I'm stalling

So, we did have an eventful weekend of painting the front wall of the living room. Alas, the Mr didn't get the doorbell or motion sensor re-mounted or put my glass vases back up on the shelf above the closet. So I don't have after pics for you just yet.

Sneak preview!

Instead I shall give you pictures of my adorable family. Because it's my blog and I can.


Allie. Her favorite hiding place in the house. She was PISSED that I busted her out.


Henry. He has both front legs, I swear.


Roxie. Her face is kinda weird in this picture.


Nope, still weird. That dog is just not photogenic.




Well, to at least keep this post semi house related I shall share an awesome tip I learned this weekend.


If your paintbrushes are all hard and caked with paint, put them in a saucepan of hot vinegar. Soak for 1 hour, then simmer for 10 minutes. Wash with soapy water and the old paint will come off and your bristles will be soft again.  YAY!

(FOR WATER-BASED PAINT ONLY!)

    Your pets are so cute! That look on Henry's face is what my dog uses to guilt-trip us into giving her treats.

      Thanks!
      Ours don't need any special looks, Clint spoils them beyond belief!

      Same here, but I think ours deliberately uses that look after she's already been spoiled by my parents (she occasionally stays at their house and "visits" with them and their dog).
