After working on it for weeks, I submitted a very large paper today. And after taking a moment to enjoy a massive sigh of relief (and a mini happy dance), I decided to tackle a project in the bathroom I'd been putting off.
See, my eyeshadow applicator was falling apart. And because I'm awesomely frugal and resourceful and didn't want to spend a whole $2 on a new set, I decided that with a little glue, this one could be good as new. It was a brilliant idea in theory, but the outcome was not so great. I underestimated the porous nature of the sponges and used a little too much super glue... The result: super glue on 5 different fingertips and on our beautiful granite countertops. Yes- I'm an idiot. Technically, the applicator still works, and just to prove a point I plan to use it as long as possible. But a valuable lesson was learned. (and ps- the spot on the counter is tiny and I will be researching ways to remove it asap.)
I also made a decision while sitting in class today: Tomorrow will be a day OFF. No books. No work. No need for eyeshadow or applicators. My plan is to sleep in, gather my weapons of attack (vacuum, pledge, lysol, scouring pads, etc) and wage war against the mess that is our apartment. And if time allows, I'll also be scraping off the bird poo that is currently covering about 20% of my car. It shall be a cleaning extravaganza! And I'm excited. In preparation, I'm making the perfect playlists and trying to figure out if I'll be able to properly enjoy Pride & Prejudice (with my boy Colin Firth) all the way from the bathroom...
Ooo- maybe some of the cleaning solutions will also take care of my super glue fingers?? Bonus.
