I'm stressed out over various things (who isn't?), and my go-to activity when stressed is changing something in the house.
So, I'm painting the living room. Again.
Goodbye, muted green.
Hello, cream.
Michael didn't say a word when I came staggering in with paint.
I don't involve him in the chaos, he keeps his mouth shut. It works well for us.
Yesterday, I cut brush.
Brush meaning hawthorns and blackberry brambles.
Yes, I bled a lot..but look what I found!
The skull is complete! I even found all the teeth! :D
Now, I gotta put it back together.
AND!
My spider love pays off...

I need to get back to work...this place is like Paintpocalypse .
pig leaves you alone for a day (okay, a week) and look how you spend your time! :) honey, when i'm stressed, i eat or drink or exercise. i suggest either or all three instead of bleeding and painting. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome at my house the next time you're feeling stressed. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the painting, but I will skip the clearing of spiky brush.
ReplyDeleteYou're fearless...I bet you touched that skull too, oh my! What do you think it is? Hope it's not Pig's relations. ~Lili
ReplyDeleteexcellent way to destress... painting the house!
ReplyDeletecan SO relate!

My kind of lady--blow that good stress energy on change and destroy OR create chaos. Sounds like hubby has learned, like mine, to just get out of the way. Cool skull. Go spider GO!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great find! At least it isn't Pig! That would be so sad. I don't mind spiders as long as they stay outside. Great meal shot!
ReplyDeletewhat is the skull from ??? do you know ? how absolutely exciting ! Maybe you found the missing link. and Please...no more spiders !
ReplyDelete- KAT -
I'd love for someone to paint my house! It hasn't been painted in 14 years since we built the house.
ReplyDeleteCool deer skull!
Cool Spider! That part of the blog is awesome. I've got to admit, though, that I quickly scrolled past the bones part. Bones creep me out. More than that... bones give me the willies, while making me sad for whatever poor creature died and left them behind while making me kind of nauseous at the same time. And that is the reason why I never became a vet or a doctor. Irrational fears of bones tend to be frowned upon in the medical community.
ReplyDeleteYou're very energetic when stressed! I generally just go to bed a bit early. I certainly don't break out the paint can :)
ReplyDeleteThat skull is probably an ex-meal from the psychopathic neighbour of yours?
Thanks Sam. I wasn't stressed myself until I saw the demon's skull and the spider!! lolx
ReplyDeleteSam I wish I had the irrepressible urge to paint my house when stressed because I would have the whole dang thing painted inside and out these last few weeks! I am happy to finally see your stinkbug because I thought you were talking about Asian Beetles which will shortly be here in my little bit of country stinking and leaving orange death squiggles on everyTHING they land on. Bah!
ReplyDeleteCool skull.
ooooh...for me the skull would've made it all worth it! so cool!
ReplyDeletewhen i stress...i clean...like a mad woman.
I'm partialy with TexWis...stress makes me want to eat or drink, she can keep the excercise part. That stresses me out thinking about all that work.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you do with snaggle tooth!
That is not a friend of Pig's is it?
ReplyDeletePainting the great stress reliever or giver not sure which. B
dang girl - i've got paint and brushes... i'm sure i could even find a spider for you.
ReplyDeletewhat time should i be expecting you?
:-D
robelyn
Came for some Pig....and saw this instead...lol....unexpected!
ReplyDeleteGiven the big honkin' canine teeth..it's a coon!
ReplyDeleteFYI, I refuse to believe it's a possum. I hate possums.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes.. I know it's opossum.
hi samantha
ReplyDeletei can so relate. and what a great way to de-stress.
but where's pig, anyway?
have a great day!
betty
I think I would like a hundred of your Spideys for my thousands of stink bugs. Go Spidey!
ReplyDeleteOoooh...come over to my house next?:)
ReplyDeleteNice skull! I'll have to show you what passes for ornaments here at Club Mountaingoat: glancing over this here keyboard, I spy parts of a sea turtle, a whale spine, a goat and some kinda marsupial - all found objects of course. A really under-utilised home furnishing item - screw Ikea!
ReplyDeleteThat skull is smiling at you... no wonder you have no reason to leave the house with a friend like that around. LOL
ReplyDeletei have 2 skulls that look similar to yours....i know they're badger skulls. do you know what yours is ?
