Paint

Kitchens and bathrooms are the worse rooms to paint.

I did not realize this when I went and bought paint for the kitchen.

We began last Friday, tomorrow it will be 7 days and have not completely finished the painting.

I had a MAJOR FAIL today painting the trim around two doors and a window.  I thought I had painted them really well, in fact, I thought to myself..."I sure wish Rob was here to see how well I painted this."

After I finished, I took a very small brush, like the kind that comes in the paint-by-numbers water color kit and went over to some trim that had previously been painted to do some touch up.  When I started to touch up, I immediately noticed that the paint looked gray!

UGH!!!! GRAY...THAT IS THE COLOR OF THE PRIMER!!! UUUUUGGHHH!! I HAD JUST SPENT 2 HOURS PAINTING THE TRIM IN THE PRIMER!!! 

So, I waited for it to dry and then painted the trim in the correct color and due to my over-zealous priming, I will have to put on a second coat :/

Waiting for the Inevitable

Even though I was laid off, things have actually been going really well.

It really scares me.

Inevitably, whenever I become too happy, too content, all hell breaks loose.

I always hope that nothing will happen....sometimes I think I may even self-impose the hell just to have some type of control over it.

I sure hope that this time, for whatever reason, things do not go bad.

I really enjoy being happy and content.

God's Plan

Getting pretty frustrated with the job situation.

I thought I had found the perfect job.

I thought it would be long term.

One month after being hired on permanent, I am laid off.

I just wish I knew what is God's plan for me.
