So one of my many talents is making big messes. On accident of course.. I know, you're probably very jealous of me rn. The other day I was finishing up a sign for a friend, I had my gym clothes on and my stuff by the door and i was ready to go after I was done. I picked up the paint can and shook it to get it all mixed up and apparently I hadn't screwed it on tight the last time I used it because paint suddenly exploded everywhere and coated me and all of my surroundings in black paint.
I literally just sat there wondering what I should do and how I would clean up without making an even bigger mess. Also sat there wondering when Ashton was gonna show up and tell me I was being Punk'd. (ps he didn't come) I got up and ran to the bathroom as black footprints marked my trail and began to wash my hands off. Good thing I left my extensions by the sink because black paint started splashing on them. but if I touched them to move them I would get paint on them from my hands. And I had to stand still so the paint would just drop off me in one spot. It was AWESOME. After forever my hands were clean enough to wash out my extensions and wash off my feet so I could actually move around. OH PS I HAD TO MOVE FAST BEFORE THE PAINT DRIED. so fun. cause when paint dries on wood and tile it doesn't like coming up very easy. cool fact, right?
me at this point:
I peeled off my clothes really slowly because I wanted to get them in the washer stat and I probs said like 204832589 prayers that my tank wouldn't get paint all over my BLONDE hair. ps my prayers were answered. then it was a mad dash for the kitchen for paper towels and a scrub sponge. I scrubbed and scrubbed as the paint dried to my skin (ps i had work in less than an hour. pps I decided cleaning the tile and wood was more important to do first bc #renting) so yeah. oh and some black paint splashed on the sign i was finishing. OH AND my friend was coming by at 2 to pick it up. *insert like a million crying emojis* blah blah blah sob story and cleaning words here. I finally finished cleaning up like a hundred gallons of paint (aka a a pint) and took a quick picture (for the kids.you know my future kids will love this) and hopped into the shower which in fact did turn black. and remind me to buy a new luffa because mine is now filled with black speckles.
this was after I put on clean clothes pre shower and post washing off my arms, hands, feet, and calves. obvi. And the lack of smile is due to the fact that I was covered in paint. and don't worry my stomach and shoulder were also black. :)))))))
so there ya go, happy Thursday!

Oh no! I have carpet in my apartment, so in my head I was thinking you had to clean it out of carpet! At least it could've been worse?
ReplyDeleteoh my if it was carpet I would be crying still haha totally agree- glad it wasn't worse!
DeleteSorry this happened to you, but I laughed the entire time because this would be something to happen to me. Ha ha also I love your writing style!
ReplyDelete-liv
thank you!! haha sooo glad I'm not alone here :) and thank you soo much, I really appreciate that! xo
DeleteOh man, I hate it when that happens! And messes like that ALWAYS seem to happen as I'm heading out the door, already late for something. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteahhh seriously!! luckily I got to work on time and I was all cleaned up. phew!
DeleteHa ha ha! Oh girl I am so sorry. That totally sucks, but I did laugh when I was reading this because it's totally something that would happen to me. :)
ReplyDeletehahah glad I'm not the only one who does stuff like that :)
DeleteThis is terrible!! At least you have a sense of humor about it… well after the fact :) I would have been a mess handling this!
ReplyDeletehahah thank you! and don't worry, I was totally freaking up trying to figure out the best way to do things.
DeleteOh my goodness! I would have been freaking out!! So glad you were able to get everything cleaned up!
ReplyDeletehahah thank you! and don't worry, I was totally freaking up trying to figure out the best way to do things.
DeleteHahahahaha I just laughed out loud! This is totally something that would happen to me! I spilled paint in my classroom one time and it was a mess to clean up. But I can't imagine doing it in a house that I rent. I would have DIED!
ReplyDeletehahah glad I'm not the only one who does stuff like this!! oh man, did it spill on carpet in the class room? I would have probably cried. ;)
DeleteThis is definitely the type of thing that would happen to me haha! This gave me a good laugh

hahah oh man glad we are similar :) and thank you!!
DeleteHaha omgsh I bet that was a fun situation to clean up! Especially BLACK paint!!! Haha!!
ReplyDeleteahhhh I forever hate black paint from now on haha too many bad memories ;)
DeleteThe good news is the paint will fade eventually :) When I painted our door, I had splashed paint all over my pants and they are still stained three years later.
ReplyDeleteliz @ sundays with sophie
soooo true!! ahhh I bet your jeans look like they're supposted to have paint splatters and all trendy haha :)
DeleteThis actually happened to us. TWICE! The first time my cat spilled my calligraphy ink (black) on our white carpet. Quite a nice stain. And then we went to paint the guest room and our ladder caught on some paint.. I didn't notice until I moved it like four times.. We have a nice trail of blue on the (again white) carpet. oh, dear. I can laugh about it now. Until time comes to replace it and I have to spend all my money ¬¬
ReplyDeleteomg noooo way!! then you totally feel me, Andrea!! haha ahhh I think there is stuff on pinterest to get paint out of carpet! when I was little and I spilled nail pollish on the carpet I just cut the carpet where I spilled haha probably not the best idea but it kept me out of trouble for spilling :)
DeleteOh man-oh-man what a story! That is not good my friend! Of course it had to be black and of course it had to happen right before you had to be somewhere :( at least it wasn't on carpet!
ReplyDeleteI know, I was like "black paint?! come ON!!!" luckily it all got cleaned up and I made it on time to work! PHEW
DeleteAhhh yikes! I hope everything's fine now! If it's any solace, you look really cute in black paint! ...If that's something...Hahah <3
ReplyDeletexx Bash | Bash Says Hey | bloglovin'

DeleteOh no!
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine. I feel like when we paint our house back white this is going to happen to me!
Hey, at least the black suits you ;) lol
ahhh wear your crappiest clothes to paint in case some gets on you! haha and thank you :)
DeleteWow! Thanks for sharing this Candace! Hope everything is fine now!;)

it is all fine now, thank heavens! thanks, Jeanne :)
Deleteoh jeez, this is just BAD!!!!! i mean, i'm very sorry for you going through this but this was just so funny to read the way you described it. things like this have happened to me before but not as bad, and not with black paint!
ReplyDeletehahaha black paint is officially my least favorite paint! sooooo glad I didn't spill it on carpet though. I literally would have just died right there
DeleteOh my gosh, girl! Next time, you'll be checking caps, that's for sure. Ha, ha!
ReplyDeleteMandie ~ http://badbrewpack.blogspot.com/
oh FOR SURE!! haha never again will I assume a cap is screwed on tight!
DeleteHAHA- oh you poor thing! This had me cracking up- I'm glad you (and your shower!) survived!!
ReplyDeletehahah I am glad we did, too! so glad it didn't stain anything!!
DeleteOh my goodness so sorry this happened to you. Ah!

Dearest Lou
ahh thank you!! haah so glad it's over!
DeleteOh my gosh! I'm really sorry to hear this, but it does make for one funny story. Hope you got all that black paint off!

thankfully it is alllll cleaned up and gone!! haha thank you, Adri! :) xo
DeleteI saw a picture on your business instagram and I was totally thinking.."wow she does that painting on the carpet?" haha. Sometimes I will take the cap off of a drink or something and then go to shake it, and spill all over the kitchen. I know that's totally a different story..paint is...well, PAINT! And black no doubt lol. Hopefully everything is okay :)
ReplyDeletehahah well we do have carpet upstairs but it's like this old carpet rug that we put down in the room so if I spill on that, it isn't as bad because it's just an ugly old carpet rug! But it would suck to spill a ton on it because then we'd probably want to get rid of it for good. gahhhh you get me though!! haha I do that, too! like unscrew something and then move it really fast and there it goes all over the floor. #talent
DeleteOH MY GOSH. Okay, I've done this with the orange juice, but never paint?! Glad it didn't get on your hair :)
ReplyDeleteI would take orange juice any day over paint spilling!! haha and thank you, I'm glad, too! PHEW
DeleteI feel like I can laugh at this ONLY because this is something I would have done myself. I can't tell you how many messes I've made with paint but I've never had luck of it coming out of my clothes. Hope you were able to get it all cleaned up!
ReplyDeletehahah oh girl you feel me!! I luckily did get it all cleaned up and mostly out of my workout clothes!
DeleteWOW I know nothing about paint so I would have been FREAKING OUT! You sure do look adorable covered in paint though ;)
ReplyDeletehahaha thanks, Tina!! I was totally freaking out!! luckily it got all cleaned up ok. ahh so stressful though!
DeleteOH NO! Sounds like quite an ordeal to clean up! Hope there was enough paint left to finish your project!
ReplyDeleteit was terrible!! haha just my luck. I did have enough to finish though, thank goodness!
Deletelolol, so sorry!!!! Paint can be terrifying when spilled. So funny.
ReplyDeletehaha thanks! it seriously was the WORST!
