This evening I painted the hallway.
Normally I find painting a very satisfying task: once the job is done, it makes everything look so good!
But this is the second time I've painted this hallway in 4 months. The first time I turned 10 years of horror grey-once-was-white into pristine sunny yellow. This time I turned 4 months of horror brown-once-was-sunny-yellow into...pristine sunny yellow.
Actually it was still pristine sunny yellow except for a strip from 2 to 4 feet high the length of the hallway on both sides, which was filled with hand and finger prints the color of mud, grape jelly and Cheetos.
This painting task was decidedly less satisfying than the last time.
I had been hoping that this task on the to-do list would never rise to top priority but today my realtor, reporting on the open house, said "Comments were about 95% positive, which is great. Several people did comment on the hallway paint, though."
So much for escaping that one, eh?

Magic Eraser. Srsly. My mother puts them in my Christmas stocking (such a subtle hint!) every year, and I finally tried them out awhile back and it looked like I'd repainted.
(Sadly, it doesn't do anything for the delaminated paneling, so... not actually magic.)

Hah! The jam prints and Cheerio art on the walls gave the house character. Too bad most can't see the joy that kids can bring!

Good afternoon. When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone; nay, God is within, and your genius is within. And what need have they of light to see what you are doing? Help me! I can not find sites on the: China distance education. I found only this - distance education models. I was caring in the job part now and was finding millions at the homelike entry-level. They will be final for going places information, family mailing, door milk and existing sites within the income. Thanks :o. Delbert from Bolivia.
