A New Thing

I am venturing out.  I have decided to test products for reviews.  For one thing, I truly enjoy getting things in the mail.  Feels like Christmas every time I get a package or an envelope.  There's that sense of anticipation as I slip the letter opener or box cutter across the tape, wondering what fun item is behind the flap.  Then the joy as I hold the brand new, unopened product in my hand.  Shampoo?  Body wash?  Cleanser?  Off to the shower I go as I have to try the product immediately!  Something for the kitchen?  I must cook something now!  You see what I'm getting at, I'm sure.

So, watch for new things in the coming days and weeks to come.  I will be honest and forthright in my opinions.  If I like something, I will say so.  If I don't, you will know it as well.

Fun times!

Redecorating

I'm not sure how this happened, but one day Joel decided to paint the living room.  He even asked me what color I would like the walls to be.  Wait...what?  Not blue?  Am I hearing correctly?  He will let me paint a room something other than his precious blue?  Am I in the right house?  I will have to move quickly.  I decided on something called Imperial Sand...a very nice pale peach.  The experts are right...the room looks opened up, larger.  Joel even did the painting, which was incredible.  I just "supervised".  Actually, I read a book and made the appropriate noises ("that looks nice, dear"..."you're doing such a nice job, honey")...you know the drill.

Don't get me wrong.  I was appreciative.  Especially about the color.  I just don't like the nitty gritty of getting things done.  I like the aftermath.  The beautiful results.

Now I have to talk him into new carpet.  Covers for the sofa and recliners.  Decor for the walls.  Do you see what new paint will do?
