If I die some time in the next three weeks, tell my mama I died like a man.

Or something like that.

So I started painting ornaments yesterday, but the paint I was using (acrylic; it's worked on the ornaments I've painted in the past) wasn't turning out so good... so I went to Michael's for a paint pen. The paint pen works amazingly (it needs a few coats on the darker ornaments - blue, purple - or maybe a primer of some kind), but the fumes are killing me. And with me getting over a cold, I'm already having coughing issues.

So I've got 4 hanging in the garage on my makeshift yarn clotheslines waiting for the paint to fully dry so I can move on to the next coat/step.
