I’ve been feeling alot more like myself these days which means I’ve been on super hyper mode as my body is playing catch up from 2 1/2 years of being practically motionless.
I’m one of those annoying naturally hyper people, yeah the real annoying naturally hyper people. When MG and I first got married he was (kinda) ok with my hyper mode, it got the house clean and furniture moved. As the years passed and my condition worsened I moved my hyper activity from moving my body to only using my arms…hence the knitting. I still knit regularly, still working on that Every Way Wrap…damn thing is long! However now I can do more stuff like clean, laundry, unclutter and PAINT!!
When I lived alone I painted my apartment like 12 times. I’d switch colors from room to room, play around with weird swatches and redecorate every area just for kicks. I mainly painted in the winter when I would get snowed in and had nothing to do. In the warmer weather I’d just jog or hit the gym to help relieve myself from all the extra energy. Most of the time no one knew I even painted anything because if I thought something I did sucked I’d just take my plain white and cover up the ugly then start all over again.
I have painting issues. I know.
So now that I feel better I’m back to where I was 2.5 years ago and that’s “This bedroom needs to be painted like yesterday”. Before we got preggers with Gray I was in the middle of convincing MG that our room should be painted a nice chocolate brown. At the time we didn’t own a ladder that would allow me to tackle this project but now? Oh yeah, now we have a ladder…a good one. >:) MG is now ok with the brown walls (well we’ll see how ok he is when I start painting lines of different browns all over the place) but he’s not ok with me painting his old dressers white. >:| The furniture is old, like really really old. It’s his grandparents old furniture that has served us all well but we (and I mean all of us) haven’t taken care of these pieces at all. The wood is holding up well but it’s scratched and water marked like crazy, it’s sad and ugly from all the neglect. MG and I have already said that once we can we will replace this furniture so my theory is, if I paint our existing furniture then it’ll last us a few more years. (also, we just bought a new bed so I’m not into spending on new furniture unless it’s a couch. An L couch to be exact)
I’m also thinking about painting Gray’s room Tiffany blue and her bathroom hot pink. Both colors were vitoed by MG because he was painting the baby room. (stoopid fumes) Otherwise I totally would have painted them myself. What does a guy know about girly girl rooms anyway? pfft
