Yay, sj!
Mal: Then I call it a win. What's the problem? Inara: Should I start with the part where you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, or the part where you have no clothes?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

sj, AWESOME!!!!
GUYS, I painted!! We did -- Dan is doing the edging now, and we will need to add a second coat tomorrow. I will put pix up in a bit, but the pics don't do it justice -- it's a dark hallway.
But I LOOOVE the color! Love it! It's called Peacock Tail by Behr and it's a tealy-morocan blue hybrid, and it's so pretty, and will look great when I get my stuff hung up there. I have wedding gifts I asked for and got 2 years ago stillin the boxes because I was waiting to paint my ugly-ass hallway!!
I've never painted before. I'M MAD WITH PAINT POWER NOW!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Congratulations, sj! So excited for y'all.
Woo, Erin! PAINTING POWER.
I failed at napping, due to excess coffee at brunch. Now I'm up, have washed dishes and pulled out chili and rice to thaw, and am seated with a big Jack Skellington mug of peppermint tea to get productive. Maybe I'll do my nails as a reward later.
Shir, sorry about the fractious day. Hope tomorrow is better.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yay, Erin! I keep asking when I get to move on to the fun stuff like picking out paint colors. I have been living with boring apartment colors for too long. Although I won't be doing any of the actual painting because of my asthma. That will totally be up to TCG and my father-in-law.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Painting is awesome, isn't it?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Painting is super awesome. It's so very satisfying. And it makes a huge difference for the amount of money it costs.

SJ I wonder if you could tolerate low- or no-VOC paints. I HATE the smell of regular paint, and have happily used a brand called Yolo (no-VOC) and Benjamin Moore's Natura (which is I think only low-VOC but still not at all fume-y compared to regular paint). They are a little more expensive, but in the scale of things paint is relatively cheap.

It IS awesome! And this paint smells hardly at all, and has primer added. I walked out of Home Depot for $49, with a gallon of paint, a tray, a brush, a roller and roller holder.
WOO.
Pix are up on FB.

OMG. My friend who is joining me on the trip to PV, where I am paying for not only the housing but also her freaking PLANE TICKET, is now like "ooh, it's so early, I don't know if I can get to the airport". I'm like, seriously!?!? FIND A WAY. If you miss the flight and waste my money/time/energy/frequent flier miles, I will freaking cut you. Or at least never fucking speak to you again or do you any more favors. Jesus. (My flight is about two hours later, so I don't have any intention of getting to the airport four hours before my flight--also, my roommate is driving me, so getting her up at 5AM on Sunday is not happening).
