YOu are SO WEIRD. Can I give you my office to paint for your birthday next month? That sounds like a fine plan.

Most of all, I'm puzzled why you went to all that trouble and then just painted the damn thing white. *boggled*

In conclusion...SPACKLING!!! I love to do it!!!

There really is nothing like living in your own handiwork, is there?

And the R.C. needs to stop fussing, put the thing together (really, there's only one way to insert or plug in anything on these modern cameras) and start having some fun with it. That's the way you learn.

Painting prep and then the painting is a lot like meditation. I love seeing the progress of the job and then the final result.

My bathroom is much smaller than your office, Meg. :) I did offer to help you paint the basement, remember? All you had to do was name a day--but you never did!

I was a little unfair to the R.C., Jonathan. Mostly, she was just having fun playing with the bits and pieces.

Someone might just mention that someone might have TOLD you to buy just a little paint, and someone might have TOLD you to pick something other than plain white. And that the whole project was someone's idea in the FIRST place. Just if you're going to be abusing someone, you know.

If I tell everyone that you were sensible before I started the project, I won't be able to justify making fun of you!
