I am such a silly girl with some silly aspirations. Big or small, I never cease to amaze myself. But I have a friend who over-commits herself quite often (that's you Michelle) and I think she is darn cool, so I am gonna forgive myself & believe I can actually accomplish everything on my plate.
So what has inspired this self realization of silliness??? My orange and yellow and mint-ish puke green kitchen. My kitchen in the house I just bought was this most uncomfortable color of green. It was in between mint and puke green somewhere. I decided it had to go. So I marched into Lowe's this morning buying random rollers, edgers, drops clothes & such. I could tell the paint guy was suspicious that I was a silly girl as I stretched my arms wide & gestured to give example of how big things were while asking "How much paint do you think I will need for that??"
He graciously provided me with the paint he thought appropriate.
So, after work & a disappointing baseball championship, I set to work. I taped and trimmed and spilled and cleaned up until nearly midnight. I have to say the "earthen" colors I chose looked much more, um, earthy on the pamphlet. Perhaps they will dry darker. Right now I have a pumpkin below the chair rail and a field of maize above. And lots of puk-ish mint green all around. I stood back and looked at my handy-work and decided I was doomed.
You see, I am a woman who does not know her limits. Sometimes this serves me well, and other times it destines me for misery. I think I can do everything... until I realize I can't. And then I ask for help. :D
So that's all. Just a silly blog about what a silly girl I have been.
