Painting Lessons, Day Two

Um ..... I got nothing.

I didn't even paint today. Instead, I went to my kids morning assembly awards thingy, then drove to Sonic (shocker ... not) then came home and cleaned the downstairs because I was hosting a PTO luncheon, and then the nice ladies stayed all afternoon to discuss next year's calendar, but it wasn't even boring like it sounds, it was actually pretty fun but maybe that's just because I don't have many friends here and I'm desperate for female companionship, and now Kellen and I are fixing to go shopping at the mall for "nice" clothes because of the upcoming "formal" dinner nights on the cruise and the poor boy has nothing nicer than khaki pants in his closet and I can't have all those cruise people pointing their fingers at him and tsk-tsking in sympathy because his parents are too cheap and clueless to buy anything nicer than khaki pants, and I figure then since we're out, after the khaki pants extravaganza, we'll probably grab dinner somewhere .....

Hmmm. I'm starting to think *this* might be why it takes me a month to actually finish any painting project I start.

Little known fact....you paint much better and the project turns out looking nicer if you take regular breaks during your painting project. Really, trust me. I've found that sometimes a couple of days....or weeks or even more, can really improve the look overall.

Well, at least you appreciate it a whole lot more when the project is completed!

Besides, shopping is a motherly duty!

I love that you say "fixing".

I was also going to say I love the term "fixing". I am going to attempt to use it in daily conversation. My fellow Minnesotans won't know what hit them!
