Wallpaper. It Hates Me.

Hey y'all! It's Sarah again. So... remember my post about taking down the wallpaper in the parental units' bathroom?
How that wallpaper made me go insane?
How it still affects me to this day?
How even Aunt Mary's beloved steamer cannot calm my fears of demon borders and wallpaper backing?

I do.
Vividly.

I used to be somewhat chipper about the whole wallpaper removal process. I would skip to the offending room, steamer in hand, thinking, "I'm gonna get yoooooooou!"

Now I cower in the corner until someone shoves a putty knife in my hand and tells me to pull it together.

I'm bitter.

Oh so very bitter.

So imagine my reaction when out of nowhere one evening, (As I was crazily packing to move back across the country in less than two days after presenting my five panel Master Planning final project at 7:30 AM that morning to my professor and two campus planners for Texas Tech) I receive this video.

 

(Notice the giggling of my older sister. And the stifled laughter of my loving mother who was taking the video.)

You actually don't even have to imagine my reaction because this was it.

 

There may have been some uncontrolled arm waving, hysterical laughter, and and random outbursts of, "ICAN'TBELIEVETHISWHYDOESWALLPAPERHATEMENHGRFSOAFHIJRWAFLONSNV!!!" thrown in there too. (The boyfriend and my best friend Kristin were actually present for this. I'm surprised they still speak to me like a normal human being instead of one that has a one way ticket for the insane asylum.)

But anyway, we used to find it amusing that when Rebecca was at a loss for words, she would break out in song. Well, apparently, I break out in rhyme.

That was on the spot too. 

The bathroom in question is now fully painted and blindingly shiny with new fixtures, all in the time it took me to take down half the wallpaper in the Master Bath.

 

Excuse me while I cry.  

I guess the moral of this story would be to not enter a hostile arena of vicious wallpaper with an inflated sense of confidence. The fall is painful, and the road to recovery, draining.

However, as the projects in the basement continue to move at a decent clip, I am scheduled to take down the beachy themed wallpaper in the former exercise room. I have decided to approach this task with one goal in mind:

Revenge. 

More coming soon! :)
