i know we need the rain...

but it makes it very difficult to finish painting the kitchen table and chairs. although, i have finished painting, and am just on the sealing portion of this lovely project. i'm going to be very very shirty if my furniture is sticky for the rest of my life. cause let's face it, there is no way hubbo is going to let me get new kitchen furniture any time soon. but i'm telling you now, if i find a chrome and formica table and chairs in yellow or aqua for a resonable amount, i'm getting no matter what he says. (that sounds super badass, but we all know i'll still ask and i won't get it if he says we can't afford it.)
on another housekeeping note. we have a rather large window in our front door. with godawful miniblinds on it. i hate miniblinds. they are so 1986. when, by the way, i loved them. i thought they were the height of coolness. chic. i've gotten over that. so i was at Home Despot with my dad (he needed a grab bar for the shower--he finally got his cast off, and is a little wobbly after not standing/walking on 2 legs for so long), and i saw this. it's a plastic cling-y thing. it came in a bunch of different designs and colors, and it was on sale. i'll tell you though, it was a bitch to get up there properly. it took 4 tries before i finally got it right. and i think it looks very nice. you can't see it very well (seeing as how it's raining and all), but it looks good. lets in just the right amount of light. it does sort of showcare the door, which (now that i'm really looking at it) is pretty effing dirty. so i'll have to scrub the door down, we'll see when/if that'll happen any time soon.
