I went to see a movie last night all by myself. It was glorious. I saw Stick It, and I loved it. A lot like Bring It On, which I also love, but with gymnasts. I’ve always wanted to be a gymnast. I’m fairly certain that the only reason I’m not an Olympic gymnast is because we were too poor for gymnastics when I was a kid. I’m sure that’s the only reason.
I used to be really good at handstands. I could out handstand my entire volleyball team.
Anyway, I need to do that more. Get out by myself. Take a break. Thanks, Derek, for taking care of the kids and cleaning the whole house. You’re the best!
Bathroom update: I am offically sick of stripping wallpaper. Our bathroom is two seperate rooms-the sink room and the toilet room. I haven’t even started stripping paper in the toilet room, and I am seriously considering just painting over it. I have run into a few problems taking the wallpaper down. First, it’s stripping off some of the wallboard, which means a lot of spackle, sanding, etc. to get the wall smooth. Second, the doorframes were caulked over the wallpaper, so I am having the hardest time getting the paper off around the doors. Ugh.
Anyone have any experience with painting over wallpaper? Is there any reason why I shouldn’t just paint over the toilet room?
The good news is I picked up some more paint samples and I am getting very close to deciding on a color. And, my sister is coming to visit this weekend, and she is going to help me with painting! It will be so much easier and so much more fun with a painting partner.
Have you tried using diluted vinegar (1/3 vinegar to 2/3 water)? I used it to take down a border and it worked like a charm.
Thats what I was going ot put, the vinigar trick. LOL
If you do decide to just try painting over it, let me know how that turns out. I’m really temped to try it in my bedroom.
hey mama-
i can’t wait to see the bathroom! i need to get workin’ on im casa too!! love you! hope you are feeling better!
I was just talking with a friend about painting over wallpaper – she was told to texture/spackle over it first and then paint. I am soooo going to see that movie alone one day this week!
I am so jealous you saw Stick It and even more jealous it was all alone. Have a great day tomorrow. Love ya!
Yea for you for getting to go to the movie ALL BY YOURSELF! That is priceless!!
I hope the bathroom project goes well!
Oh…I’ve definately painted over wallpaper before. We used several coats of primer to cover up the wallpaper and then painted the color we wanted. You couldn’t even tell there was wallpaper underneath.
A movie by yourself? Doesn’t that classify you as a loser? What’s next, eating my yourself?? NOOO, NOT THAT! Can’t wait to help you with the bano project!
Oh I want to see that movie SOOO bad!!
