A long time ago when I was a teenager I told my mother I wanted to paint my ceiling RED. Well back in those olden days the only way you could get red paint was to buy enamel paint. So I ended up painting my ceiling chinese red enamel paint. It almost hurt the eyes to look at it. My mother didn't say a thing. I bet whoever moved in that house after us tore the ceiling down rather than try and cover that paint.Linda Hendersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06496464041656744569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-91482971947443597102010-12-07T20:48:52.614-06:002010-12-07T20:48:52.614-06:00Stacey,

However, my hubby is too smart to fall for it. Or maybe it's just that he knows me better than that. If I even hinted that I was going to paint something or mow something, or build something, he would fall over laughing. My abilities are in the kitchen cooking, at the computer writing, and finding anything he loses. Thanks for stopping in.

Ahhh but when I was younger I made a stand or two lol. This is a real hair story lol.One of the things he liked about me was my long, long dark brown hair which I had for a very, very long time and it was tons of work. I even spent 3 years wearing wigs to work because I had a bossy boss who said "girls" could not have long hair, smoke, and didn't want them to be married. I got engaged anyway and he wanted to know what kind of birth control I was using!!! They got away with that crap back then. I didn't have to see this boss much and I liked my job so I put up with it. Anyway, years later during my lunch break I decided to cut all my hair off - well most of it lol. When my husband saw me he laughed and said - ok, take the wig off. Not this time!!!!catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-22039541877643341582010-12-07T12:44:04.771-06:002010-12-07T12:44:04.771-06:00A lot of women cut their hair after ditching their...A lot of women cut their hair after ditching their boyfriends...I completely redecorate my bedroom.

I think you're right that I kept getting them because the fumes affected my brain and sense.<br /><br />As far as painting goes...at one of our houses (we've moved quite a bit), I hated the guest bath wallpaper...h a t e d it! We'd painted over some wallpaper in the kitchen with good results so I wanted to change the bathroom. After trying to hang wallpaper three different times (we found out dh and I couldn't hang a straight piece...not one...even with idiot proof wallpaper with the cheat lines on the back--and this reminded us why dh didn't become a mechanical engineer--he can't draw a straight line with a ruler--which is fine, because being a computer engineer, he doesn't have to!)...we finally went to the store and got some paint...whore pink...painful to look at, and I won't even try to explain how it felt cheap just to be in the room! The next week I called my daddy who came over and hung some wallpaper!

The only way to describe it is "Baby poop yellow". What wild hair possessed the previous owners I have NO idea. The master bedroom is now painted a subdued dark lavender color, but if you look on the ceiling in just the right place you can still see a line of baby-poop yellow LOL<br /><br />I can't wait to read your YA...believe me, one way or another I'm getting my hands on that book!

I've learned that if I want him to do some kind of house project, I have to start trying to do it myself in order to get him off his duff. I recently attempted to build a latticework patio cover. It looked like something from one of those commercials for children's charities where they show the poor kids living in the lean-to slums. But once my husband fixed it, it actually looks pretty nice. I do a lot of writing outside now. And BTW, I love the wall!
