Calli, it does seem odd for the instructor not to have called when expected. I can't imagine there are so many students out there that he can afford to neglect one.

Yay! My new flight instructor called. Tomorrow we'll go over booking his time and, schedule meshing and weather permitting, Saturday or Sunday I'll have my first flying lesson!
ETA: Oddly enough, dcp, we have a surplus of student pilots right now. The head of instruction's been hiring new CFIs and trying to put them in contact with various students, all of whom have various schedules, so things have been a tad chaotic.

Dusty rose old lady carpet. It used to be wall to wall on this floor, until I pulled it up in the living room and dining room.

Did I share my pink colors here? Of course I totally wish they were named Blush and Bashful, but anyway here: [link]
they are in the pink section (duh) - colors "sweet pink" and "pink burst". Sweet for the 2 side walls and Burst for the wall behind the laundry machines.

I am all at once amazed and appalled by that floor.
I am appalled that it does not make words.

still going to use it as a pantry in the kitchen. It is going to be a tight fit, but will go near the table.

I would spend hours staring at that floor, trying to find all the words.

I think I am going to paint the hallway that leads to upstairs. It doesn't need to be scraped or anything, and it's a fairly small space and it's just...dull.
It'll allow me to practice my painting techniques, I'll be able to do it in a couple of days, and it's a small, connecting space, so I can paint it a fairly dramatic color.
I'm thinking a nice clear, bright turquoise. I have picture frames and some small, round mirrors in my registry, and I would like to hang those up there.
My biggest debate now is should I paint the risers, also turquoise, or just repaint them in a clean white? The steps themselves are a golden hardwood, and I won't paint those, but the...backsplash? what would you call that? to the steps are painted a dingy, scuffed white.

As an owner of an older house, please seal/varnish/clearcoat before painting. Signed, wants to return my banisters to their original wood someday, but likely badly paintstained.
