I am honored to have you commenting on my little ole blog. I've been lurking and loving House in Progress for quite some time. And yeah, I had to dig way back to find a pic of me not DIYing. I'm sure it comes as no surprise that I didn't mean to spatter up those pantaloons, but it was so hot that I didn't want to wear my designated painting pants, and I thought since I was painting stuff at waist level I wouldn't mess up anything but my shirt, but then there was that one smudge, and then, sigh, you know the rest. And Patricia, seriously, the pile of work clothes is threatening to topple and smother me in the night. Why is this not chic, though? There's a punk rock flair, no? It shows that can-do spirit—Rosie the Riveter meets Jackson Pollock. Ack. Thank so much, Jeannie! I am honored to have you commenting on my little ole blog.

It got to the point at my house where I had nothing casual that hadn't been splattered with something that couldn't be washed out. My sister is the one who said I really needed to put an outfit to the side that doesn't see the inside of a paint can but even that can be hard to do. Congratulations in all of your slobbiness!

She is fun and one of the most real people I've ever met. I love this post! Okay. You've inspired me. I certainly have more photos of myself dressed like a <strike>slob</strike> DIY'er than I have of my pre-HouseinProgress life. Sadly. But I love that you wear cool black capris with fun fringy bottoms when you're working on the house. I love that outfit. :) Oh yay! I love Susan!
