Before and After

I'm painting the living room to tone it down. The green was just too over powering and if I am going to sell this house come spring, it needs to be less harsh so I went with light neutral wall colors and kept the same draperies. Why not get new drapes? What, do I look like i'm made of money? Anyway, so I went with a cream color wall to brighten up this small, dark room and found some cream colored hand made paper like before. I'm only about 25% done but here's a preview and the before and after pic. What'cha think?

Before..........

After..........

Any thoughts? and if you hate it, keep your mouth shut because there's no way I'm taping this window off and painting it again!

Tag I'm It...

I've been tagged to do the "5 things you don't know about me" bit. I'm too lazy to tag people so treat this post like Medusa's head of snakes, all you had to do was lay eyes upon them and you turned to stone so if you see this post, consider yourself tagged!

Ok, 5 things you don't know about me....

1. I love Death Metal. Yes, I know I look like I should be listening to John Denvers greatest hits album but I really dig the hard stuff and Darrell from 5 Finger Death Punch is soooo hot!!!







2. I have immense fear of my future. Growing old, being alone, finances. Will I end up in a state home? Will I be able to afford both food AND medicine? Will I have to eat cat food and ride one of those stupid little rascals and worst yet, will I have to appear in a commerical for the damn thing singing "You made me love you" just to get one for free since i'll be too poor to buy one? Getting older all alone scares the hell out of me.

3. I can't touch paper after washing my hands unless I put a generous amount of hand lotion on them first. The feel of paper on my clean hands freaks me out and I get creepy chills. You might as well pour spiders on my head.

4. I'm not really as nice and giving as I seem, I just never learned how to say no to people. So this means I'm often doing things for people that I really don't want to do and I hate that about me. I'm spineless I tell you.

5. The song Merry Christmas Darling by The Carpenters makes me cry my eyes out. For some reason that song makes me cry over all the mistakes I've made in my adult life that has brought me to where I am now. I HAVE to change the channel when that song comes on...simply have to.

Urban Dictionary Entry

I can totally relate to this one. Not only do I have to receive said gifts, I have to give them. Well screw it, this year their all getting Starbucks giftcards.

Christmas cringe - The feeling of sudden and impending doom after receiving a gift from a coworker or classmate who gave you a gift in spite of the fact that you have nothing in common except that you are coworkers or classmates. This gift is always generic, pointless, useless and frequently related to some sort of poshlust fad.

Anna from the front row actually stood there and made me open it in front of her. I couldn't pretend I had no Christmas Cringe so now she's telling everyone what a bitch I am for not liking the light-up reindeer socks she gave me.

Repeating History

Remember the Trojan Horse scene in The Holy Grail? This is almost as funny. The Australian Prime Minister made a speech recently about the importance of learning the lessons of history- something to the effect that "those who do not study history are condemned to repeat it". Well, let's just see what happens when two Aussie larrikins decide to take him, shall we say, literally: Trojan Horse

Kiss

No, not this kind,

This is the type of kiss I mean. My best friend and I were talking today about kissing (not each other, go hose yourself down) and we both realized that we have dumped many guys simply because we couldn't bring ourselves to kiss them. They were nice, handsome, funny, all around great catches but we couldn't kiss them because they always had bad breath. You know, that, I haven't been to a dentist and had my teeth cleaned in 5 years smell? That smell of built up plaque along with the yellowing. The kind of breath that enters the room 5ft in front of the guy? Seems we both have run into guys like this to the point where we decided that from now on, we'll only pick up guys in dentist offices or their parking lots just to be sure we don't encounter those other guys again because you know you can't tell them. If you attempt to tell them, they get offended, embarrassed and then they are the ones who leave "the bitch who is just too hard to please".

So, guys and gals...if you want a kiss, go brush your fucking teeth first, ok? Brush hard, brush for at least 2 minutes, brush your tongue, floss and rinse. Then we'll kiss you till your teeth rattle and you HAVE to go to the dentist!
