Guest Room Coming Together Etc. Etc. and Amen
Ahmagod. Wednesday night, the durlin' Angela and I busted our respective humps to get the drywall primer up and at 'em in the guest room. Only problem being we forgot to open any windows or, really, even the door, so found ourselves totally headachy and nauseated and STYMIED as to why that could possibly be..? It wasn't until we breaked for Project Runway (and dericious pasta with OMG-that-shit's-spicy-sausage prepared by the boy for his working ladeez), and breathed the (relative) fresh air of my living room that we realized our...uh...mistake. Genius comes in pairs, as they say.
Regardless, many giggles, much smoothing over of the primer - which had the annoying tendency to broadcast the nap of the roller and thus undo the several thousand dollars I had spent to get that room skim-coated and smooth...sweet! - and the occasional accidental face + roller event (sorry, Angela!) and we were done. And by done, I mean DONE. Though the plans were to paint the actual color (Benjamin Moore #1486) Thursday and tonight as well, I caved in a fit of "FINISH MY FUCKING HOUSE" yesterday morning (pre-coffee), and decided to hire Matt's roommate to knock it out today.
Fuggit, man. I just got an enuermo project at work, with a super tight deadline (design and build a DIFFERENT new web site, 2 tri-fold brochures, counter cards, a sponsorship campaign and media outreach oh by...hmm...let's see, how 'bout if it's DONE AND DONE by February 12?), which means - yippee! I actually am going to have some relatively serious cheddz to spend, but HOLY CARP. Pass the Xanax. And the Immodium. And the meth. And the comfy socks. THX.
So, right. Point of this post. The guest room is coming together and the study is NEARLY DONE!!!! Matt got the shelves up yesterday and they look so amazing. 100 feet of built-ins for my books and tchotkes! Ahhh! So, rather than going out to Gabors and getting shnookered as I'm wont to do, I corralled myself into organizing and unpacking all my books and wow...after separating out the ones I've never read, looks like this girl won't be hitting Barnes & Noble any time soon. HOWLY MOWLY. If you're feeling the budgetary crunch - but need some good entertainment - I suggest you also pull out the "unreads." It made me feel like I'd just gotten a bomb-ass present. A bomb-ass present by the name of THE DICTATORS (below):
A mere swath of the bomb-ass bounty
