Now what?

I guess I might as well share this one. My mom has been laughing all afternoon. I suppose this will make another good party story alongside the hot tub and caterpillar stories. Well, no permanent damage done but what a mess! I have spent the day scrubbing my skin raw trying to get clean and still I have spots. My glasses are a mess and my clothes are stained.

What happened? I was trying to spray paint some items on the back porch. I picked up a can of black spray paint and when I pushed the nozzle, it broke off. Instead of stopping the flow of paint, it stuck open and sprayed right up into my face. My face including my ears, my glasses, my hands, lower arms, and feet (where I dropped it) were all covered in paint. The porch has black paint. To stop the paint spray, I put my finger over the spray and threw it into the main trash can and closed the lid. I was lucky that my classes saved my eyes.

I'm sure it was frustrating, but yeah, it's kinda funny. More (hugs)

Shall we add spray paint to the list of things you aren't allowed to use without supervision then? :P

I'm so glad those hypnotic eyes of yours are ok! :)

In my first month of being a homeowner I was gardening and stepped on the end of a rake and did a full-on Elmer Fudd. I was glad nobody was filming.

*comfort* you poor thing!

Glad you're ok and it didn't go in your eyes! Although our eye reflexes are damn fast with those sorts of things, luckily.

I was not laughing all day, just part of the day! Yet, also very grateful as skin will grow back. Lovingly,
