Connie and the boys have been chillaxing (combination of “chilling” and “relaxing”) in Florida this past week to attend her two nephews’ high school graduations and will get home today. I took the opportunity during their trip to get a major honey-do item out of the way by painting the bonus room over the garage. You need to realize it has maintained an unfinished look for what, a year?

Feeling like a real home improvement guy, I went to Lowe’s and bought paint and the necessary accouterments and spent Monday, my off day, painting the room in exceptional Auburn orange and blue. That was a big deal for a guy who isn’t exactly a Mr. Do-it-yourselfer.

I know, pride goeth before a fall. The downside is that if we ever need to sell this house, no Georgia or Bama fan will want it. At least Tech fans would have enough sense to know you can re-paint the room (hey, my father-in-law is a Ga Tech grad).
