blue, beautiful blue
This weekend my room went from blue to, well blue. I know, you're wondering why should I tell you about this if it didn't change, but the thing is it did. It's beautiful. I liked it before, I love it now. The difference of course is in the color of blue. The tone.Before it was a darker, brighter (I know, it seems like an oxymoron but just go with me on this) color that leaned toward aqua without being anything really like aqua. Can you picture it? Now it's a lovely shade of sort of a medium sky blue, a bit lighter but still rich and more true blue (not aqua in anyway what-so-ever). It's actually quite similar to the top on a stick of Dove deodorant, if you're familiar. If not, next time you're in the grocery store go check it out.
Ok, so you're thinking: what's wrong with me that I painted my room the same color as my deodorant packaging? You see, that's the thing. I picked out this color months ago and it's been living on my refrigerator so I could verify that I did indeed want that to cover the walls of my room. It did, I do and now it is. And I didn't discover, at least consciously, the uncanny similarity until yesterday morning as I was applying my deodorant in the bathroom, with my room reflected in the mirror behind me. Just amazing.
We painted Saturday (my parents helped, you see) and we even did the ceiling. Not that exciting right? Wrong. I discovered that not only were all the walls in the house painted some ugly sort of beige when I first moved in, but apparently the ceilings are, too. Now my bedroom ceiling is bright, beautiful white. It boggles the mind how someone with any sense could intentionally paint everything in an inner townhouse, with a whopping 6 windows, some shade of light sucking beige. I just don't get it. The only answer I can decide on is that they really wanted to keep it dark. Maybe that way they wouldn't have to really see each other naked, even with the lights on.
I try very hard not to judge. I do. I met them at closing, they were not pretty. I guess I don't really blame them.
Oh... Valerie loves me! (sorry, can't get that song out of my head and thought I'd share)

i just ADORE dove deodorant. im actually a dove whore... cause if its a product that they make... i have it. face wash? check. face lotion? check. body wash? check. regular soap? check. deodorant? check. the one thing i dont do is the shampoo and conditioner... they make my hair TOO moisturized. but other than that i LOVE the 1/4 moisturizing products!
so yes... i know what color your room is... and think it sounds GREAT! even though you wouldnt let me see your room when i came to your house that once cause it was 'messy' ... sheesh!
Well now it's a construction zone of blue paint, wood floor shavings, and the like - but you are more than welcome to come on down! Actually, you and Arleigh need to make a trip because I do believe I am owed an ice cream date...
