impatience

dear impatience,

get off my shoulder.
stop whispering bad ideas into my ear.
quit sabotaging my projects.

today you made me paint my desk HOT PINK. HOT PINK? i've never liked pink. ever.





but you made it seem like a good idea. you ALWAYS make things seem like a good idea. and now i'm left with an oil-painted mess that i can't fix.

why couldn't you tell me to paint it aqua or green? jana even said "hold off on painting til you get everything in the room ... i like desks to be light colors.." but you said "no no no. you need more pink. and you have to start getting this done." AND I LISTENED TO YOU.

patient likes those other colors. noelle likes those colors. the rug and the couches like those colors. and they don't like hot pink.

UGH.

sincerely,
the disaster DIY-er

i like hot pink. i thought the desk looked terrific. i should have said so...instead i got distracted by where in the apt i was looking. just do muted accessories. matt is going to love working at that pink desk.

I like the pink too. It is unexpected, which makes it awesome. Keep it.

I actually think the hot pink looks great! Just tone it down with the chair/lamp/etc. ... can't wait to see everything together!

kris- i can't believ you spotted the tesco bag! i thought for sure you'd be blinded by the GLARING PINK DESK.

no dp for me. just dc.

jake- you didn't every actually SAY pink out loud. i did, remember. you said "i was just thinking that." i would NEVER hold you accountable for this mess.
