Well, on a quest to get paint we were off to the home depot! We surprisingly picked our color quick! I knew I wanted a greenish-bluish color. After giggling over the silly names that they all we we decided to go with green myth. What the hell is a green myth?? Now I normally have Zoei talk to the people at these kinda things for me. Mostly because half the time I end up word vomiting on them and not making any sense what so ever. Yay, antisocialness/anxiety! (But I'm getting better guys!) I really am making great efforts to bust outta my shell a bit. So me and Zo are waiting in line, its quite a wait because the paint girl was awfully slow (and sassy!) When we were waiting Zoei left and handed me the swatch and said you talk to the girl. I was feeling very brave for some reason, even having an off day of backwards thinking. When it was my turn I told the girl what I wanted and stumbled a bit when she asked what kind of paint I needed, she wasn't too terribly rude but did huff and puff a little bit because I wasn't sure if I wanted eggshell or semi-gloss or whatnots. Who knew there were so many options! After stumbling around a bit she wrote it down and got a mixing!
I waited a bit and finally my paint was mixed and waiting on the counter for me. At this point I'm feeling pretty proud of myself that I talked to the girl and didn't turn too red. But once I picked up my paint can my heart sunk a little bit. The color on the lid was waaaay to light. So I quickly found Zo and asked her, "is this the color we chose?" Well just my luck I told the girl the wrong color!! I wanted the bottom one then the middle one! Once I realized what I had done I was MORTIFIED! Quickly realized this is why I have a Zoei to help me talk to people! I was so embarrassed at this point I was going to settle for the breath mint color instead of the one I wanted. I just wanted to get the hell outta there! But of course Zoei's boy was nice enough to go BACK to the paint place and fess up to the mistake that I made.
I felt so stupid I really wanted to cry and run away. Luckily for me I have the greatest friends ever! They didn't get mad or tease me and helped me get the right color. Although the paint boy that helped us had the stupidest look on his face and we had to repeat, "yes, she told you the wrong color earlier." My face was bright red the whole time and I was fighting back tears. (lame I know, I hate making mistakes!) In the end we got the right color and I had a mini-freak out but survived! But I can't go back to that home depot anytime soon!
Sigh, I should've taken photos of the lime green! I'll post them later once I'm not so scattered! Literally I've stuff between places and I'm just hoping that I don't lose track of my undies! This post is a little bit long and more wordy then usual, but I had to share my embarrassing story. I hope I don't have to buy paint anytime soon.
Is it the weekend yet?
