No More White Walls

September 3, 2009 11:38 PM

helsadilla and I were over at the new place tonight, and I'm officially extremely excited about moving. Even though there's still no furniture in the new place, it's already starting to feel a little bit more like it's mine. Now I have to deal with the daunting realization that I'm actually going to have to get all of my stuff over there somehow. Fortunately, many of my friends have volunteered to help. Unfortunately, I still have to pack up everything myself. I mean, I guess I could just have all my friends come over and discover that I've done no packing at all and make them all do it, but that would be sort of, well, wrong. I'm sure I'm thinking it'll be more work than it really will be, but I'm pretty sure that it won't be any fun at all.

There was a huge Craigslist win today. I realized that I needed boxes, so I went on Craigslist and searched for moving boxes. I found a guy who had posted that he had a bunch of free moving boxes forty minutes earlier. I called him up, and with half an hour, the back of my car was full of free cardboard boxes. Win!

Anyway, given that I'll probably be in my new place for at least a few years and that white walls are boring, I've decided to paint at least some of them. This will be an interesting project because the last time I took up a paintbrush was when my mom painted the walls in our old house. I was maybe twelve and I think I was more of a hindrance than an asset.

Still, I think chelsadilla--who has volunteered to help--and I are up to the task. We went and bought a bunch of paint today, and pH and Mr. Vice let us borrow a bunch of their painting equipment. I think we're going to start doing some prep work tomorrow, and then start painting Saturday. We'll have to get started pretty early, though, since we're planning on heading out to Taste of Madison in the afternoon and then watching the Wisinconsin Bager completely fail against a creampuff team.

It's gonna be a good weekend.

If you need more boxes, let me know. I have tons of boxes in storage.
