Tonight, I went back to Weight Watchers. I had been absent for three weeks because of one thing or another. (Pringles, mostly, hardy-har-har.) Anyway, I gained two pounds, which–believe me, was actually fairly good news considering my un-Weight Watchers behavior the past three weeks.
After Weight Watchers, I headed to the grocery store, desperate for provisions (since I ate everything in the house–just kidding!). They’ve remodeled the grocery store closest to my house and for that reason, I wandered up and down most every aisle, picking out fat-free chili and skim milk and mini-Oreos (for the kids, wink-wink).
My cart was about half full when I glanced over and saw my Weight Watchers leader, Dianna. Instinctively, reflexively, without even a conscious thought, I averted my eyes and violently swerved my cart in the opposite direction as if I committed a felony by picking out food for purchase.
I know. I have some issues regarding food. Funny, huh?
Now, back to my “Caramel Honey” walls (or “Honey Caramel”–who can remember? I just know that I want to dip apples in the paint).
I put a second coat of paint on during nap-time today. This is what we used to paint. It’s a miracle, I’m telling you! If you are going to paint, buy one of these Paint Sticks. No drips, no drabs, easy as caramel-honey pie!
As for the color–picture the orange-yellow color that Little Tikes (the toy company) uses in so many of its toys. Like this basketball hoop. That’s the color of my walls. The intensity, anyways. Maybe slightly more orange.
When my friend stopped by the other day and I mentioned I was going to paint my walls the color of my hideous second-hand couch, she looked aghast. I said, “Well, my theory is that if I paint the walls that color, my couch will disappear.” She looked completely unconvinced, but I was right. My couch is all but invisible now, sitting against my vivid walls.
For an accent piece, I’m thinking of moving the Little Tikes basketball hoop next to the couch.
Just kidding. What I really want are purple velvet pillows and new luxurious cream-colored carpet. Cream. And Honey. All I need now is a little hazelnut fudge topping and Granny Smith apples.
(Oh, and by the way, why has my profile and picture and list of blogs and everything slipped down the page? Or is it just my computer which displays my blog incorrectly? Does anyone know?)

Did you look to see what she was buying?
We painted our boys’ room basketball orange. I wonder if it is similar to the color on your living room walls. Smart idea, though, about making the couch disappear!!

When my side bar stuff dropped to the bottom it was because something in my main column was wider than allowed. When I fixed that my side bar moved back up where it was supposed to be.

I agree with Stacy, it has something to do with your width. I’ve had it happen to me, but I had added something to my sidebar that was too wide for the space. Have you added anything new to it of late?

Why not recover the couch you hate?? Depending on the design it can be as simple as a staple gun and lots of fabric!

Well, if I recovered the couch now, it wouldn’t match my walls! 😉 I thought it would be easier to paint the walls than to recover the couch–and cheaper, too.

Last year after a WW meeting I took the kids to Jason’s Deli – a place where it is possible to each points-consciously. Anyway, I got my food (a wrap and some fruit if I remember correctly) and sat down with the kids in a booth next to the line of people waiting to place their orders. I was facing the people as they inched by. Two-thirds of the way through my meal I realized I still had my WW name tag on! It was my embarrassing moment of the year. Good thing I had chosen foods that were healthy!
