A pleasant shade of gray

Our master bath has been the Partridge Family bus for the past TWO years. Yes, two years, I can hardly believe it myself. Two years ago, to the month, I stripped the wallpaper down and continued my ongoing search for the perfect serene gray/blue/green tint I saw in Martha Stewart's pantry.

I had at least five plus attempts at the right color in a checkerboard on my wall when I enlisted the neighborhood designer for hue help. After much deliberation we ended up with gray, yes gray, or actually it was Subtle Hue from Sherwin-Williams.

So, two years ago I went and bought a gallon of Subtle Hue to color our world and spent a fortune on a wallpaper border to boot.

To make a long story short, Subtle Hue and the wallpaper have sat on a shelf in the store room for two years because I honestly believe I couldn't bring myself to paint my bathroom gray, yes gray.

Yesterday for some reason I woke up and decided to take Subtle Hue off the shelf and begin painting, finally (yes, Nik - finally). I have painted like a damn fool for two days and it is done.

My bathroom isn't gray, yes gray, but the long sought after perfect, Martha Stewart pantry, serene gray/blue/green tint I have been searching for hiding for the past two years in my store room disguised as a little color called Subtle Hue.

When do I get to come see it? (sounds like a perfect opportunity to come visit. Of course, I'm not sure I want KG and JG in the same 5 mile radius, but I'm willing to sacrifice to see the potty pantry).

Six weeks

I am sidelined for at least six weeks. No tennis - no good. My bad wheel turned into immobile wheel today thanks to an air cast. Not the most attractive accessory. I had been trying to continue playing with the plantar fasciitis guess I figured it was going to be around for awhile so might as well deal with it. This plan actually worked out for the best because when I was playing on Thursday there was this loud pop in the bottom of my foot. Suddenly my heel felt better, so I thought, "Maybe it released all of the bad heel juju into the rest of my foot." Well, it was something like that. Evidently I tore a ligament in my foot which the doctor told me is really the best thing that could have happened. The reason why is it cured the plantar fasciitis. Plus the recovery time for the ligament thing is about six weeks versus potentially months or years with the other. So all in all I guess it was a good thing to tear a ligament. I am bummed because I can't do any exercise for t...

Have you met my friend Jane?

I am a complete Jane Austen junkie, in fact I think that I need to maybe seek help. Shelly tells me I need help and we all know Shel tells it like it is, so it must be true. "Hello, my name is Susan and I love Jane. Jane Austen." I read "Pride and Prejudice", annually. Yes, every year I spend a weekend with Elizabeth Bennett and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Now that I think about it I may need to skip my little tradition this year because I have so many other never read books piled up and there is a due date looming from the library. The reason I share this closeted truth with you my friends is because there is a TV event starting this weekend on PBS. It is basically the 10 weeks of Jane, every Sunday night PBS will air a adaptation of Jane Austen's novels. Here is the schedule. So, if you have never had the opportunity to get to know Jane, maybe it is time. Think about it, there is no new TV, it's cold out and you can learn new some new sayings for Monday. Nothing ...
