Really, if I had wanted stunning before and after pictures, I should have taken pictures of the apartment before and after cleaning it. I thought about it, but decided not to, because after all, you all don’t really have to know what a disgusting piglet I can be when it comes to housecleaning, right?
I did get a lot done, though, and there’s plenty more to do. I’ve got to finish painting Sage’s room before the people come to install the carpet. We talked about getting stencils and painting some things on the wall, but we both think these are way cooler.
I’m partial to the jellyfish one, personally. Sage hasn’t decided yet. There are others I’d like for the living room. The thing is, these pieces of vinyl are flippin’ expensive! For example, the fish are $60.
I asked Sky what he wanted for his eighteenth birthday and he said books. I asked him to email me a list, and he did. It had about ten books on it, every single one of which had to do with LSD shit in some shape or fashion. Apparently, I have not gotten my point across about not liking that shit. Anyway, no books for Sky. I’m getting him something else that I think he’ll like better anyway.
On another note, after cleaning that dirty disgustingly filthy apartment, I’m determined to turn over a new leaf. This may involve hiring someone to come in every other week and clean, at least after school starts. We’ll see.

I love the jellyfish too. I wish I could have someone come and do the deep cleaning–I’m fine with the vacuuming and stuff. I want someone to paint for me too and move furniture around for new carpet. I hate big projects!
The fish are definitely cool as is the jellyfish…get them both and make it an undersea theme…but then the walls should have been blue instead of yellow!
Play wallpaper roulette: leave your front door open, with a load of spray cans just inside. Someone will leave pictures of *something* on your walls.
Just move your expensive belongings out first.
