Friday Fill-in: Painted the Master Bedroom Edition

Today the Mormon missionaries came over and helped me paint my bedroom, like 3 sets of them. We finished in 3.5 hrs, minus some "I'm being picky touch-ups." I am thrilled to have this done, like seriously a giant load has been lifted off my back. I know I have a long and complex history with the church and I never intend to rejoin (sorry missionaries...it's not you; it's me), but that doesn't mean I can't be grateful for substantial help. Accomplishing this, and buying my plane ticket for Turkey, made my day.
In honor of my profound sense of happiness and general lack of depression about how behind I am, I thought I would celebrate with Wife of a Sailor's weekly fill-in. Trundle on over to her blog to learn about other milspouses and their answers to this week's questions:

  1. Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and ___________________.
    you will have peace and quiet on the weekends? I don't know I love fishing.  You could also go with "s/he will think Deadliest Catch looks like a good job opportunity."
  2. It is amazing what you can accomplish if  ___________________.
    you go home, get a good night's sleep and try again in the morning. More mistakes are made due to an exhausted mind than you might imagine.
  3. If you can’t stand the heat ___________________.
    obsess about it by comparing how hot/cold other extreme climates are relative to you. For example, on Tuesday it was 112 F at lunchtime, with 17% humidity. This was approximately the same temperature and humidity (within 1 degree and 1% humidity) as Death Valley.
    or:
    walk faster over those hot coals.
  4. What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to ___________________.
    the dog poop you just stepped in.
    IDK, I got nothin'.
  5. Well behaved women seldom ___________________. (thanks This American Wif and Every Branch for this last quote!).
    I love the original quote so much that I find it hard to modify. I guess: Well behaved women seldom enjoy all the things life has to offer.  When I was trying very hard to be a well behaved woman, long before I ever blogged, I missed out on all kinds of wonderful things (like alcohol and swearing, and wearing sleeveless shirts) that make my life so much more fun and interesting.
