What has been going on these past 2 weeks!

So as some may know I recently painted my room. I was ready for a new look for a while and decided for some weird reason that that time was now! Biggest mistake ever! I started clearing out my room about 3 weeks ago, I actually had an essay and a design to work on that week so not much got done with the room. Everything from my room had to go somewhere, right?, so it all went into a room that was already pretty full. My sister had tile put in her room a few weeks before so she still had some things in there and the bathroom was painted so there was things from the bathroom in there and in the hall way. So I have to put all my things into this room. I started like on Monday, didn't work on it on Tuesday (I had class from 8-5) and finished on Wednesday or Thursday! So I started painting Friday early in the morning.
   The wall with the window, the one in front of the bed, and the one with the closet which includes the wall that is behind the door when it’s opened, were painted the new color, Mostly Mauve. The wall with my cool new dark wood headboard and the wall that is seen from the hall when the door is open were gonna stay the color they were but another coat was gonna be applied. Well that didn’t happen. I finish painting the 3.25 walls around 3 and took a break, I still had to look for the other paint. At first I could not find it anywhere and I really wanted it. For some odd reason the can was not where the rest were and in a random spot in the storage room. So I got the paint and went to my room to start painting...I could not get the stupid thing opened, Ugh! When I finally got it open I wish I hadn’t. The reason I couldn’t open the can in the first place was because the lid was rusted, the paint is over 5 years old no wonder it was rusted. I was gonna use it anyways but the more I moved the lid the more the rust flaked off and fell into the paint. :( I texted my mom to ask if it was still okay to use the paint but never got a response, she never got the message. Stupid phones! So I told Mena about it and she suggested that I mix some paint together to try to get the color of the unusable paint. My new wall color and 2 shades of blue were the only colors I had to work with. By the way mostly mauve is a purplish pink and the other color was almost lilac. So I mixed mostly mauve and the lightest of the 2 blues cause I didn’t want a really dark purple. The color I got was the color of the shirt I was wearing, which was a like pinkish purple color, I really liked the color so I started painting. I was only able to do one coat on half of the wall and 2 on the other. But I'm smarticle (OMG I didn't make that word up myself...you can Google it! ooo just got an idea for my next blog!!)! I knew that the headboard and 2 short bookshelves are going on that wall so I only did the second coat on the Top half of that wall! So that would mean that the wall that is seen from the hall could not be painted the newer new color, but it was 12 by now and I just wanted to go to sleep. The next day I painted the wall that was left with the mostly mauve color! I thought I was done painting but when dad took out the carpet on Monday, he scraped the paint off of like 3 spots on 2 walls, I was so mad, but it was the mostly mauve walls so its all good!
    So now tile is being but in my room. Mom made Dad start putting it in yesterday, I don't know why. but dad got on to me because I didn't take anything out of the closet, but I mean where was I gonna but all of that! I barely fix in the guess room with all my things with out having all the things that are still in the closet! Today I was supposed to sweep up the floor in my room so that when Dad got home either today or tomorrow he could start grouting, but I'm at work and he is in Corinth at work and no one is home to do what i should have done so that my room could be ready for me to move back in next week!
   Ah next week is going to be busy for me. I have to move back into my room and work on my design project! But after I move in my life is gonna be so much easier, mainly cause everything will be in its place and not piled up in that other room!
  Okay that is all for now Ill post pictures when I can get to my camera lol!
Later Gaters!
