paint chips
monday, it is, and i have the house to myself again woo! time to say hello to my friends on the "internets"! i have been painting, painting, painting (well, that and reading harry potter). no, not the fun kind, mostly the exterior trim and the tippy top high parts of the eves, which was all peeling and chipping which means scraping, sanding, caulking, priming and tall heavy ladders, borrowed from the neighbors. not that fun, though it is getting done slowly but surely (thanks mom!). homestudy is next week, too! is this why i decided to paint the house this week? perhaps. or it might have been Jo's recent debacle with lead paint chips in the new apt, incompetent landlord, illegal lease, searching for a new place with home birth impending any day now ugh. she's hangin' in there... i have not tested for lead here la la la, don't want to know. and I suppose it has been about a year now, enough time to draw out one paint job, methinks. should be done by the end of the week. still contemplating the tricky part (which involves me climbing onto the top part of the house lying on the roof and and leaning over to scrape and paint below) egads! but first, a few more minutes with my tea & breakfast, perusing blogland...

KEWH: You are sooooooo poetic..... never thought of writing about that kind of painting.....but you sure make me feel every creaky bone as I empathize! ..... My project this week is to do some tiling project/s.....have collected and smashed 10 cent cups at garage sales to be surrounded by my trademark mallard green grout, and will eventually sink the finished products into pathways I have carved into our new perennial garden.
