Lighter, there was an earthquake Saturday. 4.1M just over the border in TN; felt as far as N. Georgia. You probably did feel it. I got the wallpaper up up yesterday - 1 wall in facing the door to the studio powder room. Ah ladders... ah the agony of getting set up to do work in a newly arranged studio... the preparation contributes as much to success as the actual task skills. I don't think I've hung wallpaper since I was a kid, and helping my mom freshen up the rooms in the house we rented out. Hol was suspicious that I'd royally mess it up or take forever doing it. Showed her.

Matching the pattern was a bit like juggling. I think the only way I could've made it easier would have been to match & cut on the floor. I'd covered the work table for paste application. Wallpaper paste is SOOO much better these days! Let's you reposition it for a little bit to make those seams disappear. It was only 5 pieces of paper... but 2 needed cutout for the window; and there were some oops in there I was able to "cheat" - those patches are up high and below window trim - and disappear. One piece had to slide behind toilet... another beside vanity, 3 inches from the wall... details, details, details.

I'm going to paint the opposite wall; we'd talked about papering it. But this pattern is SOOO busy, a person would have seizures walking into that much pattern. And I won't have enough paper. (So Holly can redecorate her bathroom if she wants; she has chair rail on the bottom half.)

Knuckles was SOOOO good; he slept all day while I worked. Only pestered me once, when he reminded me he needed to go out and was getting hungry and hadn't played ALLL day, Mom. He got extra treats for dinner.

I'm glad you decided OPP's aren't yours. Your yard sounds really lovely! A renaissance post-hurricane perhaps?

I worked through people/neighbors coming and going, as I tended to yard yesterday.  Didn't look up to say anything, to anyone. 

I saw the nice lady, with the little Weiner dog in it's pram, as they walked away.  She'd brought her husband to meet me....my phone was playing a song..."I'd rot in hell with you ...if you'd just ask me to..."
it must of scared them off.  It's sort of funny, bc mostly I have old blues on my playlist.

Well....let that be lesson to them.
::nod::.

The cowgirl was out 2 or 3 times....I just kept my head down....it was harder to ignore her lovely lab.

Lately, when I think of the goofy neighbor stuff.....I think.....let that be a lesson to you.  I'm saying it to them, as any response to silliness, but really, to myself.
