Good Ideas

Sometimes I have good ideas. Other times the ideas I think are good actually turn out to be bad ideas.  Last weekend I decided to paint the letters and shelves for Noelle’s bedroom. It was like 100 degrees here so I thought it would be a good time to do it.  I was going to spray them so I started laying out paper and a cardboard box so I wouldn’t get paint everywhere.

 

I didn’t want to get paint all over my hands so I decided to wrap my hand in a plastic bag.

Since it was so hot I didn’t think about it being windy.  That’s when my good idea didn’t turn out so great.  I taped the paper and box down keeping it from blowing away.  I started spraying.  It crossed my mind that the wind was blowing the paint towards me and I started really feeling the effects of the paint fumes.  Did I stop, Nope. I just kept on going.  At the end my hand looked like this

 

The plastic bag on my hand… a good idea.  Spray painting in the wind not such a good idea.  I went inside to wash my hands and when I looked at myself I noticed that I had red paint all over my clothes, arms and legs. It’s a good thing that Noelle was sleeping so I could jump in the shower and get the paint off before it dried.  I wish I could have taken a picture of myself.  Lesson learned… spray painting in the wind… not brilliant!!!!
