Those look really nice CC!

I did some of these in my last house: https://mirrormate.com

Probably less expensive to have it done by someone working on the bathroom, but great for a DIY update to a bathroom! They just stick on.

120 - funny, it always seems like Friday when I officially record my weight is a bit heavier than the other days of the week. It is the day after my shot so maybe it doesn't kick in for an extra day? Who knows - my weight has been pretty stable (within 3 pounds) since mid-August of last year when I went back into maintenance mode.

The weather is gorgeous here right now. Warm and sunny with a nice breeze. Justice has been happy as a clam since we got back. Lots of walks please him. We have been doing a good length after dinner walk lately since the time change and he really enjoys that.

Yesterday I enjoyed playing golf with the ladies but still didn't do well. I haven't improved much since January. I need more lessons but don't want to take them now and waste them as I am unlikely to play much during the summer and will probably forget what I learn if I don't use it right away.

I decided I want to lighten up our master bath which has no natural light. The woman who had the place 2 owners ago was an "artist" whose specialty is making the walls be art. She put texture in the paint of almost every room (think sandy). She also used grey almost everywhere with a lot of it in dark tones. The bathroom has a mural over the bathtub which would be nice if it was uplifting but I find it very ominous and dark (see below). Our guy is coming Monday to look at it and talk about what to do - while we are not here in the summer. I don't know how he can prep the walls for regular paint. Sand them? I also want molding around the mirrors on the bathroom walls which look like frames (I did that at my for Florida place) and I want to swap out a couple of lights including putting a sort of chandelier over the bathtub to add light in the room. Reading Ann's recent posts got me motivated LOL.

Today is yoga, then beach club. Probably Happy Hour tonight with dinner possibly at the beach club again. Who knows? This is the last somewhat busy weekend in Florida with Easter on Sunday.

Have a flipping Friday!

Your DH is truly a gem! What fun the 2 of you will have in retirement.

Greetings all

Sunny today though clouds earlier. I actually left the house wearing just a t shirt. One from 2001 from the border terrier national specialty. So long ago in a galaxy far away...Went to the gym to walk. Sgt. Pepper and Simon and Garfunkel. Skipped the studio since I got a slow start. Studio buddy called and talked and talked. I am going to have to say something to her. She wants DH to help her with some computer issues which he is happy to do but she is now spouting some conspiracy theories regarding her slow internet. Must decrease all the drama if she wants help.

Yay for the "Ann" day. Nice to take yourself out. We should all do this. I mostly do a drive through sandwich on busy errands days and there is no reason not to have a sit down lunch. Plenty of places. Wishing you the best on travel and the further remodeling.

Congrats liz on tax status. You are way ahead on this game! Hope it is warm.

DH enjoy the Easter plans. Hope your parents house is low drama. And as you well know the shopping for dinner prep can be as much work a the dinner itself. Good to have a shopper. We are going to eat dinner with some friends at the casino restaurant which is actually pretty good and has an out of this world ocean view.

Yay Paula your DH is almost retired. Live it up!

I am trying to think up ways to get more protein with minimal effort. Shrimp tonight from Costco. i still have not checked out the steak bites. That means I will have to go there myself instead of sending DH. But I love looking at their prepared food options. A trip to costco counts as a gym trip.

And yeah, another school shooting. When are we going to fix this? Florida State was where my mother went to college.
