Art Fest better come quickly, or we are going to drown in a flood of latex paint.

It's all beginning to look quite lovely around here.  That is, until you ZOOM OUT, and then it looks like we were vandalized by circus clowns.  What a freaking mess.

Art Fest is ONE DAY and counting, and I am less of an unstable mess, now that I discovered a paint store that sells gallons of off-tint paint for $4.  This is, by far, the most economical way to mass produce painting projects for grade schoolers.  For about seven seconds, I considered *making* the paint, but then I decided I DON'T HAVE TIME for an aneurysm in the next 24 hours.


And now an update on my expensive-wood-meltdown of 2012.  Many of you will recall that I cried over the cost of the wood Mike used to build me a structure for one of our Art Fest projects.  I realize that was SO VERY SYBIL of me, but apparently, what Mike took from that "episode" was that I needed another, LARGER structure of wood.  One that's almost the size of my five-year-old.  Now Mike feels like he just can't win, because I FREAKED OUT over having to buy more paint for (what can be argued is) a large wooden penis.


Oh my.  I am SO READY for this to be over, at which point I will drink some wine and eat McDonalds and  SLEEP...until I start my 10-day juice cleanse on Saturday.  That means there is at least a solid week of crazy vegetable delusions coming your way--and it's possible I will be convinced to eat our hamsters, friends.

{Art Fest is ONE DAY away, and today I painted leave-less trees on t-shirts and a large canvas.}
