What a day!

It started early in Boulder, had to get up, get moving, get to the airport and get back to Atlanta!

DCM dropped me off, we said our goodbyes and off I went. It was sad and not sad…we’re going to see each other in a few weeks and then I’m moving out the in about a month and a half, so, it’s all good.

Got to the airport, walked through the doors and back outside to curbside checkin because the line for Southwest Airlines was ridiculous! An hour inside or five minutes outside? Hmmm..I wonder.

As I am going through security, I decide this is a good time to let my dad know I’m at the airport and a thank you text to DCM, guess what I realize is not in my pocket, yup, you guessed it my cell phone! I break out the work blackberry, call DCM and say ” Guess what’s in your truck!” His response..”we’ll it’s not me because I’m walking into the terminal with your phone!” Is he THE best or what! He had been trying to get me on my blackberry, but it had been turned off! Crisis averted!

I had enough time to get a tshirt for DG, for taking care of my babies and one for CKM and a hat for my dad, get to the gate, get on the plane, settle in (for a long winters nap, kidding!). During the flight, the man sitting next to me asked about my watch, so of course I shared the love.

Watched a movie, then I was back in Atlanta, about 20 minutes early. Still took me 2 hours from the time we landed to getting home.

I stopped by Home Depot to pick up supplies for the painting party! Yup, that’s right, I said painting party, I’m selling my house, of course there will be some painting!

I had sent out an email “The 4 P’s: Packing, Painting, Pizza Party!” People have rallied! Tonight, CKM and CA came over and were fantastic! CA said she was good with trim work and boy is she good! CKM was a demon with the roller and me, you ask? The bottom trim, I’m kind of lacking in stature, so I got the lower to the ground stuff.

My bedroom is…lets just say, it’s like sleeping in a tangerine and my bathroom..think Kermit the Frog. So, we worked on the bathroom, now, it is a nice cream color, back to the boring color the builder wanted, sigh… But it’s what I need to do, it was one of those colors it’s hard to get past, I understand. Now, the possibilities are endless. Thanks to DG for the use of the giant ladder!

I picked up a very nice neutral color, told the realtor and she said take a picture after you start send it, let me check it, I told her it was just right, not to worry. She worried, so I sent a picture of the color card up against the wall, almost. Perfect match, told ya!

Crazy enough, while we were working, here cams Bella, my newest addition to the furry family. She hasn’t been upstairs since in a very long time, she doesn’t get on that well with the other cats, but she was determined to be up there with us painting. Peanut never said boo, but Jymy wasn’t too happy, but Bella stood her ground.

About 11:30 my allergies kicked in really bad and I had a sneezing attack, I think that was my cue to pack it up for the night.

So, now I sit here, writing to you, Peanut is on my left side, Jymy is on the other end of the bed and Bella is sitting on the floor to my right, can’t believe it! I have all my kids with me, I like it!

Tomorrow is a big day, CKM and I are doing the Dirty Girl Run, it’s a 5k obstacle race for women only. http://www.godirtygirl.com/. Time for some shut eye and rest, for after the race, we do this all over again!

Thank you thank you thank you CKM and CA! I soooo could not have done this without you!
