My mother and I began painting the bathroom yesterday at around 11 am. Well, not actually painting by 11, but putting up tarps, and tape . . . you know . . . painting preparation stuff.
I talked to my older younger sister today and she made a good point. She said "painting always seems fun and easy at first, but in the end, it's just a huge pain in the ass." Unfortunately, you never remember this until well into the process or "the point of no return". Even now, knowing how difficult this has been I still want to paint what will be known as "The Penguin Palace". For some reason I think it will be easier. . . it's hard to explain.
Speaking of "Penguin Palace". . . I know many of you are eager to hear more about the details of this mysterious project. Unfortunately, as I have said before, I will not be revealing any details until it's completion. The only way to really find out more is to make a trip out here and help with the project ( I am referring to only my siblings of course . . . siblings-in-law and practically siblings-in-law included {you know who you are})
So that is what I have been doing for the last two days. It's going to be a long process, a very long process, but soon, nobody will mind staying here anymore. That is my promise to you.*
*In order to help make this promise possible donations are currently being accepted. Make checks payable to CASH. Thank You.

When do we get photos?
patience anonymous, patience. Besides, nothing beats seeing it in person . . . although the walls and the cabinet have been painted there are still things that need to be done before I feel comfortable showing pictures. For example, the baseboards still need to be painted white . . . also we still need a new medicine cabinet, and a new light fixture. All things that would happen a little bit faster if donations were being made.
alas i cannot make the trip, even though i have oodles of time and am chomping at the bit to be useful in some way, but i'm sending you good vibes because i know how much home improvements suck while you're in the middle of completing them.
good luck!
Perhaps I will be out to see this new bathroom. The hubs wants to take a road trip this summer. Unfortunately, I think even if you didn't clean/paint/fix the bathroom it will still be the cleanest one we'll see the whole trip.
Anonymous #2 - I feel like I don't know who this is. I want to say it's my oldest older sister, but she would never go on a road trip with her "hubs". Please reveal yourself.
Yes I would. I thought I'd try a new word. You don't like?
For the record, Mom is the one who convinced me it wasn't you. Although I don't really see you and your "hubs" going on a road trip because if I remember correctly, you have stated several times that you will never get in the car with him again. This may have been an exaggeration at the time, but I feel that a car trip would definitely be out of the question, unless someone else was driving and you were both in the back with a dark piece of glass preventing both of you from seeing through the front windshield.
Many things get said in the heat of the moment, and I didn't mean I would never get in the car with him again. But I do like your idea of having a driver.
