2 things I realized I hate

The past few weeks have been great. Yumi took some time off of work and we were able to spend a lot of time together. One of the big goals for her break was changing the wall color on our guest room. It was the 2nd thing she wanted done when we moved into our house in 2007. We finished it before 2010. Not bad.

The room had a lavender accent wall with a diverse fairy wallpaper strip up by the ceiling. FRIENDS, PROMISE ME ONE THING, when you decide to decorate a room, either just paint or use easy to remove wallpaper. It took some 3 hours to get that paper down. It was just about a foot in height, I can't imagine trying to do the whole wall. We had to score the paper, soak it in wall adhesive remover, scrape the wall, peel stubborn paper, resoak the wall, scrape again... Ugh. Once we finished, it was time to do 3 coats of primer on the lavender accent, soon to be white non-accented wall. Just please promise me you'll think about those moving in after you before you use wallpaper in your home.

The other thing I realized I hate? Automatic flush toilets. Sure. They are convenient when you don't want to flush a dirty toilet with your bare hands, but I have no problem using a square of toilet paper for a manual flush. Our local Sears' toilet was way too sensitive. It flushed every time I leaned forward, when I went to grab toilet paper, even when I went to wipe. It went off somewhere between 6-8 times before I actually wanted it to flush. I hate being on the toilet when it flushes because you feel the water splashing off of the bowl... in a public toilet. (Shivers... Uuuggghhhh)

Someone should make a travel keychain that covers the auto flush censor to prevent unwanted flushes. I would buy one.
