A Glutton For Punishment
That describes me in a nutshell. I had to open my big mouth a while back and now I am stuck with it. I even blogged about saying it. All because I want MY room painted in MY colors. If it were up to the Beast, it would be the same blah beige. All because HE overbuys.
However, I DID state that I would paint my own room. The Beast, however, has to paint the ceiling before I can do my walls. He was supposed to do it today but the craft table he made for me took more coats of finish than he thought it would. Six, to be exact. It was like a sponge and, yet, it was a good piece of wood.
I never did tell you about my craft table, did I? I thought the Beast was making himself a desk. He had been talking about it for a while so when he bought the good piece of wood for the top, I assumed that was what he was making. It wasn’t until after the legs were on and a front piece attached that he asked me if I wanted a drawer on it and my mouth hit the floor. At first, I thought he was making a practice desk for ME but he told me he thought I needed a craft table that was better than the table I gave to the Princess to use for her house. He felt this one would be better suited and would allow me to leave my sewing machine up (just covered with the plastic cover for it) and still have plenty of room for my paints and ceramics.
So….even though I painted the trim in here, I won’t be able to paint the walls until either Tuesday or Wednesday since the Beast goes to Atlanta for the day tomorrow. He has a Photo Shop Instructional day that he paid for that takes place there. Since he found out he’s got until 10 am to register, he’s leaving here at 6am and should be there in plenty of time to take part in the whole day. It means he won’t be home until around 9pm at the earliest. If he is up to it on Tuesday, he will paint the ceiling in here early so I can get started. I figure I will empty the rest of my shelves in the bookcase and my dvd shelves while he’s gone so we can take them down/out Tuesday morning. Everything else in here can just be moved away from the walls since it’s just my desk and the TV and it’s stand. Oh, and the wastebin and recliner.
Those will be covered up anyway until the ceiling is done.Did I tell you that Baron has pretty much given up and is using his bed and pillow to sleep on these days? At least he does until we are deep asleep and then he sneaks up on the bed but he stays at the foot of the bed now. I just love how he makes a kind of deep *wuff* when he’s laying down to go to sleep at night. It sounds more like a doggy sigh.
He IS using the pillow for his head and, when he sneaks up on the bed, he uses my feet for a pillow. My daughter read my blog yesterday and commented that she is still afraid. We talked about it a bit on the phone and she’s also very angry at him and upset that he could think he could talk to her like he does. He has said some vile things about her and accused her of things he has no reason to say. He has no clue what her life has been like since she left him. He needs his brain removed…IF he has one, which I am really not sure about. Can someone live without one? Perhaps it’s just that only a small part of it is used. LOL….we could recycle his when his karma catches up to him.
Time to go once again. Thank you for stopping by. Love you all and hope you have a wonderful day. I will be busy for the most part but it will be a happy busy.
