My week of failures.....I am not a stripper.

{*Best blog title EVAH!}

I tried very hard to begin some house projects this week but

for whatever reason, this was just NOT my week to be successful.

My Minnesota driver's license expires on Tuesday, as in this COMING Tuesday.

Procrastination is not something I recommend.  I confidently {did not read the manual}

walked into my DMV,  happy to see no lines and smiling government workers to assist me, 

only to sit down and proceed to FAIL the written driver's test required to

be licensed in Oregon!  A older gentleman offered me his dog-eared corner Oregon 

Driver Manual and I walked out in shame!  I will return on Monday

to give it another go, guess I will be studying my manual this weekend!

This is my latest 'project' - a perfect size/scale desk purchased with a less

than desirable painted finish.  I was enthusiastic about making this

piece of furniture my first furniture stripping success.............and writing

a great blog post with fabulous before and after photos that

would burn up Pinterest with pinning craziness.....

But it is not going to happen cause I am NOT a stripper{of furniture}.....

I lack the patience

and the determination

and the stick-to-it-ness

and the time.....

and the desire

and whatever else you need to be a successful stripper {of furniture, silly!}.

So I am painting - a better color with a better finish

and she will be gorgeous, easy-peasy, just the way I like it.

And because this post originally included blah, ugly photos, I thought

I would leave you with this cute guy....he's a goldendoodle

Pin-worthy, if I may say so myself.

Have an awesome weekend!
