I had a talk with God the other day. I said God, “The painting part isn’t so bad but what about all the getting ready? There has to be more than a million items to round up just to get the project underway. Brushes, pans, rollers, ladders, stools, drop cloths, painter’s tape, and rags just to mention a few. Then paste, plaster, putty, and all the tools it takes to fill about a hundred holes! I’ll have to remove the switch plates, outlet covers, and light fixtures plus the dreaded trim takes forever and of course the clean up is the worst! God…I hate painting! So, please don’t make me do it, OK? Can I go riding and chasing cows instead?” He said, “Yes, as soon as the paintings done and you clean up your mess.”
