Baldness, Progress, and an Owwie!

Before I tell you all about my ongoing anti- anxiety adventures, I have to give you a house-progress update!
Last night I DID find a bottle of stuff to take the wallpaper off of the wall! I was SO excited! I went home, and tore a TON of wallpaper off!


See the dark gold in the corner? That is what the ENTIRE room was done in before!!! It was "cozy"... but I don't like cozy. I want my home to feel like an oasis... fresh, cool, inviting... not a "cozy" prison cell. LOL So now at least most of one wall is ready for painting, as soon as I wash it down good!
Oh, and would you like to see what came OFF of the wall?


That's all the little bits of wallpaper I peeled off! I was barefoot most of the time when I worked, and the papers kept sticking to my feet. (EW!) I was going to take a pic of the papers stuck to my feet, but I couldn't find my camera at the time. :o(


Now, on to the further humorous adventures of Jana:


The Owwie:



You know, it's very hard to take a picture of your own owwie with your camera phone, just so you know.

Anyway... I got this owwie, when all things evil (yes, every available force of evil was put onto this task) conspired against my new lifestyle of worry-less-ness! I was walking out to my flowers, stepped into their little plot of dirt, and fell over ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, and cut my knee on DIRT!! YES! Seriously! Since when was dirt SHARP?!!!! This is all seriously malfunctional.

And then, to top it all off... yesterday, I was sitting down in my little swivel chair, when a visitor arrived. I went to get up out of my chair, and somehow managed to scoot my chair back in the process, which got my hair caught between the back of the chair and the table behind me. TALK ABOUT PAIN!!!!!!!!!! OMW... my head and neck are STILL hurting!!! And I've set in this SAME desk for 2 years, with my hair being equally long, and never has this happened BEFORE!!

The universe is out to get me. I'm sure of it. All the powers of darkness are uniting with a common goal: Make Jana renounce her anti-worry lifestyle! I think I need a bigger dose of Prozac. *sigh*

(And in case that wasn't entertaining enough for you... check THIS blog post out!)

OH Jana! I can almost feel your pain! You poor thing.

Hey, btw, I e-mailed you twice and for some reason I am getting a Damon Mailer thinga-ma-jig where it comes back to me. Hmm....

I do have a yahoo address I can share, but the one you have is only for close friends and family, no one else.

"This is all seriously malfunctional." LOL!! Glad you survived all the self-abuse! Your house is gonna look soooo cute when you get it decorated the way you like.

I equal "cozy" with "cuddly", not "scary like a prison". hee-hee

Cutting your knee on dirt sounds JUST like something I might do. Poor dear! Hopefully today will be better.

Isn't there something oddly therapeutic about ripping old wallpaper off the wall? Odd, I know but I've always loved doing that. Ha! :)
