I love projects. I love arts and crafts, and doing things with my own two hands. I've scrapbooked, knitted, crocheted, painted, and done everything short of Bedazzle everything in my life.
For all of my craftiness, though, I'm an impatient person. Knitting was great when it was just scarves, but the instant I couldn't finish something in a day, well, that was it. Why bother? I'm all about instant gratification. While M loves his French press, I will crack open a Diet Coke for my caffeine so that I don't have to wait. Why wait for coffee when there's another source of caffeine readily available? Likewise, it just doesn't make sense to make a scarf when I can buy a perfectly good one at Target for $12.
Well, this is about to change. Thanks to Ana White at Knock Off Wood, I'm inspired. I will take my DIY love to new heights - furniture! Home Depot will cut the wood for me, I know how to paint, and nail guns only terrify me a little bit. Besides, M's house growing up was basically a construction zone, and his dad does construction/carpentry/y'know, handy shit. We can do this!
So I'm pumped. I'm ready. Let's git 'er done!
Oh, but apparently we need to wait. We need a day together, we need to figure out what kind of stain we want (um, dark?), we need to wait until it's not cold (hello, it was 64 degrees today!), we need money to buy the tools (okay, legit), we shouldn't start before his parents come...blah blah blah. It all adds up to waiting, and I really, really hate waiting.
This is why I shop.
