*I hate bullet posts.
*But it’s late Sunday night and I’m tired.
*God forbid I ever live by that “if you don’t have anything worthwhile to say, shut up” philosophy.
*I’m looking at you, cranky pants.
*I’m tired because I finally got around to painting my daughter’s room. Well - starting. So help him God my husband is supposed to be finishing the painting today.
*How wise do you think it was to entrust tone on tone striping to my husband?
*I sat in his lap and bawled for about 45 minutes this weekend. And at the end of said cry baby session he agreed to “just fix it, fix all of it, just… just… I just can’t do anything anymore!!!! wahhhhh”.
*I don’t think he realized that would include tone on tone striping.
*Bec nominated me for the Perfect Post award for that post about not being so judgmental anymore. How sweet is that?
*The irony is that post started percolating in my head when someone was mean to me.
*OH! and Bec said she was a lurker before. The idea of me having lurkers is just so funny to me. Especially when people finally comment and say they didn’t comment before because they were nervous. I am a generally nice person - in my comments.
*I go back to Iowa in three weeks. Wow, three weeks from today actually.
*I’m sad that I won’t be able to spend enough time with the people I really want to see.
*Including my mom.
*But I do get to see her. And I talk to her every day - so I’m way more lucky about that than I am sad. Because she’d beat my ass if I tried moping about it.
*OK, seriously, bullets suck.
*I really have to make sure I come up with something better tomorrow in case all that Perfect Post traffic starts flooding this way to see me in all my awesomeness!!
*But I’ll probably just post pictures of my daughter’s room. You’ve been warned.
*Have I give you enough options for things to comment on yet?
Posted in It's All About Me, just rambling
I hope you took before photos of Emma’s room. This should be interesting. And yes, I’ll be your alibi if you get home tonight and all of the “straight” lines are curvy, and you kill your husband.
OMG, whatever you do - don’t bitch if the lines aren’t straight. The man is a saint for doing it, holding you while you cried, listening to you bitch, etc. I’ve been married 25 years, and trust me, you’ll be happy you didn’t bitch when you screw up BIG TIME and he doesn’t say a word because you didn’t say a word.
It’s more nerves about not being as clever as your other commenters… :what:
Don’t know if hubby reads your blogs, but pass on my strongest warning to do so! Hmmm… color tones… oh yes, let me see: hair color experience 2 weeks ago; homicidal anger face self-captioned “I will cut you where you stand”
Oh, you have a job for me? Room-sized job, degree of difficulty: 9.9, involves both colors and VERY straight lines. Any knives in the house? (surely plastic ware has been mandated somewhere along the way).
For the hubby blog-tip: Wish I could get into my wife’s head to find some land mines the easy way. My current method is getting old. I’m asking her to start a blog tomorrow. morning.
I assure you that my stance on saying nothing when a person has nothing to say applies mostly to my own need to be perfect and the general insecurity that is my nature. I mean, you KNOW I care terribly much what other people think of me. Hell… I wouldn’t know what to DO with myself if people didn’t like me or something.
I don’t even know what tone on tone striping is, so I vote for letting him off easy if it isn’t perfect. ;-)
What is this tone on tone striping you speak of? Does it require a mixing board and sub-woofers?
i vote for both before and after photos! love me some photos.
try to take it easy on hubby when the paint job isn’t perfect. he’s trying. and emma probably could not care less. just remember to breathe.
hug your mom tight for me when you finally get to see her, k? i miss my mom and yours reminds me so much of her. i’m really glad you are getting to go back “home” for christmas.
Ooooooo tone on tone!! Way cool—and remember to cut him and yourself some slack sugar.
Please do pics!!
Actually, ADD me, “cranky pants” got me in this post, and everything else was pretty much filler.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
21 more days baby!!! (WHY is there not a “jumping up and down” smiley?)
avitable: I forgot to take pictures before we moved all the furniture out though, which pisses me off.
Bonnie: “saint” might be going a little far. I mean, he’s alright and all… but I don’t think saints offer “or you could have sex” as the solution to every. single. problem.
Or do they?!?!
b>Dee: I actually do get that - but only on those sites where people get like hundreds of comments because I sit there and sweat about what to say, and then realize NO ONE WILL READ THIS ANYWAY.
I can’t stand the thought of letting well thought out wit go unnoticed.
jflins: I’m not sure that mine does - at least not on a regular basis. And to be honest, I’ve always wondered why. If he blogged I would be stalking that bitch to try to figure out what in the HELL was in his head! LOL
RW:
Maria: pfft, I could give two shits less about perfect. Really. If I did it myself there is no WAY it would be perfect.
Gecko Rock: that reminds me - am I the only one who hears “drop it like it’s hot” and instantly thinks of that game Hot Potato??
hellohahanarf: I have been the one saying “pfft, good enough” and he is adamant that nothing will be done “half assed” like it was in the last ones.
And will definitely hug her lots. For us both.
Turnbaby: will do, will do, will do!
Mom: well, um, there’s this :sex012:
but I don’t think that’s right.
You know, there are people who can make bullet points really fun and interesting.
I think you need to perfect your technique, maybe.
I better get pics of Emma’s room. And, dear God, I hope you didn’t tell Jared that I encouraged the tone on tone stripe idea.
Glad you are going home for Christmas, it will be so great for you and so very cold and you will remember just how much you hate the cold.
Technically, those were not bullet points, you just kept putting little asterisks in front of sentences.
Also, I have no idea what tone on tone striping is.
By the way, the high here today is expected to be 26 degrees. Uh - Farenheit.
I
bullets but then I also 
lists.
Piss, bitch and moan. Can’t you put up bullets of happier things? Like puppies and rainbows?
Ok I kid. I like you just the way you are. I probably wouldn’t read you if you wrote about puppies and rainbows. Unless a flame thrower was involved. Puppies, rainbows and flame throwers might make it worth it. Then again, nah. Just stay the way you are.
Mmmmm… decorating… I totally turn into [insert the most annoying on screen interior designer here] whenever it has to be done. “Look how the light hits that wall in the morning so it needs to be fresh colours over there, and warm colours on the wall where the light falls in the evening. Oh daaaaaaaahling, it will be simply amaaaazing!”
And then I get the magnolia out and give in.
* Tone on tone striping ? Enough to throw any grown man into a state of apoplexy.
* Your hubby is calm under pressure. He’s a keeper.
* I like bullet points.
* They are business-like and efficient.
* There should be more bullet points in posts everywhere.
* If you keep using them I will personally nominate you for the ‘Best Use Of Bullet Points In A Post’ award. I hear it is a highly coveted accolade.
Wow… you hate bullets so much that you didn’t even USE bullets… you used asterisks!
Man, my lurkers must be scared shitless.
Just peering in your windows here. The view looks pretty nice from here.
You’re coming to Iowa? You do realize it’s colder than hell here, right?
Wait, I guess hell isn’t cold. So did that comment even make sense?
:violent018: Shoot the bullets I say!
AmyD: he he he he, I told him last night.
deb: now THAT I am sure of! I need to find mittens…
Mr. Fab: I know, I know. And ask Mrs. Fab, I bet she can explain tone on tone striping to you.
Mom: well if it makes you feel better it’s only 46 degrees here right now - and it’s only going to get to 69. Dang cold snap!!
Robin: I’m a bit of a crazy list love mah-self.
QofD: did you miss the rainbow about the perfect post? That was happy!!
Bec: yeah? How are you with a paint roller?
Selma: I might have to start training for this award…
Dave2: if I use bullets (ul) it makes the fucking lines to close together and it bugs me.
Diesel: well, yeah, your commenters are absurdly witty.
Al:
green3: up until 4 months ago, I lived in Iowa. LOL So, yeah, I know.
Velvet Verbosity: well thank you!
Bloody marvellous. Although the pain goes on better if you use one of those spongey pad things.!
Let me give you my address…
