them on a few occasions for tows and whatnot. I got there in enough time that I could also go to the gym. I was happy to get there and work out a bit. I haven’t been in a while and I feel like a slug.

After the gym I primed a little more trim and will do some more tomorrow night. Slowly we will get that room finished.
