Bright Pink!

I painted my room this summer. I have been wanting to paint my room in this house since I moved in, two years ago. I really wanted to paint it red, but my parent thought that that wouldn't be a good color in case we were going to move again. I was sad but I got over it. I was still having troubles deciding on a color, so I decided to get a bedspread first. I picked one that was pink, brown, orange, blue, green, and other bright colors. I love it. I still couldn't find a color and my boring tan room was driving me nuts!

So one day this summer I went to the basement and saw what colors we already had. I have had a lot of rooms, and one of the greatest things about that is that I get to pick out new colors every time, and so do my siblings. In my old house my sister had bright green, pink, and blue walls, and luckily we still had all of those colors! We also had orange from the room my sister and I had, two houses ago. I was excited that I could finally paint my room. I was talking to my friend about it and she said that she would love to help me paint it.

She came over about noon, but I was too excited so I painted the green wall before she even got to my house. When she did, we painted the blue wall. I let her paint the edges because I wasn't supposed to get any on the ceiling. That was a mistake. She got the dark blue paint all over my ceiling. When we were done with that wall we had to take a little break to let the paint brushes dry. We chilled downstairs and ate macaroni and cheese-my favorite food. After that we went up to my room again and painted the pink wall. She was fired from painting around the ceiling. I let her use the rolling brush to paint all the insides of that wall. It was really fun. We had Lady Gaga blaring in the backgroud. It was mega hot that day, and because of the fumes I had to open my windows. After the pink wall we took a longer break becuase the next wall was my closet wall and there were a lot of small spaces. We wanted to be focused, which if you can imagine two teenage girls painting a room with loud music, we were not.

During our long break we relaxed on my bed talking and eating. It was nice because she is one of my good friends and it was the first or second time I had seen her since school got out. We caught up on the summer and talked about how awesome next school is going to be. We were hopeing we would have at least one class together. It turned out in the end that we have four classes and lunch together, not to mention we share a locker so we knew we would be seeing eachother a lot. When we went back to painting my last wall, we were tired. It was like six o'clock by this time. My room isn't really big, but it's not super small, so I had just enough space to put all my furniture in the middle of the room. It was really hot and crouded. The last wall, like I said, was the smallest wall, and thankfully it only took us less than an hour to do. Her dad came to pick her up around 7:30, we were both fifteen at the time so niether of us could drive. It was a really good day. Not only had I got to paint my room four bright colors, I made a great friend that I still have today.
