I didn't have a "real" post for today - per se- but I do have some random thoughts so here goes:

1. I've been painting.
2. The guest bathroom under the stairs.
3. A dark color.
4. With a light ceiling.
5. And accent trim and door.
6. I hate painting.
7. I REALLY hate painting.
8. I hate painting so much that Tommy called in a contractor, which will be painting all the ceilings and walls in the visible parts of our house later this month.
9. Why didn't we go ahead and have them paint the bathroom too?
10. Nobody knows, not even us. Maybe because we already bought the paint and I claimed I needed something to do.
11. Remind me to tell Tommy to remind me the next time I think painting a room's a good "something for me to do"....not to believe me.
12. But I digress.
13. Did I mention that I hate painting?
14. And all that goes with it?
15. The taping - HATE the taping - but ya gotta do it or you'll be sorry.
16. And for some reason the Scotch blue painter's tape is the only one that really works. What's up with that?
17. I might possibly hate sanding even more - but again, ya gotta do it. To avoid extra coats. On the trim and door.
18. Always remember to PAINT THE CEILING FIRST.
19. Nothing sucks more than painting a dark color on the walls, and a light color on the ceiling, which drips on the freshly painted dark walls.
20. Didn't do that this time...but HAVE done that before. BIG mistake.
21. Dark colors require more coats.
22. I hate more coats.
23. The ceiling's done, the walls are done, and first coat of paint on trim and door is done.
24. Did I mention I HATE to paint?
25. Why is it taking me days to do one tiny bathroom, whereas the contractor claims his experienced crew of five or 6 can do all visible parts of our house (22' ceilings, sheet rock repair and all) in merely a day?
26. Is that fair? I don't think so.
27. Why is that I painted the entire ceiling (twice - OK I confess, Tommy did it once too but I did it twice) without getting much paint on me?...
28. And the dark blue walls - twice - again, not much paint.
29. And by the end of today (long painting day 2) - I had huge splotches of the trim and door paint on my old yoga paints, old t-shirt, in my hair, and on my shoes?
30. What's up with that?
31. Must be because I HATE TO PAINT and it's the end of day 2.
32. I have to be done tomorrow.
33. Because I have a nail appointment.
34. My nail lady's gonna be mad at me.
35. Because I ran out of gloves at noon today.
36. Three pairs weren't enough.
37. I've had half a bottle of wine.
38. Because I had to paint today.
39. I'm saving the other half.
40. Because I have to paint again tomorrow.

That is all.
