Garth (not his real name) and I have been planning to paint our house for a long while, however, like most of our DIY projects (see also: all of them), preparing for one thing…leads to eleven more unplanned projects…which need to be addressed, first…before we can even begin thinking about starting on…ummmmm…wait, what WERE we talking about, again?

OH YEAH! Painting the house. Right. So, it doesn’t help that one of us is more of a…let’s just sit back and wait…perhaps think about this a little more, rationally…type person. While the other one of us is all…ohhhhhhhh, let’s just throw caution to the wind and get’r done, already…DAMMIT!!!
Guess which one of us is which. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

IT’S ME!!! I am so NOT a good sit back and just wait-er.
