beetlejuice, beetlejuice, beetlejuice

so let's call a spade a spade.  jo-ann is a dumb b and i am never going back to that store if i can help it.  everyone there is ancient and i brought the median age down to 80 which doesn't say much for those old hags (sorry, that was mean).  ancient also translates to slooooooooooooow.  they sell gaudy fabric but no reupholstering tools in sight.  uh i was so angry being in there.  then once i finally found what i needed, it took 5 hours to check out because flo at the register was taking her sweet ass time.  however i did get a "my first craft box" so that was pretty sweet.  now all my goods are martha stewart organized.

so then i went to home depot and got some paint, nail gun and tacks, very uneventful.

once i got home i decided to paint (yep, wild friday night!) the chair what i thought was a mustardy, marigold yellow.  nope-ola!  my basement lit up like sunshine.  so i decided i would keep calm and carry on and deal with the paint change when all was said and donezo.  so here are some pics.

i hope the final project comes out better because all that kept running through my mind as i was nailing was geena davis saying "beetlejuice, beetlejuice, beetlejuice."

the ghost with the most babe.

sleep with one eye open.

lou really is baby stewie.  this is a picture of creepy lou watching creepy colin sleep.

tonight is the night is the night of love

word to ur mother.  i just found out i get out of work at 2pm.  thank G!  this means i can go to joanns fabric and wander around pretending i know 1.) what im doing and 2.) what im looking for.  hopefully joann (or maybe even joanne) will be there to guide me.  then i can write more posts.

i think i set the bar too high in my previous posts because i really have nothing to say or write about it.  whomp. whomp.    i am no longer giving kelly oxford a run for her money and i humbly accept that.  i am the worst domestic divas for dummies there is.

stay tuned.

procrastination nation

clearly and unsurprisingly, i did no work on my chair this weekend bec i got my nails done and didn't want to mess them up doing manual labor.  well actually i lie.  i primed it last night.  so now its streaky white and i still have primer all over the back of my arms.  no clue how i even got it there.  now i cannot figure out what color to the paint it.  maybe i will paint it to match my nails.  cheers!

back to the infamous green chair....

whelp.  here she is.  isn't she a beaut???  after i got it, i said to myself, "self, are you sure you want to take off this glorious velvety olive seat that sinks all the way to the ground when you sit on it?"  after weighing my options, i decided i was gonna go for it for the sake of this blog and the entertainment of my "followers."

So drunkenly the other night, this is the progress i made.  it's amazing how much easier things become when you do them drunk.  fabric came off like it was nobody's business.  it pretty much jumped off the chair.  now that i have done this i have no clue what im supposed to do next.  but i am a firm believer that as long as you have the computer and the internet, you can learn anything you set your mind to.  so im gonna enroll in Google University and figure out what im supposed to do.  I also can't decided what colors i want to make it.  my original though was something wild and being the cheeseball jersey girl that i am, i immediately though animal print.  all i said to colin was, "i just dont know what color to paint it." (knowing fully well what i really mean was, i'm gonna paint it bright yellow with zebra print fabric).  he responded "please, no animal prints."  WTF?????  this is my only chance to shine with leopard and zebras galore since it has been banned from my house.  anyway...suggestions on color????

please note future project behind chair.  i hate that clunky ass thing so much it makes me angry.

casting call.

*********UPDATE********colin's response to this post:  "do you really think about us being a creative couple a lot?"  ummmmm...

so i'm looking for a new leading man in my future movie.  colin's response to my new found blog:  "i didnt know you had it in you." (what the hell does that even mean???)  and "well, now if you have people following, you actually have to do it, not just two entries."  JERK.  therefore, has been demoted from supporting actor to extra.  im thinking david becks would be purrrrrrfect for the role.  actually maybe jason statham would be more appropriate since colin is his dobbleganger anyway.  here's an actual photo of colin takien while on the job:

yes.  colin is a chef.   i know what you're thinking.  my what a creative couple!  trust.  i think about it every day.  it's hard having two such creative minds under one roof....
