The Story of a Girl, a Wasp, and Lots of Paint!



Today was one of those days that I will look back on and laugh. I decided that I should paint my room. And my desire was sooner rather than later, because....... well....... I am an impatient person. The  room I have always shared with my sister was in dire need of change.When I was itty bitty I had an obsession with Disney Princesses. And as a result, the room has been princess pink for about 10 years. Seeing as I have grown out of that obsession (my heart now belongs with Captain America and Doctor Who) you could understand my eagerness to paint it.

So first thing today was a trip to Home Depot, and right to the paint section.  Going to pick a paint seemed like seeking a cure for world hunger. Why are there sooooo many colors. I had no idea that there could be a trillion shades of light blue. I mean I don't understand how people were able to just walk up to the "great color wall" and select a color within 2 minutes. It felt like I was there for hours! And after making what felt like a monumental decision with my color, I discovered you still have to select a paint. Do you want matte or eggshell, interior, primer base 1 or 2. Ahh, why must there be so many decisions! At the end of it all, I came out with a really elegant pale blue.  I arrived home eventually and got started. And well.....it was an extremely funny day.
