Today I opened door number 3
and joined the world of painting bloggers,
whose work I completely admire.
Now granted,
this admiration usually occurs from afar, while sitting in my chair
with the AC blasting.
These painting bloggers are amazing in their talent and knowledge.
I am the Anti Paint Tutorial Blogger.
I was part of a DIY team today (with two of my daughters),
who have become very, very
BOSSY.
Five minutes in,
I was quickly demoted to third string painter,
and I was even accused of
“…trying to get out of things,
or skipping important steps in the painting process…”
Well, I never!
My first task was to
apply the primer to a campaign dresser that will
belong to Daughter #3,
once it is painted in a turquoise color called Beach Towel
and its brass fittings are all shiny and gold.
Easily distracted, I wondered if Zinsser makes
under eye concealer.
I am a slinger by trade, and when I complained about the primer,
I was then told to work on the campaign chest hardware.
This was a very hard job.
The previous owner of said campaign dresser
had spray painted the hardware with black paint.
(Truth be told,
I don’t blame them…
I feel their pain.)
This job involved dangerous,
toxic chemicals,
capable of removing layers of paint and skin.

Daughter #3 had started this job,
all while I shouted out non-stop, possibly irritating warnings of
“Danger! Be Careful! Wear those gloves!”

I was demoted from this job
when they caught me trying to dip said hardware in my silver cleaning
liquid in the kitchen
(with the AC blasting).

Stay tuned for the big reveal.

There really is a plan.
I’ll let you know
when they
let me know…
I wonder what my job will be tomorrow?
