Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hey, Cowgirl, I liked some of these a lot: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

With such a tiny room, and the black and white tiles on the lower half of the walls, I'm actually thinking pretty seriously about pink walls. Like this! [link]

I do like that.

OK, sausage "muffins" waiting for oven #2 to preheat. And hummingbird nectar mixed up because I noticed I was low. Definitely time for a break.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Go with pink and turquoise and it'll look like a 50's diner.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I will echo sara's point about a bright color in a small bathroom affecting how you look in the mirror. My bath in NYC was orangish when I moved in and I always looked sick in the mirror until I painted the walls a grey blue. maybe paint the one wall with mirror on it hot pink? and artwork to compliment that color on the other white walls?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

That's a good ide....wait, did msbelle just advocate for LESS PINK? My world is askew.

I once lived in an apartment with classic pink and black tiles and I still miss it!

I would not pick a color that I wouldn't wear, so that should help with that, right?

I like the combo of pink and black and white. But I would pick a pink that is more like a shell than vibrant.

K has folded every piece of clothing in the house and I have washed all of the dishes and de-gunked the tub. Plus shopping, coffee and tea, more shopping and trying to send an eshakti dress back. Oh and watching more hockey.

Can I take a nap now?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Go nap! Choose nap!

I went to work and did enough stuff that the focus of my "how the hell do I get everything done" thoughts shifted from work stuff to house stuff, so then I came home. I've done a little of the house stuff, but I think a nap may happen before much else.

Naps for everyone!

Except me, I don't feel like napping for some reason. I will rest for a bit before tackling the blackberries, but not nap. Quiche is cooling, soufflé is in the oven, the sparkly dress I wore to the Holiday Party stayed in with the rest of the laundry long enough to make at least two loads also sparkly.
