I wasn’t a very good poster, nor reader this past week. Oh well, this is what happens when you redo the bedroom. Despite my best intentions to take the week off completely to focus on this project, I was needed at work about 2 hours of every day.

Oh well, I spent most of yesterday finishing the painting and by 10pm, we finished moving the furniture around.

I spent most of the days working to TLC. I found that some of these shows were, to put it in Johnny’s words, "sunshine up your ass". All of the baby stories were sweet and kind. Of course, I am sure they didn’t go around looking for people who were high risk, and few of the couples were infertility patients, and of course, the worst thing that happened during labor was an epidural headache. I did feel that if you are watching these shows because you are expecting your first, then you might want to know that there are more scary cases of bad births and occasional deaths. It is scary, but it’s what happens.

Then I fell in love with "What not to wear". That was a nice show. I wish I had $5000 to buy a new wardrobe.

The show "10 Years Younger" was a disturbing concept. They took a person (all women that I saw), who wanted help and they have 100 people look at the person and come up with an age for them. Then the show’s goal is to do dental, facial, hair & makeup and clothes to make the person look 10 years younger. I do think the people looked better, but I wonder if the concept of worshiping the age you look instead of the age you feel is reasonable or not.

I doubt I would be a long term TLC watcher, but it was either that or Nick Jr….
So, you probably want the photos… Here are the before and afters. The Befores were taken in April, 2003 and the Afters were taken tonight.
