A thorn in my side

Let me begin the story by saying that painting our master bedroom is a pain in the butt. So far we've stripped chair railing, stripped wallpaper, spackled, sanded, re-spackled, re-sanded, washed the walls (twice), put primer on all the walls, and put two coats of paint on the walls...ahh! And they don't look great yet, but we must keep pushing through because we HAVE to have a normal bedroom.

The new thing that I hate the most is (drum roll please)...a paint roller. They take forever to clean out...I swear that they have at least a half gallon of paint stored up inside of them after you're through painting! I stood in our front yard today for like 30 minutes spraying one clean and yes it was cool and there was a breeze and the water from the hose sprayed my clothes until they were stuck to me. So there you have it ladies and gentlemen...I hate paint rollers, officially. During all of this the other JK is being very productive by cleaning and sorting through our messy basement so that we can have somewhat of a decent house (thanks!).

The great thing is that I decided to do a Southern-type dinner tonight (yes, of course I, we both, miss the South). And we had one of our favorite things to eat, these delicious potato pancakes. They are incredible! Yes, a little fattening, but when you want to splurge they are awesome! I'll post the recipe later. Mmmm....mmmm!

But to end this post, after the frustration of the room and the paint roller, I'm sitting here with a glass of wine and watching My Best Friend's Wedding, and it seems pretty great right now...and after all, to quote one famous Southern belle, tomorrow is another day.
