Lessons Learned

Today I learned some great lessons:
  • When you only eat peanut m&ms and diet coke all day, your urine smells funny.
  • Commercial paint sprayers are harder to use than you would think.
  • Read the user's manual before using, not during use, especially when reading the manual off of your Droid, which looks better without paint.
  • If your husband tells you that the paint will run if you spray it too thick, believe him.
  • When your paint runs, try and brush it smooth before it dries.
  • After brushing the drips, you may have enough paint on your brush to get spots you completely missed.
  • Make sure you know which end the paint sprays out of before pulling trigger.
  • Paint sprayers put out a lot of air. This air can blow the plastic that you use to protect your carpet and result in painted carpet.
  • Wearing a mask is great, but eye protection would be helpful too.
  • Green mascara would not look good on me.
  • When I step in green paint with my shoes, and take them off, and then step in green paint with my socks, and then take them off, I will step in green paint in bare feet.
  • If your son doesn't want a pink room with Disney Princesses on the wall, you will go through a lot to fix that for him.
