The two doozies of the day:
1. Lee and I tried to hang our new ceiling fan in the kitchen and that was a disaster. We couldn't get the electrical box in the ceiling stabilized, we finally fixed that and started mounting the fan, only to realize we had forgotten the medallion that covers the nasty gap around the electrical box. We undid everything that had taken 30+ mins, put the medallion on, and started again. All said and done, it took 4 hours to do something that should have taken 30 mins. Nothing ever goes as planned when working on your house, unless you're Bob Villa.
2. We got free Tickets to the Grand Prix in downtown Baltimore. We have been excited for weeks about going and today it had come. So after our terrible morning with the fan, we needed some fun. We get on our bikes to ride downtown and about 1/4 of the way my front tire blows out. And when I say blows out, it literally exploded. It sounded like a car back firing! I was so furious. Lee had to ride back home, get the car and come get me. Once we got the bike in and we were headed downtown, he asked "Where in the harbor do you want to dump that piece of ----?" Im getting a new bike!!!!
On a more exciting note, I have started my "wallpaper" in the living room. I bought a stencil on etsy and a gold sharpie paint pen. It looks so pretty, I can't wait to show you the results...not finished:( Here is the stencil I chose(Im only tracing the lines not filling it in with paint) and the wall before.

AND HERE IS A PREVIEW!!!!
that's me trying to stencil into the corner:(
I think a new bike may fix that day! I love the stencil but would NEVER be patient enough t o do what you're doing. I'm sure it's going to look FANTASTIC!!!
