Paint and Potter

I knew I was out of shape. I knew I was no where near reaching my fitness potential, but this weekend it hit home. I spent 16 hours painting this weekend and my pitiful muscles are not happy. After we wrapped up last night, I was SOO stiff and sore, it was sad. Moving off the couch, cleaning the bathroom, taking a bath, rustling up dinner were all monumental tasks. The good news here is that I am much improved (if still a bit sore) this morning. I am rather proud of   and myself. With help from Mi Mama, J.Wo and Signe, we painted 2 rooms (3 coats in one, 2 coats in another). Flounder also did a bit of demolition in the basement, and scraped out the old caulk in the master bathroom's shower and prepared the space for re caulking. The larger guest room is now Malard green (bold and gorgous!) and the masterbed room is Warm Muffin (Cozy and well, warm!). V. nice. This week, I have baseboards and trim to paint and a bit of touch up in bothrooms. The carpet guys come Tuesday and the movers Saturday. Needless to say there is still a lot to do, but we are feeling pretty good about ourselves.

 BEWARE! I AM ABOUT TO DISCUSS THE NEW HARYY POTTER MOVIE!
Do not read on if you are afraid of spoilers!

This weekend we managed to see Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. In general, it is 100 times better than the previous 2 films. No question. There was some really vital explination regarding Lupin, Snape, Black and Harry's father that could have quickly and simply handled...but instead they just left it out...v. bad. Visually it was much more sophisticated. With all those bright saturated colors, the first two films were more like cartoons in tone than live action films. And Wow! Are those kids actually learning to act? Even Rupert Grint (Ron) spent less time making twist faces. In general, I was just thrilled.

This week is going to be non-stop house prep. Helping Flounder pack and get the new place ready. I know I so ready to get out of the "in between" faze you always get when moving.
