It's dreary and rainy here in Iowa today. I just gave myself the treat of taking a half day off tomorrow, so my mood has picked up considerably. If you have the vacation time, I highly recommend it.

So, I know I keep talking about us working on our kitchen this Winter, but then we get overwhelmed and say, "Screw it. Let's go for a bike ride." We did buy new, sleek looking ceiling fans, but that was the fun and easy part. This weekend, we went to Menards and got tons of plastic sheeting. We've read that scraping off a popcorn ceiling is dirty, messy business and we'll have to cover everything in our kitchen. So, now we've taken away our excuse of having to go get the sheeting before we start the project. I'm sure we'll think of some new excuses not to start the work. We're creative like that.

I spent a whole weekend by myself taking down popcorn ceilings in one big room once when the boys were out of town - wooowwwee - fun times. We actually got all the popcorn off the downstairs ceilings and have never had the energy to float and paint the ceilings after that - down to the drywall a lovely new trending look in ceilings (believe me by Sunday night you will see why)
That is not anonymous - just me

I know. I'm scared. At least we only have popcorn on the kitchen ceiling, so when we're completely burnt-out after that, we won't have any other rooms to do.
But it will be so worth it not to have it...
