Cool You know you're old when

you are so sore from doing a painting technique on your bedroom walls that you can barely move! I actually have "hand painted" (with a brush and a plastic bag) my walls FOUR times in the past 2 days. The good news is the painting is done, save another coat on the woodwork and some touch ups. YaHOO!

Oh my, I am soooooo sore. Yup, I'm old.

Me too Lisa,
I just finished painting the kitchenette downstairs and the breakfast nook upstairs and putting up border and it completely wore me out. The worst part is that these were tiny rooms. If I'd done a big room, I'd have to rest for a week to recover.

But don't you just love how gorgeous your new room is!!!!
