can you see it? my 18-hour paint job?

Hannah flew back to London last night, and I promised her I'd post pics of the "Hurricane Hanna paint job." She picked out this color for my bedroom walls--Cool Melon--and while here it looks warm and orange-y (like a lot of my pics), it's more of a coral-y pink. At night though, it takes on a rosy glow. I think it's lovely.

In other weekend news, the beach did not happen, however a long walk did...and some overdue errands (groceries/laundry/Ikea). I've come to realize that Ikea is just as dangerous, if not more, than Target. I went for a rug, I came out with a rug (yay), curtains, light bulbs, and a hanging light cord. So much for self-control.

Oh, and there was a break-up. Yes, that kind. It happened a while back, but it officially sunk into me yesterday. I'm okay though. As cliche as it sounds, I was holding onto a bird that wanted to fly. I know the feeling--I've been that bird. And really, that's all I'm going to say about it (today). Oh, and I love him always. Love is so rife with cliches, isn't it?

ummm when I move can you paint?! I pay in pizza slices :)

I figured there was a breakup. There was a tone in a blog a while back that made me wonder. I'm glad you're okay though.

Break ups aren't fun. But sometimes something needs to end for something wonderful to begin. . .

i won't say more because im not trying to get you or me all emo. but yeah.

anywizzle great color! its so cheerful.

and you know ikea is a menace. i go in there with a plan and come having stuck to none of it. Ikea and target. They're prolly in cahoots. I think they must put odorless gas in the ventilation system that makes you buy everything you see. lol
