The Benjamin Moore Pedicure
I helped my friend Theresa paint a room on Saturday and I’m still discovering bits of pale green latex paint on the sides of my toes and the soles of my feet (just standing in the shower won’t really do a thorough job of washing it away). I will have to be extra vigilant with a foot brush tomorrow morning if I wish to wear sandals to work.
We took care of filling in the cracks and holes in the walls (it’s an old house), smoothed everything over, masked off the trim, and then painted it over with a nice fresh coat of sage green; the perfect project for my current state of mind.
Perhaps the heat was making us punchy or perhaps we develop the brains of teenage boys when we hang out sometimes (OK, often), but the double entendre flowed like wine, often unintentionally. Por ejemplo, “How much caulk does this hole need??” was one of our more stellar accomplishments and one that made my friend’s husband giggle with amusement at how dirty we girls can be.
What’s also funny and only mildly dirty is this clip from “Extras” (Ricky Gervais’ series). Oh, Daniel Radcliffe. How strange it is to hear you curse a bit like a sailor!
