I Suck At Painting

On Sunday, my friends (Marc, Kelley) and my BFF (Kerry) came back to our house to finish painting our first floor bathroom. The day before, Kelley and Kerry were only able to prime the room and paint the ceiling. Thus, all that was left to paint in our first floor bathroom were the walls.

Apparently, when it comes to home improvement projects, both Kelley and Kerry like to finish what they started. I guess you can say it is similar to how I like to complete things... like reading the god awful Twilight series. It just has to be done.

It also turns out that Kelley is quite particular about painting. Luckily for me, I suck at painting. I have never liked painting. I'll do it, but I don't like it. Kerry and Kelley could have painted the entire white ceiling the same color as the walls and I probably would not have cared. (And actually, they did get some paint on the ceiling while painting the walls, but it's okay.) I was just thankful that they even wanted to paint the bathroom for Karen and I in the first place. Plus, it's always a memorable moment to see Kerry and Kelley's faces speckled with paint.

Needless to say, Kelley meticulously went over the ceiling to touch up all of the errant paint marks. It was a little comical because she kept incessantly checking the paint while it was drying.

While that was happening, my friends (Renee and Christine) stopped on by for a quick visit. Both Renee and Christine were saddened that they could not have helped the day before when a whole slew of friends were helping out with projects. And truthfully, I'm not sure I would have had any more projects for them. As it was, I was stretching to come up with projects to subject my friends to. There are just some things I would never ask my friends to do. It would be like asking my friend (Hot Amy) to sweat... because she doesn't like to sweat.

Needless to say, Renee and Christine had decided to come down on Sunday instead. (For anyone curious, like Kerry, Renee lives on the north shore.) Both of them ended up helping Karen run a little errand at the grocery store. So it was great that they helped out.

It was good to see everyone on Sunday. And for anyone curious, Kelley and Kerry did finish painting the walls of the bathroom on our first floor. They did an amazing job. Thanks again Kelley and Kerry!
