when you can hold a dixie cup of paint in your left hand, while holding onto the top of the extension ladder, cradle the celphone between your shoulder and ear, while holding a brush in your right hand AND a pencil that you're using to write notes on the dixie cup for a job somebody wants you to do tomorrow...
and when your shop is full of dixie cups with notes written on them that you're afriad to throw out because you might need that number...
you have more types of primers on the shelf than you do colors of vinyl...
your "good" clothes are the ones with only a single color of paint splotches.
you know what somebody means when they tell you about camel quills... and you know that camels are really squirels... and you know that the squirels come from Russia...
when you use MEK to start the BBQ...
when there are five rolls of 2" tape on your desk, and each of them has a different purpose but none of them can be used to seal a package.

Much like we do with bubblewrap, when you 'snap' your jeans on the drive home, that have hardened from Magic Smooth...
When you actually own jeans for only working with Magic Smooth...
When you read about cherry ripes on this post and you actually have the ability to find a stach in your own cupboard that you must have right NOW...
When you're hording any possible container for paint purposes... (any mom's place is generally a gold mine)
When you grab into your 'rag bag' only to find your favorite good tshirt or your son's good socks...
When your cat helped you develop your logo long ago... (cat ran into paint, turning over the container, freaked and ran through the house with a wild trail of footprints. Rather than freaking, you instead are in awe of the most incredible paintsplat on the wood table ever made)
When you walk into a public place and there is NO doubt in anyone's mind around you that you have indeed been up to something by the look of your clothes and face, just no one can figure out quite what! (especially after grinding styrofoam LOL)
