I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's pretty funny, Jesse.

I'm not too enthralled by two-weeks-ago Scandal*, but I'm kinda surprisingly into Grey's again. I suspect this is just how it goes for me and Shonda - sometimes I'm glued to her shows and sometimes I'm just meh, but if I keep watching I'll probably get interested again.

ETA: *Although Mellie and whatshisname making out in front of the First Ladies' portraits was kind of awesome

First five photos here show what I decided to embark on a little after 9 tonight: [link]

Color in the photos isn't true. I'm very happy with the result. The flash picks up the places the stain didn't take like whoa, but it is less obvious in reality. Still, there will be measures taken. I was surprised, actually, at where it didn't take. There was paint soaked so deep into the grain, nothing could get it. That was fine. Random dings and other just weird spots. I'll be using a tinted varnish (and possibly sharpie/paint) on the stubborn bits.

PRO-FUCKING-GRESS.

And it wasn't even that big a deal. Now, I'll have plenty of paint to touch up after this (though it was amazingly unmessy,) but hey, I'll need a new project, right?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

We have lots of projects for you over here, sarameg.

Screen door to either strip/repaint/rescreen or just build a new one (probably easier,) paint porch floors, little wall around the back postage stamp yard, moulding throughout the house that's easier to replace than repaint, new front storm/screen door, plaster work from water damage, the bits falling off the trim on the porch, repaint the ceiling with killz in the room that originally only got primer....that's just the stuff I can do myself. And WANT to do. There just not enough hours. I have this stupid job thing.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You don't need a year for that to be true

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just had to tell my mother that there's a leak in their brand-new bathroom. As she says, good thing they have a ton of extra tiles! Because neither one of us can think what they can do to fix it other than rip everything out....

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I know there are some things that need doing around this place(looks at closet door sitting against the wall) but we need to find the time to get people to do them.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Extra tiles are such a good idea, seriously. Even, if like having an umbrella on hand, it tends to prevent a problem.

Problem That Might Be Gallbladder is very painful this morning. I think I may call the doctor's office and see if they'll give me something strong than Mere Tylenol.
