You know how some people have imaginary friends growing up? Well, Thelma has a world called “Stuffed Animal World”.
This is where Munck comes from…who she believes to be very real, growing and living with feelings and emotions. Munck is very much part of the family (Ducky as well.).
Hangnails are the absolute WORST. They are little pieces of torn skin around your cuticles and it’s usually because your skin is dry. Mine is dried to hell from painting and washing my hands constantly. Plus, it’s winter and my bony hands just get dry. One time, I held my own hand and I was like, DANG. It’s like holding hands with Skeletor!
Anyway, I digress. It’s SO unbelievable how this little sucker can cause one SO MUCH PAIN.
And, the only way to get rid of the pain is to get rid of IT!
Only, I’m at Starbucks and I don’t happen to have my handy dandy cuticle cutters on me.
Not even nail clippers! But the pain is just unbearable, so, I have to just suck it up, hold my breath…and…
YOWZERS!!!! Fucking shit fuck damn!!
I use all the might I have in my thumb and pointer finger to pull the sucker out.
That FUCKING HURTS! (and I’m even bleeding a little. See? Blood.)
But, it’s still better than leaving the dang thing there and feeling the constant throbbing pain of a hang nail.
Pulling hangnails out hurt like a mother at first, but, then at least it goes away.
Ah, much better.

My project of painting the girls room is complete! (Well, I’m still waiting on Fanny Mae to get me the pillows.)
I know it’s drawn out to a few days but that’s just how these things go. Decorating or redecorating, takes time.
THELMA & LOUISE’S ROOM
The girls share a queen platform bed that I pushed up to the wall to make it more “loungy”. It also makes the room look more spacious.
We had a comforter that actually goes with the decor so I’m super excited about this. This makes my project even less costly than I thought!
In addition to painting the walls, I also wanted to add something “extra”. I went online and found some inspiration for the room. The flowers are just beautiful.
I love the colors but decide to replicate it in a simpler form.
I pencil the drawing on the wall first. This is where the bulk of the work comes in.
Here’s a clip of me painting some flowers and butterflies on the walls…fast forwarded 2000 times.
I woke up in the middle of the night and worked until morning on this. Nighttime is the only time to work.
No interruptions…just quiet. Ahhhhhh.
The girls were sleeping in mine and Dick’s room while I was working through the night.
There’s also a cameo by dear Louise, who ended up even helping out alittle.
Oh, and if you pay attention to the window, you can see how I’m working in the dark at first and then the sun starts to come up.
Of course, I did NOT freehand this. I drew it with pencil first, using a picture I found online, then painted over it.
The music was a CD loaned to me by my “Twin” – June Cleaver so that I would have some new groovy music to jam to while I spend all these hours painting.
The band is Ojos de Brujo and the song is called Cale Bari (dub bari). Love it!!!!
Thanks June!!!
Enjoy!

Corey Haim has just died of an apparent drug overdose today. He has been known to be battling a drug addiction for some time. Cops found 4 bottles of prescription drugs by his body. Click HERE to read the full story.
Corey Haim was a HUGE teenage heartthrob and start back in the 80s. He’d often star in movies with the other Corey…Feldman.
I totally had the hots for Corey Haim. He had that cute smirk and the hair! Loved the hair!
Careful Robert Pattinson!
Corey was one original teenage heartthrobs that rocked the SEXY HAIR.
Some of my favorite movies back in the day had him in it:
LOST BOYS
GOONIES
DREAM A LITTLE DREAM
It seems he was one of those child stars that just went down the wrong road. Sad. So sad.
Here’s the trailer from Dream a Little Dream.
Here’s one of my favorite songs from the Lost Boys Sountrack:
People are Strange.
RIP Corey. RIP.
-Jane.
I held off as long as I could to surprise the girls with their “new” room.
Even though I wasn’t finished, I was dying to show them.
Plus, they had to come home from my parent’s house at some point.
THEIR REACTION
Louise was screaming like a crazed girl in love with some teeny-bopper celebrity.
(This was taken after she had calmed down.)
Apparently this JANE was conspiring with terrorists and was hired to kill that controversial Swedish political cartoonist Lars Vilks.
JIHAD JANE.
I don’t know anything about him or her but reading “Jihad Jane” on CNN.com completely caught my eye.

Most of the stuff I’m using to accessorize is stuff I already have. Like on some of those decorating shows on HGTV (I love those!) I decide to use stuff that is around my house because I have plenty.
You remember I painted the tray. The picture is of Dick’s late Grandmother. The candles came from my office where Dick had kicked out my nice decorations with his cluttered CDs. (Click HERE to be reminded of the chaos.)
