Paint

This is the colour I'm painting our bedroom. Heavy Goose by Martha Stewart. In our room it's much more lavender than in this picture. Part of me wants to paint all our furniture white but my love of white is very much counteracted by my hatred of dusting.

So: thoughts on a duvet cover? What do we think?

For walls

We are staying in our apartment another year. To me this means paint. To me this means buy things and stick them on the wall. To me this means line drawings of the city in which I was born on my living room walls. Yes please please.

Color, According to Sex

My boyfriend sent this to me via Reddit. Yes on all accounts.

Returned

I've been away because I've been sick. Really not good sick. Spending our grocery money on accupuncture sick. Pill popping sick. Hiding hiding hiding sick. Not very good at staying awake past 7:30 sick, not very good at getting up before 7:30 sick. Dear Husband, please make dinner and fend for yourself sick. Bad bad spring sick. But the weather is getting a wee bit warmer and my accupuncture seems to be working a bit and I've been home and my mother bought me sturdy, clompy clogs for clomping and walking. And I've seen a new nephew and I've snuggled with one of my sisters for one whole week. So I'm back. Slightly the worse for wear. Anyone still out there?

Today

Sitting here at work actually thinking that I would like to be an eskimo and live in an igloo, then got worried I would lose Susie because she is white and wouldn't be able to find her in the snow and a polar bear might eat her. Then realized it's 65 degrees and I'm in North Carolina and apparently an adult. Whatever.
