Who knew...

what a difference a coat of primer could make in a living room?

that yellow and black tiles would look soooo much better painted over in pure white?

that you COULD paint plastic black tiles pure white?

that we'd find a perfectly decent antique writing desk in the master bedroom?

that one's arm could get so damn sore from painting a ceiling?

that doing manual labor for 6-7 hours a day, every day, would make you hungry enough to eat the very house you're fixing?

that we'd fix the gate to the yard and be able to let the dog run around all day while we paint?

that Toto and the No Name Black Cat would get along?

that a Fiery Buffalo Chicken sandwich from Fuddruckers would taste as good as it did (same goes for the Bacon and Cheese Chicken sandwich from Bennigans)?

that I'd lose my damn Clinique spot gel and get two zits under my chin?

that I'd have paint in my cleavage a day later?

that it was already 9:15 and I need to go?

More later, I just felt bad for not saying shit.
