SLOPPY

(pitchers before and then after finished by Gary Rith)
So I am thinking "the wife is out of town, therefore I can scrape and paint around the windows upstairs, and do a sloppy job and she will NEVER NOTICE" but then I am realizing that it doesn't matter, because she and I are very yin and yang and I WOULD NOTICE a sloppy job and therefore if I am gonna do it, I am gonna do it carefully and neatly. Not as neatly as some, but not as slobby as my lazy self theoretically might do. Like around the kitchen when I clean up: as I say, me and the wife are yin and yangish, and SHE always notices all the crumbs and coffee spills in the microwave, the dirt along the baseboards, and I NEVER would notice that in a million years. However, a little peely paint around the windows? As much as I hate house projects, I gotta do it.
Except today I am like "who wants to paint, I wanna make more pitchers!" (see above--I am on a pitchers ROLL) but then I am walking the dog and John over in the immaculate pretty yellow house over by the PO is outside scraping and painting and he is like "hey, I saw you out at The Haunt Friday!" and its like, we were partying on 2 different sides of the same bar, anyway, I get to feeling like "dang, he is painting his place, now I gotta go paint ours" and as I start I find and kill 3 yellow jacket nests and later there is a HUGE 4th one, which I am still doing battle with. I hate yellow jackets. But scraping and priming is done, paint goes on Monday :)
