....Tired of Painting, Popcorn Ceiling SUCKS, and Lowe's Knows Who We Are ....

I'M SO GODDAMN SICK OF PAINTING. Well....not fun painting. I've been wanting to fun paint for weeks. Right now? We're painting the house. Yes, ladies and germiephobies, Mr. and Mrs. Chavez got the keys. We haven't really....MOVED IN just yet. We've, so far, painted a few rooms, and T.C. went popcorn ceiling scrape CRAZY!! But he's he good at it!! I tell you he's a regular Holmes on Homes!! WHICH is where I got the IDEA to tell him that i knew how to scrape popcorn texture off of a ceiling. Cough.

But it's been fun, a wonderful scary change, and we're pretty happy with it. I just never wanna see a damn roller for a LONG TIME. My shoulders, fingers, everything is SORE. I still have to paint the other room I'm going to inhabit. Really we've just been working very very hard, a lot of it has been trial and error....mostly error....but goddamn it we can say we did it ourselves with minimal help. Our little sister Amanda was amazing. She helped me paint my whole bedroom and helped with the dining room and anything else she could. She's the bestest.

Oh, btw, if you're gonna shell out the money for Valspar, it's not bad. Just don't think you can walk up to the guy at Lowe's and get what you want, GOD FORBID you pick the wrong MATTE!! Valspar is just hella involved. Too much precise mixing and applying.

I think the people at the Lowe's in our town now recognize us, and wish we'd go home. This is, obviously, my paranoia. The paint mixers see us coming. I know coz they look like this:

(I finally get near Photoimpression 4 again and I LOOSE MY TOUCH!! This is the worst picture I've ever made.) Anyway it's just bad. My big Sister is doing stuff she'd never had tried had her husband not bought her a house for her birthday. We're pretty happy. I'm pretty buzzed. I think it's bedtime. I was TRYING to not fall asleep in the middle of Craig Ferguson like I have every night since we've starting working. OH WELL!! NIGHT!!!

AND NOW THE GRATUITOUS CHRIS ISAAK PICTURE!!

I love you, you're so cute. <3

HAZ A GOOD NIGHT PIPPLEZ!! <3

....Lady Gaga, I'm not Creative, and the Magic of Puffs Vicks Tissues....

FIRST OF ALL, WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS BITCH?
I don't really like HER. I don't even know why anyone likes her....I guess just looking at her I get the massive gay following. Of course Divas have a massive gay following. It's the life blood of the Divadom. I don't know what it is, maybe it's the RAH RAH ROMA MA....but "Bad Romance" has been dancing around in head for way too long. "Paparazzi" sort of started growing on me after that CRAZY ass performance on that Kanye-Crazy VMA show. If you didn't see it, and honestly what Lady Gaga fan didn't, here it is:

I was a concerned for her sanity.

I actually like the real video for that song. It's very good! I just can't be her fan. If she couldn't sing my love/hate relationship could be just hate. LOL

I haven't been able to really paint lately. I've been trying in vain to crochet....I've gotten what I need to get done. I just need MOTIVATION!! I need to be able to breathe!! I am the QUEEN!! SOMEONE HAND ME MY NEEDLE!! Or....just get out of the way so I can set up my paints.

Oh....a note about Puffs, Vicks infused Tissues....OH MY GOD THEY ARE FROM MAJICK!!!

The child in the picture is showing you how I felt when I put that tissue to my nose.

So if you're like me right now and you can't fucking breathe, go get you some. People might stare at you for sniffing tissues, but at least you can SMELL!!!

And now....THE GRATUITOUS CHRIS ISAAK PICTURE:
