Creative Painting Avoidance

my husband and i will celebrate our "6 month" anniversary in a few days, but we do not yet share a home. during the week, i live in Boston in my apartment and on the weekends i drive out to his place which is only about 45 minutes away.

this is why:

the whole entire house looks like this. this is what we found when we pulled up the 35 year old carpeting. the floors must have been used as one great big litter box to some cat with the biggest bladder on the face of the planet because there was so much damage, that sections of the flooring had to be pulled up and replaced. anyway, since i have a perfectly lovely apartment just minutes from my job, and to move my stuff in just to move it out when we redo the floors, makes absolutely no sense, we have two abodes. the plan was to have the house done by the wedding. HAHAHAHAHAHA! that was his plan. i knew better.

anyway, right now i'm supposed to be applying primer to one of the back bedrooms. painting is my job. i'm not doing it well. all morning i've been avoiding the whole painting situation by starting another crochet project -- and it's not going well. in fact, you might say it's butt ugly. notice i didn't post a picture. why is it that it's always better in my head than in reality? hmm? why is that?

on a totally different topic, i watched John Kerry on Meet the Press this morning. how refreshing is it to hear a presidential candidate respond to questions intelligently without once saying "we'll stay the course" and without having to have the questions submitted to him AHEAD OF TIME.

ok i'm off to prime.
