Signed, Sealed, Delivered...

SIGNED: Today was the last possible day to protest the tax valve of my house - it's currently $10,000 over my purchase price - so I spent the morning photocopying, purchasing envelopes, fighting traffic, and signing forms.

SEALED: Started seriously thinking about the metallic accents for the floor. Should they be antique gold, or 'solid' gold, or maybe silver to go with the wall? I made a few squares using the colors I owned, and then placed the squares on the brown so I could decide which color to use. That's when I saw it. Right in front of my eyes, and very obvious thanks to the semi-gloss paint! I'm talking about those horrible patchy places where the tape picked up the darkest green paint! Yuck! They were everywhere, and in a perfect grid shape. Once I noticed they started driving me crazy. So I did the only sensible thing I could think of: I covered my lovely brown floors with a thick white coat of sealer. Tomorrow, once the sealed floors are dry, I'll re-paint in brown AGAIN.

DELIVERED: Also found time to finally return that expensive quilt to The Company Store. I liked it, but it was just too expensive. Plus I found something better. On Memorial Pay I purchased a very cool yo-yo quilt. Normally I'm not a big yo-yo fan I but when I saw the quilt I knew it would be perfect. The colors are incredible, very mellow and laid-back. One corner is incomplete, but Mom says she has some vintage yo-yos I can use to finish the job.
