But, I will post anyway. I guess I feel like pictures make a blog a little more personal but I don't always remember to have my camera handy...oh well. So since my last blog JP and Melissa met Kelvin and I at Fratello's. Much better as far a food goes although a little on the pricier side. The bruchetta was delicious!!! Kelvin bought his first grill over Labor Day weekend and we tried out steaks and burgers. I think he will be an excellent grill master :) Maybe next we'll try fish or something a little more challenging...Last weekend we went to see Tropic Thunder. It was surprisingly funny and Robert Downey Jr stole the show in my opinion. I still couldn't help but think of him in 'Weird Science' yelling "I'm shitting in my pants!!!" with a bra on his head. Kelvin and I were 2 of 5 people laughing in the entire theater (at least 20 people total). One guy left the theater saying, "That's an hour and a half of my life that I can't get back." Who goes to a movie starring Jack Black and Ben Stiller and expects thought provoking scenes? It's a comedy for crying out loud! This past weekend Kelvin and I painted his kitchen. It was just an eggshell color and we painted it "Kiwi Kiss" a.k.a Sage. I think it looks good for being painted by amateurs. I would like to warn you that painters tape can be a real pain in the arse. When we removed the tape it sometimes took the paint with it! Frustrating! Next is the living room. We're painting it "Cracker Bits" which is a tan color. I think it will go well with the black leather furniture Kelvin has in his living room. Yes, black leather in his bachelor pad :)
Work has been yucky the past couple of weeks as I've made some blunders unintentionally and people were so very kind to make sure I know I'm an idiot....gotta love that. BUT, it's just my turn and hopfully after tomorrow work life will be better. My fingers are crossed as well as my toes.
Guess that's it for now. Will try to do better about pics for next time. XOXOXOX

Try scoring the line between the tape and paint with a razor blade. That should keep the paint from peeling up.
jp.....you should paint your kitchen and surprise Lisser! haha
Man that would be NICE! I will be home in 4 days...there is still time.
I think a new grill is a great time to have some friends over for a cook out (wink, wink)
i agree with lisser. and also with jp on the razor blade, which we always forget to do until after have of a room is peeled.
want me to go kick some work people booties? i'm pretty flippin' strong these days.
and also, i blogged some pics of my new hairless head.
I'm glad to know other people had the same painter's tape issues as I did. I finally figured out the scoring thing, but not until significant damage (and frustration) had been caused. And please, don't ever let lack of pictures keep you from blogging! I like to hear what you're up to with or without visual aides! ;) Also, am I the only blogger without a picture in the comments? Crap, will have to rectify that immediately...
