prosodicLance came home from work about 2 hours earlier than usual. If you want to call it work. He was at a retirement party for a good chunk of it. So I didn't let him off the hook when he came home because he had a hard day...instead, I sent him in search of the spackle. He found it under the loveseat. Have no idea how it ended up there.
So he spackled the areas that needed it while I continued priming. We got most of it done right before dinner and then took a break. Lance wanted to get lottery tickets and cash in on our whopping $7 win from earlier in the week (woohoo!) and we had a couple of checks to deposit in our account anyway. So we headed to the grocery store (where we could accomplish both tasks, as our bank is located inside Top). He figured we'd grab takeout too. So I actually got some chinese food there at Top...some steamed brown rice with 2 entrees: beef & broccoli and some kind of chicken dish I had never tried before. Lance didn't like their other takeout food selections (it was mostly fried chicken), so we headed down the street to Burger King for his dinner.
Came home and ate. The chinese food was very very good...surprisingly so, for getting it at a grocery store. Also super filling. I'm still stuffed.
After dinner and watching a bit of the news, we set to priming the area over which Lance had spackled earlier. Now almost the entire wall is done except for a couple of spots in the corners that need double applications of spackle.
I took a shower and scrubbed and scrubbed, but still couldn't get all the primer off. I have big spots of it on my arms still. Got laundry started, although we're not bothering to wash our painting clothes.
Here in less than 10 minutes, I am going to sit back and watch the 2nd episode of season 1 of The Tudors. I guess it's on every night at 8 on The 101 (DirecTV). I watched the first episode last night and I am totally hooked already. Just need to make myself a cup of hot chocolate first and truly relax.
Tomorrow we have grocery shopping, and then we spend the afternoon painting.
