can't blog, must paint



Just so you know
a teeny tiny bathroom
takes just as long to tape and cut
as a great BIG room would

and just so you know
you shouldn't play with wet paint too much
or you'll end up with a big, streaky, irreversible mess

oh,
and one more thing
you can't hurry spackle
it dries when it wants to
not when you
and your hairdryer
tell it to
I hate it when you get a wild hair
and tear out vital parts of a room
only to wake up the next day
and wonder where that wild hair has gone.

You Can't Hurry Spackle was one of my favorite songs from the 80s. (I hope you'll show a before and after picture to inspire me and my bathroom.)

Our favorite joke around here is how often I get us 'into' a project and the husband gets us 'out'...
