Dropped the kiddo off at kindergarten this morning, then came back home to paint the inside of a cabinet. We’re trying to figure out if we can just paint our 1960’s era cabinets and still achieve the look we want (namely, a kitchen that’s not stuck a time warp) as opposed to getting them refaced or something more expensive. (I was going to take a picture of the cabinets, but the digital camera seems to have gone missing. That’s not good because I was gonna eBay some stuff later. Phooey.)<\/p>\n
Note: Do not use oil based paint unless you have turpentine standing by. The paint got all over my hands. I tried to wash it off as best I could, but that wasn’t very well. While it dried on the cabinet, I thought I’d try to play a game of Katamari Damacy<\/a> on the new PS2 my hubby got for my birthday (call it a gift to us both) but I managed to crack the CD with my sticky hands. Okay.<\/p>\n But worst still was that when my daughter’s kindergarten teacher called to say that my child had thrown up in the hall on the way back from music class, I had no way of getting the white goop off of my hands. Olive oil helped some.<\/p>\n You remember that episode of the Simpsons where Lisa gets gum in her hair and everybody’s got a suggestion? Yeah, it was like that. Anyway, it’s mostly off my hands, and I feel certain that my daughter’s stomach acid has managed to loosen a good portion of it as well.<\/p>\n Add to that that I had to cancel my optometrist appointment – my glasses are currently down to one earpiece – and you have a not so hot day.<\/p>\n
