Give a Girl a Can of Spray Paint...

And she can spray everything except what she was aiming for!

Let's face it - anyone who knows me and the whole Jen attempting to paint the bedroom chocolate brown while Jeff was out of town in our old house story - know that I'm not a stellar painter. Okay, that's an putting it nicely - I royally suck! But, I will say, I am good at spray painting.

I'm going have to be honest and say that after watching shoe shines with spray paint for almost 4 years at Holt Shoe Shop - I think I got pretty okay at doing that.

So today, to prove that point, I went out and tackled the backyard patio furniture. My dad left us an old wrought iron table and chairs that were starting to get a little yucky. When I talked to him yesterday, he had told me he bought the set when he still lived in Chesterfield - so well over 12+ years ago. I figured Riley Miss Sue Sue (yes, we call her that) would enjoy an afternoon outside chillaxin. So I tackled 2 chairs and they look pretty stinkin' good. I'm going to try to get everything finished before tomorrow. I'll take before and after photos and get them up here.

But tomorrow I've got a pretty busy day - an appointment at 10, then I'm getting my hair trimmed at 2:30, and then the Cardinal's Game - where my non Cardinal boyfriend will be. Then it's off to Florida on Friday morning to spend some time with my daddio!

Happy Memorial Day!

Well, after over buying ribs, texas potatoes, brats and apple pie later - I'm super stuffed and I'm watching Jeff and Geoff play Mortal Kombat in the great room. Oh joy. Nothing like watching Wii games being played.

I will say that it has been a good day over all. My mom and Steve came over and we socialized and they just left. I learned that sometimes 4 lbs of ribs is enough to feed 5 people - I didn't know!

2 more weeks and I'll get to start my new job - I'm so excited and so grateful for this new opportunity. I know so many people that have waited for a new job for many months and hadn't gotten anywhere. Now for me, it is just arguing to be compensated from my old job accordingly. I'll be taking care of that first thing tomorrow. I don't want to put that off any more than I need to.

So, with that being said - I'm going to be a big fat couch potato, and then play Wii Fit a bit more - it's soo much fun!
