When good projects go bad......

Hi all,

I get bored with my house ,ya' know? In Chicago ,I used to paint my kitchen a different color at least once a year. I'd rearrange the furniture about once a month.

Well, in this house there's really no where else to put the furniture and you can't paint any of the main rooms ,because it's basically ONE main room.

A girl HAS to do something ,right? Months ago I bought some wallpaper with the brilliant idea that I would make a "wallpaper back splash" in my kitchen. Kick things up a bit.

Picture it....yesterday.





I get up all raring to go on my little project. Honestly, it was such a bad hair day, I couldn't go anywhere.












I move all the stuff off the counter. Remove a million outlet covers.










Oooh! progress.......









(this is not trimmed yet) But it's getting there.
I nearly have the whole thing done.
What do I see? Oh sweet, the glue is not sticking where the seams meet.
Time to improvise. I get a little putty knife and put some elmers glue behind the paper ,on the seams.
By the time I do that , I realize that the entire paper is NOT sticking to the wall at ALL.








Lovely. I am so damn mad as I rip the whole mess right back off the walls.


The elmers glue ripped the paint right off the walls.












Cavuto wondered "what in the hell is wrong with this woman?"

I was so mad and disgusted I left the disaster sitting there and went and took my nap.




Needless to say, I spent my evening screwing a million switch plates back on, painting the bald spots,cleaning my kitchen back up and washing that spice rack that I haven't washed in 4 years.

good times my friends, good times.


Have a great day Peeps!

Luv me
