Now that the cats have their bathroom painted, we figured it was time for ours. If you don't work for Crayola or Benjamin Moore, you may not know what Parisian Mist looks like, but it is a light green. This one went up in 1 coat, well maybe 1-1/2 after two coats of primer, but it looks good. I don't know if we'll do any of these other rooms, they are a lot larger.
The rain continues, but the projects are limiting during the week. I've already burnt out the motor on one shredder, cleaning out some last moving boxes that have been sitting in a closet for a year. I pitched a local restaurant, Blend, to an industry magazine for their Mezorca. It isn't a whale, it is a Mexican-style corn on the cob, with mayo, cheese, red pepper and lime. They have it for dinner and even brunch, among what they call Tapattizers. I hope I can help out a local joint get some national attention. Now I'm hungry for some fresh sweet corn. That frozen stuff just doesn't cut it. Thank goodness Florida is growing it right now.

Home Improvement
How many shades of blue could there possibly be? What exactly is Shore Club Blue? I feel like I'm looking for a striped tie to match a crest on my blazer for a christening (yacht, not child). I thought I had come to know too much when I learned of Perriwinkle. Yet, we finally decided on a color for the second bathroom. Now the fun part, painting. I think I may save that for next weekend. One step at a time.
We seemed to make a commitment to dedicate March to home improvement. We have 2 bathrooms to work on, including painting, new towel bars, shelving and hooks, lots and lots of hooks. Amy even hinted in an overhaul of the medicine cabinet, or at least the door. When I pointed out that it was imbedded in the wall she seemed to relent to the latter. We also have a futon to remove, a bookshelf to move, a desk to bring in and a chair to find for the living room. We haven't even made it to the other rooms that need lighting, paint (possibly) and maybe even more furniture.
I made an attempt to move to some more energy efficient lighting, but I have not had much luck finding lights that Amy likes. Hopefully we'll be able to find something she can live with that will reduce our daily energy needs.
