prosodicToday was gorgeous...a bright and nearly cloudless sky and in the upper 50's. I don't know where the weatherman gets this idea that our Seattle winter is coming back. No signs have pointed to it. And my tulips or daffodils or whatever they are have started sprouting. It's been unbelievable.
So even though Lance and I had painting to do today, we took our time this morning getting our shopping done.
On the way down to McChord, we stopped at Lowe's to get a few things. Then we took a detour through Tacoma, where Lance drove along the waterfront to show me the walking path he discovered yesterday. It's fabulous...gorgeous views of Puget Sound and the Olympic and Cascade mountains...wonderful seafood restaurants scattered along the way. We drove by the Museum of Glass too, so I got to take a look at that. I'm really anxious to explore more of that area. Lance is anxious too also, but he wants to wait until we get our dog before we do it. There are a few rocky beaches where we can take the dog...and I don't imagine that eating at a restaurant is doable unless they let you sit outside with a pet, but bringing a picnic would certainly be nice.
Anyway...we went to McChord...got back around 3:30 and then started painting. First coat is on now and it looks great. The entire room looks so great now that everything is painted one color. We have a few touch-up areas, but things are going much smoother this time than they did with the kitchen. And now that all the window treatments are down, I put up the Redi-Shades in the kitchen, so those will stay up until I find a more permanent solution for the windows.
We finished up around 7:00 pm or so, and I was able to clean up, reheat some leftovers for dinner, and then relax while I watched the third episode of The Tudors. I am now hopelessly addicted to this show, even though it's historically inaccurate. It's just so pretty. And OMG...I never really thought much of Jonathan Rhys Meyers...but holy crap, he is one hot Henry VIII.
I don't have Showtime, so I don't know what I'm going to do once DirecTV is done showing season 1. I won't be able to watch season 2 until it comes out on DVD.
