The Chronicles of Aqua Lung

Edited to say: E.Jo! I will post pics! Good idea. And yes, m'am! I had some serious fume buzzing going on. There was some question as to whether or not I should be allowed to drive home, but in the end, my co-workers who were there yesterday patted me on the back and said, "Well, be careful." We care for each other a lot, as you can see! Oh, and when I pulled into the garage, I crashed into some things. "Some things" being bicycles and the occassional scooter. You know, small things. HA! :-)
In case you were wondering, I did end up in a cloud of paint fumes yesterday afternoon. The results were mixed. My bookshelves are now beautiful shades of pink, purple, lime, and garnet. My short filing cabinet is aqua, and the door to my classroom closet is turquoise. My tall filing cabinet is banana yellow. I'm on the hunt for sheer curtains with banana, lime, garnet, purple, and watermelon polka dots. It's coming together nicely, but there is something on my mind that I have to share with you. I can't sit back and leave these words unspoken. You would think that there would be strict warnings on the spray paint cans instructing you to NEVER spray paint indoors. How could the makers of spray paint be so derelict in their duties? What's that? There are instructions stating to NEVER spray paint indoors? Hhhmmm. Must've missed those. Or thought they didn't apply to me. Or something. Ahem. Needless to say, I have a nice case of black aqua lung now. So, uh...yeah. Spray painting indoors. Bad. Scratch that one off the list. ((Random side note: the giant window was open. It just wasn't enough. Again, bad idea.)) How do I know it was a bad idea? Well, my aqua lime colored lungs are hurting, and I had the shakes until about 10:30 last night. I'm just saying. Paint outside people. 'Cause...Duh!!! ((Random side note #2: I am aware there are blatant health warnings on spray paint cans regarding painting indoors. In case you couldn't detect the sarcasm dripping from my words here. Ha! I'm just not berry good at thinking rules apply to me. Because my body is obviously impervious to biohazards and chemicals. PFffffft.))

Mommy of GardenPinkie and Pop of GardenPinkie will be going out of town tomorrow for 12 days, and they asked if the kids could stay the night with them tonight. HECK YEAH! Wahhoooo. I'm loving the random grandparent sleepover invites we get these days! DaddyPinkie and I are going to see a movie and grab some dinner. GET OUT OF TOWN! Unexpected grown-up time! SCORE!
