Tomorrow I'm going to pick up a gallon of primer, & we'll get it slapped up on the walls & ceiling tomorrow night. We may or may not have time before Sunday to actually paint the walls the lovely blue that Amanda & Matt gave us, but at least it will look more finished than it does now. Zoey won't mind, but we want the house to look as good as possible for the foster person who is dropping her off. Don't want her thinking she's dropping the dog off to a couple of fools.
