I'm finally starting to feel a bit more 'settled' in our house now.  Despite the fact that our living room has large holes in the ceiling.  Ya see, last week we got our electric service upgraded and now we're waiting to get recessed lighting installed.  Hopefully by the end of next week, the living room will have new sheetrock and will be ready for us to paint it.

Speaking of paint... I swear I've looked at just about every paint sample available out there!  It's kind of driving me insane.  The dining room took us about 5 samples before we settled on 2.  Now I'm loving it and am so thrilled with how it came together.  The next room is the guest room/office and we decide to bite the bullet and buy an entire gallon of one paint without trying smaples.  WRONG move.  Man, the color came out to a neon green and it was a bit much for us.  SO, we got 3 other samples and I think we have a winner.  Hopefully it's as successful as the dining room.

I just can't wait to finish painting all of the rooms so that we can finally get our floors refinished.

In other news - work is extremely busy and I'm working a ton of overtime.  BUT, I'm still way underpaid because we haven't gotten raises again for the SECOND year in a row.  This is getting SO old.  As soon as things settle down... I just might have to beef up my resume and work on my interviewing skills.  I didn't get an MBA for nothing!!
