good morning campers......what a terrific tuesday it is!.......so i did not get the paypal thing going by april 1st...april fools on me...ha ha.....still working on figuring it out.....what i hear is that it is an all at once kind of thing......like it's not, i start with putting paypal up, then the next week i work on how to ship, then the next week i work on taxes, etc....nope it's once you start it's the who shebang .......which is a very odd word.....so i guess i'm dragging my feet....a little.. and it's hard to remember what day it is to keep on schedule.....i thought it was monday, but nope it's friday, of the next week....my bad
so my lack of knowing what day it is, i feel, is due to the major project i've got going on in my house right now...... retaping and spackling the ceiling....of a great room....with a cathederal ceiling.......that's extra high.....like 16 ft...........by the way....spackling.....strange word....very interesting though...the word, i believe, came about because these cave guys were trying to fix a hole in their cave and they were just standing around staring at it while the wind whipped through the hole, and this cave woman named spack came over and put clay in it, then the cave guys go " wow, spack just added clay and fixed the problem, that was spacktacular, (i thought that was funny) we should call that spackclay, or maybe spackle for short", so spackle was born........so know you know.... anyway, i've got this ...............wow....i just completely went brain dead on what is in my great room.....i keep saying spackle......scaffold........oh my gosh....well i guess it was close to spackle.....so anyway this huge scaffold is in my great room......we just walk around it, or under it, or through it, to get from here to there (funny things are everywhere...thanks dr suess)...kinda like going on a bear hunt.......so after i have pulled the majority of the tape down, and retaped, and spackled....3 times.....and i'm not the best spackler....is that a thing?....there is spackle from one end of the house to the other....plus on the dogs and numerous cats.....and me.....then comes priming.....which is the hardest thing to get off your skin .....little dots of primer are everywhere too......mostly on me....i have white freckles now.......plus i not only redid the ceiling but some of the walls needed retaped so all the walls got redone too.....kinda like ," if you give a mouse a cookie"...great book by laura numeroff...had to look that up..........now i have this great big white canvas to paint on....really excited about that!!!! so i told my mom what i was doing and she says, "so are you going to paint your room white?"......as normal as that sounds to most people....no i'm not.....i know she knows the answer before she asks the question, but i gather she's hoping normalcy will happen over here at some point.....ha ha ha......got a good laugh out of that an example of how our house is painted is... our addition (we added a large room on awhile back) is a beach...nags head actually, one bathroom is underwater (just painted, not really underwater, that would be bad), the other bathroom is a beach (my fav place, well not the bathroom, but the beach), kitchen is gypsy circus wagon (i'm obviously ahead of my time with my decor)...... so of course the great room will be the woods!.....3 dimensional trees and all.....very excited about the trees, haven't ever done them, so we will see what happens...might be spackling again........... ya know i had always wanted to make molds of hands, arms, and knees, and have it look like someone is falling through my ceiling.......but i'm thinking i would just creep myself out in the wee hours of the morning seeing that......... anyway...trying to keep up with my art marketing, scaffold walking, and tree making........it's gonna be a great thursday.....spackle over that........i mean tuesday.....be groovy!
