the super boring truth

I want everything to be glamorous and clever and fun on my blog. I want to be so interesting that you just can't stand the time between my posts. But the simple truth, the bare bones reality of it is... sometimes I'm boring. I painted my garage this weekend. I painted my little old ratty garage white. Now the impressive thing about it is that I ran 10 miles and bounced on home with excitement to actually do  it. I prepped the night before so this seemed like a super doable task. I love painting... or maybe the real deal is that I love the difference a good coat of paint can make. I estimated that it would take about one hour and a half. It took THREE hours and I wasn't slacking. THREE valuable Saturday hours and it was only one wall, the one with the garage door. We aren't talking about major square footage here. Now it's a clean slate. I'm tempted to add some fun numbers. It's clean and fresh and probably makes the neighbors happy. It is what it is and white and only white is all it is and I don't want it to be anything else. This is the absolute boring truth about my weekend. Now just wait until I write that post about break apart my cement steps. You are going to love it. Until then here are a few photos.
