Primed and Ready to Go!

June 6th:

Today I was awoken by my friend LL entering my room and my mom saying, "I think she's still asleep!"

I had told my friend to come over at 10 to help me paint my room and had been planning on waking up at 9:30, but lo and behold: it was 10:30 and I was still asleep! Oops! Thankfully L forgave me and a half hour later we were suited up in our ugly clothes, ready to begin the process of covering up my beloved dark blue and vibrant green walls with thick, tough white primer...

Around two, two more fiends joined (shout out to G and R!) and we finished the entire room (with only one interruption - to let a coat dry and play FLUXX). I am exceedingly grateful for my three friends' help! It would have taken me SO much longer to do all the priming by myself, so thank you!

Despite many warnings, tonight I have been scraping paint off my wood floor -_-. Next time, I'm gonna have to enforce some sort of strict paint-drippage rule requiring a bottom-of-the-feet check every time someone leaves the tarps.

After all three left, I spent some time ATTEMPTING to remove all of the primer that had gotten into my hair, on my face, and all over my hands and legs. G, you WILL pay for making me go out in public with paint in my hair, just sayin'.

With a 6:30 dinner planned with King's alumna L, I hastened to Downtown Mountain View's Books Inc. Together L and I shopped for a gift for her friend, walked around looking for a place to eat dinner (and ran into a couple adults we know!), settled down for Chinese food (JUST realized that I had left my leftovers in my messenger bag! Better go get those in the fridge...), looked at doodads and tried on dresses at Therapy, purchased White Chocolate Raspberry and Bavarian Mint Gelato from Gelato Classico, and sat and talked for an hour or so upstairs at Red Rock Coffee Shop. On the way back to our cars, L and I ran into the same couple of adults we had seen earlier that evening! What a crazy-random happenstance! I love living in an area where it's so common to run into people that you know!

I had expected to get home around 8:30 or so, but no - it was 10 when I got home! Not a minute wasted! L and I talked about everything from gifts/love languages to mutual friends and summer plans. I really appreciate that the older generations who have graduated from King's are so awesome and willing to hang out with people they didn't even really know when attending high school!

Now that I'm back at home, I've realized that my room is a mess and smells horrid and that I have another two or three days worth of painting still to do before I can have my room back >.< But despite this, I'm thankful for everything that happened today and all that I have - I am so blessed by God with my friends, resources, and life in general!

Also, random fact for today: While cleaning my nose piercing this morning I found inside - wait for it - a grape seed. WHAT. A GRAPE SEED!! What the heck kind of thing is that to find in your nose? I WAS eating grapes last night, but to find a seed.... in my nose... That's pretty weird. Kay. That's all.

Keep it classy guys.
