Good News and Bad News

This is a picture of the dining room chandelier I finally chose. Some of you will notice that it is not any of the 3 that I had narrowed it down to, before. That's just the way this house has gone. I liked that it looks old, and that the metal color will go with just about any other metal I decide to use in there. We bought some sconces on ebay from a 1920's hotel to use in there that are aluminum, so they will blend. I really loved that this light fixture sells for about $300.00 and we got it for 80 bucks, brand new in the box. That pretty much was the tie breaker for us. It looks even better in person than it does in the pic, so I'm happy with it.
Anyway- good news first- I have finished picking out the paint colors for our house. (Insert heavenly angel choir here, singing Hallelujah.) I am so so so sick of the paint wheel I could burn it. But, it's my mother's and she wouldn't appreciate that, so I'm just going to put it out of sight for a while. I had picked out about 90 percent of the colors and wrote them all down in a notebook that I'm pretty sure I've packed up in a box somewhere. After tearing the house apart for 2 days looking for it, I realized I was going to have to start over. I remembered some of the colors, but most I had forgotten. Oh, well. It's done and I am so relieved.
Now for the bad news (which isn't really "bad"- I'm just disappointed). I weighed in this morning and have only lost another half a pound. I was hoping for another 2, but just didn't make it. B tried to tell me that because I have been doing a lot of weight lifting at the gym, I have put on muscle, which weighs more than fat- but I'm not buyin' that one completely. I was not the best on my diet this week. With our anniversary and eating on the run because of having to go out to the house and look at stuff, I just didn't behave like I should have. I did stick to my point limit for the week, I just didn't make the best choices. I also didn't make it to the gym this past week. I went this morning and I'm determined to get back on my MWF night schedule. Going in the mornings makes me really nauseated, so nights seem to work better for me. Anyway- that's the latest update. I'm gonna continue to put random pics up for things for the house. Gotta go pick up Annelise early and take her to her first orthodontist appt now. Poor thing got my teeth.....
