Auto Shop YAY!!! Morning, not much going on, but bits of good news. I found, on my first call, a place to take the Jag that believes it won't cost the three grand I anticipated paying to fix this car. They also think that they might be able to have it finished in a week or so! They're not a Jag shop, but they're an auto electric place that seems to have its head on straight. Sadly, my power locks decided to give up the ghost yesterday, but soon I'll have the car in the shop and, hopefully, fixed for less than I believed. I'm pretty happy about this turn in luck, praying it will keep up. Other than that, I started painting my lamp yesterday. I tried taking a picture to post of its before stage, but I was unable to make the lighting work out. My living room faces south, which usually generates good light, but in Michigan fall it's really rainy so there's no sun at all. Without the lamp I was painting plugged in, the light was pretty dim. I'm pretty happy with how the half I did finish turned out though. I just need more paint. It fits the colors of the room, well the sectional which defines my room, by being blue and oceanic, but it also keeps with the women's faces molded into the lamp. Before I worked on it, it was this harsh pink color so I really needed to repaint it. I'll do pics when it's finished. If anyone knows whether you can paint dark colors on a lampshade, please leave me a note. Right now I think I'll leave it the tan color it is, but I would like it to match if it could. Nothing much else to mention. We watched Drowning Mona last night and I got a bit drunk. Got some action too ;) which I hope breaks the dry spell. Daphne |
