home improvement, v. 2.5857456376895406

certainly, there are jokes to be made here about a woman's idea of home improvement.

deservedly so, since i pulled from all corners of the house for saturday's project:

a blow dryer
a wilton's cake spatula

a hammer
{the only legit tool in this game}

this is the mirror that needs to come down so this mirror can go up

{yes, that's red on pink.}

i did my proper google research to "remove a mirror glued to a wall" and taken all of the precautionary steps.

except for the part that says it's a two man job.
i'm a one woman house, so we work with what we've got.

they say to tape the mirror... so when it crumbles, all the sharp glass stick together.

but what the article fails to advise is how to muster the guts to actually take a swinging hammer to that very fragile piece of glass.

i
can't
do
it

i've tried.

i go in for the swing
{which is merely a firm tap}
i think angry thoughts, even
but then i stop.

i can't be the destruct-o-girl i need to be.

help.
