Look at the past as a learning curve, even though it was unpleasant. This time round, you can start from scratch but with all the knowledge and experience you have gained. It will be a great new adventure for you and your family and soon the new will outweigh the bad memories :)

Ps. you may need a BOTTLE or two Friday night, hahahaha!

Nanajennie@Rox
Thanks Girls... :YMHUG: and :-*

@chirpy
No...I don't need either cover because my guys are in a bird room. Makes things much easier...

@EyesofFreedom
I wish I could recommend a green...they can be tuff to pick out. I LOVE Providence Olive by Benjamin Moore. Its a sage green...not too dark and not at all pastel. Just really beautiful...

I did my dining room sage green last year I got Martha Steward and mixed in some buttermilk color. Had the local store mix them and made sure I had enough to coat the entire room three times, because I knew it wouldn't be even if I had to do a touch up.

That's right!!! I remember now...do you have extra paint??? Or maybe you will just need an extra gallon. I want to get a comfy chair for my bird room, but we are beyond BROKE!!!

Ginene I am just now seeing this post! So happy and excited for you! It's almost SATURDAY! Can't wait to see GS pics :). Try to enjoy (or at least endure) your last day of a lovely feather/seed/poop free bird room! It's like when I first assemble a new cage and think, "This is the cleanest it will ever be..."

BRING ON THE BIRDS!!!!!!!

BRING ON THE BIRDS!!!!!!!
Lol!!! You are so right!!! I am busting...tonight I get to fill the vacation feeder, water tube, supplement cups and add fresh millet. Its hysterical that I am looking forward to feathers, seed hulls and finch poop! :) I am so eager for the beautiful singing to fill my home again!!! Lil Joe is not feeling well (home from school today), so he may stay home with grandma while we make the trip out to Binghamton. We shall see how he feels in the morning...
