i can't even describe this thing called "my life" right now. there are no words -heck, thoughts to be put to words- at this point. now, before you think i've gone and got all emo with myself, let me explain. i feel like i haven't had time to think over the last...i don't even know how long. life has been just one big blur.
bbbbbbbbbbbllllllllllllllllllllllluuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. there you have it. one of those.
yikes, i hate when i get to this point of no return. well, i hope it's not that drastic. yes, yes there is hope. i know, this comment seems kind of out of place, but if you only knew how significant this revelation has been to me...yes, i DO have hope! amen.
on a seemingly random tangent (but aren't they all, this post?), i am reading 4 book thingys (plus other random devotional things) at one time, something i promised myself i would never do. i hope this feat stretches me as a person or something like that. and they are...[drumroll please]: effective prayer (R.C. Sproul), the hobbit (J.R.R. Tolkien), the Banner, and breaking free (my 1/2 hour a day for 5 days of the week Bible study book that i am already behind in because of extenuating circumstances, by the one and only Beth Moore). yes, a huge feat. i wonder if/when i'll ever get them finished...
sorry (in my very Canadian way) for the randomness of this post. but, i think i am almost due for one of these crazy/deep/random writings. it's been awhile since i've leaked my straight up peculiar self onto the screen...
and i WILL get on to putting those pictures on here. they are on my camera, just itching to be put onto a computer and posted for your viewing pleasure. but right here, right now, i just can't be bothered to do it. that, and i kind of like keeping you -the few, as i have lovingly dubbed you-in suspense. but not for long, seeing as some of you just might jump onto a plane (assuming that you're my mom or another person that lives in NS) and hold my life ransom until your queries are subdued.
until then...
chow for now.
ok, now to the finished product. this is the room in our lovely house that belongs to Hillary and i. we love it. and we hope you do too. if you do, let us know. do keep in mind that there will be curtains over the windows in the very near future. it is only through a series of very unfortunate events that they are not up as of yet...anyway, here you go!
on Saturday, R&H had taken down their bunkbeds, moved much of their furniture and belongings out of the room into the already catastrophically messy living room and kitchen, and spackled the many holes in the walls, among other things. crazy times. the roommates proceeded to sleep in the livingroom that night, amid their said belongings and perhaps all of the material possessions of the people of the house, for too many nights.
after taking a Sabbath on Sunday, early Monday AM found the roommies cutting in, painting one coat of primer and 2 coats of their fabulous paint choices. yes, it sounds simple and even elementary, but anyone who has ever attempted such a feat knows that there is much much more involved in this process. 
tensions DO arise and paint fights ARE had.
but really, besides learning how to backroll after painting a dark color onto a wall (since dark colors of paint are often thinner) to help it set and figuring out the best way to cut in or how to get paint out of the carpet, often, other more important lessons are learned. such as, being patient with your roommate when she needs to just take a break and how to be ok with life (and painting) not being perfect and how to love your roommate at the end of the day, no matter how frustrated you are that you didn't get it all finished in one day...
