My car is making funny sounds. It doesn’t look good, kids.
Obama has picked Biden. Am very happy about this. No idea why.
Got some fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, a red onion and fresh garlic from the CSA this week.
Tomorrow, I shall gather those ingredients, toss them in a pot and make some homemade pasta sauce.
I’m also planning on getting a mani/pedi because sometimes the Long Island in me is unstoppable.
Also, I have been instructed to begin painting the trim and molding around the house. The walls came out so well that now the boring white parts look, well, boring. And white. And a bit dingy. My roommate bought the paint already which saves me the hassle of running to the store.
“Oh! You bought white paint so I can do the molding?”
“Laura. It’s not white. It’s almond.”
“You realize that you are very, very gay?”
“Completely.”
So, yes. I will be painting the house almond. It’s worthy to note that RENOVATE THE APARTMENT 2008 has become an alarming obsession. The aforementioned Homosexual Roommate walks in the door with Home Depot bags EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Lighting fixtures, new light switch plates, primer, coat hooks, you name it. The kid is on a roll which is very ironic because he leaves on tour in a few weeks and won’t be around to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
“OMG LAURA! I BOUGHT SILVER DOOR KNOBS!!!”
“But…we have door knobs.”
“But they’re not silver and they definitely don’t match our new place.”
“We don’t have a new place. We just painted an old place.”
“Stop ruining my fantasy.”
In between me going to sleep on Monday night and waking up Tuesday morning, he installed track lighting in our hallway. TRACK LIGHTING. It illuminates…the hallway. And since the walls are pretty bare right now due to the fresh paint job, when you turn on the amazing track lighting, it casts a huge heavenly glow on…a blank wall.
Speaking of which? We painted our living room a chocolate brown and the name of our paint was Pocahontas. Does anyone else find that racist? Anyone?
I probably should not be up right now talking about this. I have lots of almond molding to paint tomorrow and a rip roarin’ birthday party to attend tomorrow evening. So, please pray for my car which is making a thumping/clacking/BOOM BOOM BOOM sound that can’t be good. And also, please pray for my homosexual roommates. I hope they find the Lord Jesus but I really really hope they never stop going to Home Depot because OMFG DID I MENTION THE TRACK LIGHTING!?!??!?!!?
At least the trim paint isn’t called Cracker White! I guess that would be Almond! But yes I think Pochahontas is racist, as far as paint color goes!
Right!? It’s so wrong somehow!
I cannot BELIEVE that you have TRACK LIGHTING in your HOUSE. Track lighting is, like, the definition of fance.
You crack me up, dude! Can you please lend me a few gays, I am a quart short here in conservative Orange County (and yours shop at Home Depot and install lighting, and they frickn KNOW those trim colors). I found out the Barack news from you, too! Woot woot! Vote for Peace! Cute post, Laura. JenK
Laurie! The track lighting! Is magnificent! Come over! For real!
Jennifer! I am totes voting for peace. And by peace, I mean, not Republican. Dude, my gays are AMAZING. They are gay enough to dress me well and choose correct trim colors but straight enough to take out the trash and go to Home Depot. I’m thinking of living with them forever in blissful single harmony.
PS y’all, I just finished painting the molding and it took me roughly four hours and was NOT AT ALL FUN. But the almond? Oh the almond is GAWGEOUS.
