That vacuum’s a hero.

He don’t fuck around for sure. I had to empty his debris trap twice while he was down there!

They make a paint specifically for this purpose:

Perfect! I was ready to use the same paint that I used on your shirt. 🎨 😉

I haven’t tried it, but I suspect the fabric paint will give a better result for a high-wear area like a couch. You don’t want the paint coming off on people’s clothes. Also it comes in glitter colours, so it’s win-win.

Ooh. You know what else you could do? Sharpie makes a set of fabric markers. You could illustrate your couch. Just test first, because the ink bleeds a bit on some fabrics.

Yep, I used fabric markers on your shirt for the lettering. They’re one of the best things ever invented.

I ordered this paint earlier this morning so we’ll see how it does as a base.

Maybe I’ll bust out the sharpies for some focal points 😊

Can’t go wrong with “Brite Pink”. Except maybe on a spelling test. 🤔

I was kinda thinking about Rainbow Brite when I was checking out.

Wow…great insight! Glad you’re in a better place now!

Thank you!

Love this! Thank you for sharing. I was the same, always filling my time with things and stuff. I could never say no. But now I make sure to take time out for me, to process things, check in with God. I’d stepped away from meetings recently, but I’ve realised now how important those and the step work is. Having that space to express yourself, to be able to look at yourself and your behaviour and think where can I do better. Magic!

You are most welcome! And thanks for your comments, too. Self-critique is where I seem to fall short the most, but man does it do me wonders.

Thank you for this! I’ve always been a “yes” gal, to my own detriment. It’s difficult to differentiate, for me at least, what IS god’s will and what is me playing martyr by pleasing everyone around me. That’s danger zone and leads to resentment and self pity and we all know those are not good places to be. I’m now giving myself permission to do nothing, and by that I mean sitting in bed while eating TWO different types of ice cream and watching Louie. (Friday night rager!) Strength and serenity to all! ☺️

“permission to do nothing” — love it!

Awesome, now you just need 20 venetian balls! 🤔👼😇🦄

Thus far I’ve been hesitant with taking them out of their plastic wraps. The cat furs would be all over them.

What would the neighbors think? Me and my masks and velvet capes, with cat furs going every which way… Nobody would take me serious.

Yeah, it’s crucial to make sure the velvet matches the cats in order for the outfit to look pulled together.

Totally. Plus, it wasn’t easy finding a velvet cape without a hood. I’m not looking to be a druid or anything.

I always want to ask about whether the pope is allowed to wear sweatpants, and if so, does he have a pair that say VATICAN across the ass.

😅

If they come knockin’ they’re fair game, Scientology style. Ask ‘em for a knobber. You’ll be able to tell by the look on their face how often they get the question. Body language would also go a long way toward knowing how enthusiastic their approach would be. Best to get these issues out in the open before you implement any private plans you had in mind. If you already got a dry well in the basement all we need is some lighting and we could do a budget remake.

I was reading more about the Mormons earlier. Pesky critter, that Joseph Smith. I suspect he had his own well. And little dog, too.
