painting...

SO I am finally painting. The guest bedroom of course since its the only paint color I could decide on. :) But let me tell you, I only have the closet done and I'm ready to be d-o-n-e! Lets just say the people that used to live here werent clean at all. Farthest thing from it. And their white walls in the closet were more like tan/yellow with random lines of 'stuff' (possibly animal urine.. ew!) on them. I will tell you even if that is what it is (because that is what it looks like!) it does not smell. Thank GOODNESS! Our closet has this also, so someday I will be working on our closet, which will be so joyous after I did this other closet which is much smaller then ours. Not that ours is big, its just very tall cause our bedroom has cathedral ceilings. Ugh. Anyways, I didn't take a picture of the closet before, because its gross, but I did take before pictures of the room. Also, painting white over white (no matter how dirty the walls are!) is never an easy task. And so I was covered in paint from being in such a small room having to paint on 3 sides of me and the ceiling and it wasn't very fun. I can not wait to paint the tan color I picked out so that i wont be squinting trying to see where I last painted! Before I can do that, I have to paint the bedroom ceiling. Gross. Not going to be fun. Oh and did I mention that the closet didn't have a coat of paint on it? We found that out when we went to 'wash' the walls. Yes, my husband wants to wash all the walls of our house before we paint. Now that may be the 'proper' way to do it, but I've never done that. It just seems ridiculous since were painting every square inch of our house. So anyways we did the bedroom then went into the closet and the "plaster" or whatever it is texture stuff just crumbles off the wall. Seriously. Lovely!

Anyways, I was suppose to be working today. I worked yesterday. For a long time. I am tired. And I just got a text saying that Harry has the flu so I don't have to work today! Yippee!! So now I'm going to go finish my Christmas shopping today! Not so excited about that, since I'd rather be home painting... OR NOT! Yay for having an excuse not to have to paint! LOL! So it shall wait one more day until I paint the ceiling... gag!

I think I'm ready to hire professionals to come paint the rest of the house! :P (in all joking, i would never do that because i do enjoy painting when its all said and done, but i'm super jealous of matt and jane because they had their entire house painted before they moved in. Not fair! this huge company with a bunch of guys came in and painted their whole huge house in 2 days flat. And I'm on my 3rd day of the bedroom being empty staring at me. awesome!)

Anywhooooo, this is all yous get for now. I want to make it to the mall before the crazy people get there (obviously I'm one of them! lol!) and hopefully get in and out quick! Well see how it goes! Anyways, soon I'll have pictures of the bedroom before.. and then in a few days (or a week! lol!) I'll have after pictures. Its a good thing Levi's dad is coming to spend the week next week so I have a reason the bedroom needs to be put back together... otherwise I'd have a feeling our hallway would have a boxspring and mattress stuck in it for a while! :P

Later dudettes!
