My foot hurts and I don't know why.
Chuck said, "put ice on it and elevate it."
Sound advice!
My Mother (the R.N.) said, "put a cold bottle of wine on it, and sip from the bottle."
Sounder Advice
So, I finally painted my green stripe. I have had this green stripe in my kitchen, way up high, where I couldn't reach when I painted the kitchen brown. I pulled out the ladder and did it today. The green stripe has been a wonderful conversation piece, though. I expect I shall miss it. People who sat in my living room would allow their eyes to drift upwards to view this shocking border along the ceiling. I think the first question they would ask had something to do with whether or not it was intentional. It was very amusing.
I know it made me look lazy. And I was, so I guess that's ok.
The next home improvement is either going to be wallpapering my bathroom, or painting the hallway. The hallway boasts the only white walls still in the house.
I got a quote on painting the exterior of the house. That was in April or May. The painter calls every month or so to let me know that I am still on his list. The house needs to be painted before the Second Coming. It really does!
I need landscaping- badly! And new flooring. Light fixtures. Money.
If I were very rich, I would have that house by the sea that I told you about, and it would have formal gardens with a fountain. And Gargoyles. And griffons and dragons and statues of Greek mythology. Lots of statues.
And Ivy.
I started out telling you about my hurt foot, and I end up dreaming of riches!
If I were rich I would go to the doctor...He would probably tell me to elevate my foot and put ice on it. What fun would that be?

I'm so impressed that you got way up there and painted away the green. Really. That's scary.
I'm sorry your foot hurts. I like your Mom's solution... sounds good to me.
Oh, Handsome One,
you are going to spark a scandal!
Okay, if we use logic here you'll end up much happier. You see, you said that you need to paint your house before the Second Coming. But since, at the second coming, it will no longer matter if you house is painted or not, you can just forget about painting it now and call it good. Move on to something more interesting, like reading a good book. Or dreaming about Greek mythology.
Okay you two.
Do you need to get a room?
Such scandalous comments.
Tsk tsk.
Oh, dear!
See how many comments come up when there's a juicy tid-bit?
Clearly it's rime for a new blog entry!
