Just a little update today
as Becky is back to school.
Spring break went way too fast.
We shopped, cleaned, had an appointment,
got her hair highlighted for Prom,
saw a movie or three or four, shopped,
and crafted a little. More
on that in a future post.
Remember the flowers she received for Valentine's Day?
Here she is with them.
In her "hot" pink room.
Soon, it will be
"Beet" as I hope to get
it painted this week.
I've got all of the supplies,
the room is stripped and ready,
now I just need to get my groove on.
One thing I HATE is painting!
I am the worlds worst painter!
I've been single for almost 15 years and I do alright
but I am a bundle of nerves when I have to paint.
And a deep, bright color? Argh!
Just a pretty picture to leave you with
on this Monday.
I hope it's a good
one for you.

Good Morning,
Beet? Oh, that is going to be hard to cover up when this stage is over!
Have a good day... painting or not!
Good luck with that. Nice pic of Becky!
It sounds like you had a pretty full break with plenty to do.
That's a very nice picure of Becky and good luck with that painting. Will you show us when you are finished?
Too bad I don't live closer. By some freak of nature, I actually enjoy painting. I know, it blows my mind too....totally not like me, lol!
Exactly the shade of a beet? WTG Becky you are a girl who knows her own mind. Can't wait to see it.
Hugs Madi and Mom
Becky looks so pretty . . . pretty smile too. How did the Prom go?
Painting is not my forte', more on me than on the walls. A beet color will be interesting . . . you may still be trying to make it cover this time tomorrow. Good Luck!
Glad to be able to read a post of yours. I was missing them. Wow, her room really is a HOT pink. No kidding. I love pink but I don't see myself painting anything that bright. My step-daughter wanted hers black. I ws like no way Jose. Not here ever. Maybe your moms house. My husband was not going to let it happen either. I mean who wants a black room? Only our young generations today.
Becky looks so sweet holding her flowers. Good for her.
Have fun painting.

Hi Jill! I love to paint, but I don't think I would enjoy the beet color :) Oh, the things those girls come up with - my oldest daughter once wanted her room walls done in purple :P I'm so glad you posted a picture of Becky - now I can picture her pretty face when you talk about her. Sounds like you had quite a weekend!
Aw, your daughter is so cute, and those flowers are pretty! She looks happy! I've been single for about 17 years now, and I hate painting too.

Becky looks so cute and happy with her pretty flowers... glad you had a nice time on her break... don't work too hard painting!... wishing you a wonderful beginning to a new week as well... xoxo Julie Marie
i know the story with becky but i have to say she looks so much like you. blonde, beautiful and happy....she looks great!!
good luck with painting that room, i HATE to paint!!
Becky looks nice with her flowers.Her hair looks lovely.
Im with you Jill I HATE painting.I painted my living room about 4 years ago,then the kitchen.My husband died 10 yrs ago so its all up to me for painting jobs UGH!
Have a great day!
i detest indoor painting, too!
That's why I'm so glad I live in a log home now...No more painting :)
pretty picture of your girl. i like to paint, but i don't get around to doing it as often as i'd like. enjoy your day. yessir, that's hot pink on the walls. i'd have to rest my eyes on some other shade if i stared at that too long:)
Love the smiling photo of Becky and her bouquet!
Beet? Yep, you might be a little crazy for taking that on. :)
I used to love painting....but now it is such a CHORE!!!
Good luck to you...don't let the painting 'beet' you up!
Love the picture of Becky and her flowers.She is a cutie!
Now that is a color I love, but like you I HATE painting walls, if I didn't have to tape off and everything.
Good Luck
What a nice shot of your kiddo:) She looks very happy. I know the feeling about color choices....it will be fine, but I also hate the mess as well:) I love that tree in the background....it's huge!!
Great pictures! Our Spring Break is next week and I can't wait. Good luck with the painting - I hate it too!
Yeah, I know what you mean about painting - it's a daunting task! I'm sure you'll do fine, and soon you'll be posting pictures of Becky's bright room!
Beautiful flowers :) I'm sure Becky's room will look great after the work is done! Have a great day!

Oh sweets...loved reading about how you've enjoyed your girl. Mine is married now and I miss her SOOOOO MUCH! Gone too soon.
What I wouldn't give to do those things again with my baby.
xoRebecca
Sounds like you two had lots of fun time together! Sweet photo of Becky :)
I can't blame you on painting. I dread it worse than almost anything!
Not a fan of painting either -- but my husband is a lesser fan than I, so guess who get's stuck doing it? :)
Beet? My, you are brave.
Our spring break with our daughter went well also and way too fast. Your daughter is so pretty! Hope you had a nice day!
Lovely picture of Becky, she looks so happy and pretty!
Oh my goodness, Becky - you are one beautiful young lady! Whom ever the lucky gentleman is who will be escorting you will surely feel blessed, with the beautiful new hair - very nicely done, the dress (what we've peaked at!) I hope you know how special your Mama thinks you are - and so do we!
Jill, just think of that red room as an elephant you must eat. Remember how how eat an elephant, one bite at a time? The prep work is half the work! So you are already well on your way - and since the prep work is the yucky part of the work, just figure you already ate the hind end! he he he!
Thanks for leaving us with such a wonderful view of your blue skies! Just beautiful!
Blessings,
Donna
I love to paint. It's the easiest, cheapest re-model ever, and can make a huge difference. The best part...If you don't like it, just paint over it (covering beet may take a few coats)haha
Oh, I don't like painting either, mainly because I'm no good at it. hehe I have to give you credit for attempting to paint her room, and a new coat of paint does wonders to a room. I'm glad you and your daughter got to spend so much fun time together.

The last thing in the world I would pick to do is paint. I feel for ya Jill. I know you'll do a great job....cant wait to see the color when you're done.
Aww, those flowers look great and Becky definitely looks happy with them! : ).. I can just imagine how the room will look in "beet". That should be great!
Becky must be very excited about her prom... and her new room colour!
March Break is this week here. :)
Becky is a BEAUTIFUL girl! sandie
Beautiful photo of Becky with her wonderful flowers!
Dear Jill, That is good quality time spent and memories made for both of you. Blessings, Catherine xo
Good luck with the painting.
Good luck with the painting.

Last pic is super gorgeous Jill!! :)
