I really do love painting
Today I decided to paint. It's great fun even if paint gets in your hair and on your contact lenses. Gratification is practically instant (it's CHANGE, it's CLEAN) since I don't really follow the rules. Yeah, I wiped down the walls. And I move the roller in that W way they show you on the home improvement shows. But I didn't keep a wet edge today.
Today I loved painting UNTIL I REALIZED THAT SOMEONE HAS BORROWED THE POLE FOR MY ROLLER AND NOT RETURNED IT. Which means that my reach is limited. "I'm limited, just look at me, I'm limited--and just look at you, you can do all I couldn't do, Glinda...so now it's up to you."
I didn't keep a wet edge because I got tired of going up and down the ladder.
And I didn't catch every spider web, but I'm gonna try to conceal all those little imperfections from Monique when it's time for her to do her job.
Also, that perfect blue I fell in love with four and a half years ago....uh, it's gonna require at least TWO COATS of white. Hm.
Glad you finally got started on that!!

Glad you're painting. I mean, the activity itself it totally therapeutic, and the fumes only add to the effect.

Don't know if you remember me, from Seattle. I just thought I would say hi, hope you are well. I'm living in NY now. Part of a new church. All my best- Cathy
I hope you have made much progress with your painting.
:)
Hiya Mike! Thanks so much for sending your little message via the Covenant Alums site--it is great to hear from you. And I am flattered that you would like to look at my Coupland work; I wish you were hear now to do some proofreading! BTW, when I have more time (it's 1:21 a.m. now) I will write and tell you about my experience of meeting and hanging out with DC. It's a sordid tale that involves my getting kicked out of a pub called the Dirty Duck! I like your BLOG and plan to become a frequent visitor--it's cool to get back in touch.
cheers,
Mary
