Interesting title, huh?
Well, I spent a good portion of my life always being embarrassed if I messed up. Later on in life, I learn that if I just laughed at myself, life would be way more fun.
We are all going to make mistakes in life...we are imperfect!
But sometimes those mistakes are pretty darn funny.
I will share with you mine....
I have been working on this little doll house castle for Sutton. She loves little figurines, so I thought a doll house would be perfect for her. She is always taking little items around the house and turning them into people (or whatever) and they talk to one another and fight. I have searched high a low for something that wasn't going to break the bank. I found this little castle at a craft store, unfinished. It was perfect. I also picked out some little people to go along with it. It won't have any furnishings in it. I don't think she will care anyways.
This is the unfinished product. I am still working on it. Yes, last minute, but it was a last minute find. I am spray painting it white before I paint each little room.
Sometimes, when I start a project, I don't necessarily think through everything....like wearing a face mask while spray painting.
Needless to say, my nose hairs turned white on me. It really didn't bother me, til I realized that they were also sticky. I tried to think how long it would take my mom to get paint out of her hair (which she does all the time). But she washes her hair. I don't wash my nose hair. I figured I would just let it wear off all the while being uncomfortable and hoping that random people don't see white hairs sticking out of my nose.
After a couple hours, I started thinking that someone else has had to have done this before.
I asked JT to look up how to get paint out of your hair on google. I thought about a more specific approach, but decided a broader search would be better. I don't think I really wanted to know how many people if any did what I did.
Olive oil.
Shampoo.
Those two things were what I needed to get this paint out.
So, I lathered up the inside of my nose. It was uncomfortable, but I could see this working. No big deal....just in case you ever wanted to know. But have you ever tried getting lathered shampoo out of your nose? That is a bigger deal. It took a little while, but most of it came out...maybe. We'll see when I blow my nose later on. Then I took a q-tip and put olive oil up my nose. I am not sure if I was suppose to clean it out or not, but I did.
I know have a clean nose...free of paint!
So, if this just happens to you (or anyone else you may know), now you know how to get it out.

On a way more serious note....
It is Christmas Eve. We celebrate Christmas tomorrow. For us Christians, we celebrate hope being born. I heard a song on the radio today, I don't know who sings it and I will probably butcher the lyrics, but the basic jest of it goes like this....Jesus came to us because there is nothing we can do to get to him.
He came to earth, born as a baby, to save us from ourselves. He is our hope.
There is not a single thing we can do to reach God. We can't be good enough. We can't do enough. We can not reach heaven on our own.
He came down to us.
It hit me in a big way tonight. I am so incredibly humbled by my God and the love he has for us.
Like I said earlier, we are imperfect, and we will mess up all the time. But God loves us to much that he sent is son to earth as a baby to save us!
Have a Merry Christmas!
