OK, I just got home. I bought my paint and they didn't look like they did in the store so Jim and I played around with the different combos and came up with some good stuff!

My colors are: Knapsack for the upper part of my wall. Dried Palm for the lower half. This will also be taken into the kitchen, same combo. Then my soffits will be painted Versatile Verve for contrast.

In the basement, upper walls will be Backyard Tan. The lower part is wallpapered a grayish blue so not touching that. The small bathroom in the basement will be painted Amber Forever. That color was supposed to go in the kitchen with the Versatile Verve but they looked horrible together. Funny how they looked awesome together at the store. lol

I wont post pics of the colors since it wont show up right but the knapsack and dried palm are more green brown and the versatile verve is a cinnamon color. The tan is well, tan and the amber forever is like a mustard yellow.

Now, who wants to help me paint? :D

Hi Everyone,

I made it to MA had one really good meeting - didn't sell any slate yet but I learned a lot so that is possitive.

Had dinner with Girlie Girl, checked into my hotel and within 45 mins was in the bathroom sick! Oh My Gosh, my stomach hurt sooooo bad! :( Still does but nothing like it was. Tried to watch a little TV and vertigo set in just trying to watch it so shut that off!

I am feeling a little better afte a short nap but I think I have gotten rid of my entire dinner so I can take my meds and settle in for the night. Got a big day ahead of me again tomorrow so need to feel much better by then.

Nighty Night

aw geez, Yabbit, is that the northern version of Montezuma's Revenge?

I had a leetle touch of de vertigo at our local tienda this afternoon...

a woman driving a Mercedes offered me water and an assist to my truck.

noticed she had diplomatic plates, WHOA !!

she turns out to be the consulate from Ecuador...

she was worried about my blood sugar.

now, just TRY explaining MS to people in whose countries MS simply doesn't occur !!

anyway, we got an invite to her estate in a nearby village, THAT oughtta be a lot of fun!

will report back after visiting next week.

:cool::D:cool:

Kay, I don't know what it was but I do know I didn't like it!!!

sorry about the vertigo, no fun!

can't wait to hear about your trip.

Char, I hope you continue to get better. Maybe the food just didn't agree with you.

I hope so, I have a long way to go tomorrow (and yes a short time to get there) and I don't need to be sick!!

Frank - DD16 turned 17 on the 25th.

Sandy - The colors sound great. What's the weather like up there? If it's cool and dry - I'm on my way. lol Have fun painting.

Kay - Oh my goodness! That will be interesting.

YB - Hope you're feeling better. I hate being away from home when I'm sick. Hope all goes well for you tomorrow.:hug:

Sarah - Still keeping all of you in my prayers.

Renee - Dang it! I missed dinner again. Lasagna sounds good. I haven't made it in a long time. Maybe I'll make a big pan of it tomorrow or Friday. Oh, Friday and then we can eat it all weekend for lunch/snacks! lol

Have fun Kay! You may never know when you need her friendship! I have the same deal with a Saudi govt official. I took care of his son who was going to school here, he said anytime I wanted to visit or was there and needed anything he would be honored to help I still have his card! LOL I should have emailed him when I was mistaken for the royal family in Germany and sent him the pictures, he would have loved it!

Sandy was telling me all about their paint blotches on the walls last night, have fun but I'm gonna take a pass on the helping you paint part!

Tricia-dang you shoulda just flew over you coulda been here by midnight! LOL

Frank-thanks yes I have two interviews today! One at 2:30 and one at 4:00 just enough time for Starbucks inbetween them! I gotta call Sandy and slurp in her ear!

Char- sorry you got sick :( did girlie girl poison you? LOL Keeping fingers crossed for big slate sales!

Good Morning everyone. Well, it looks like Hurricane Hannah is going to miss us according to the weather reports today....we'll see.

Char, I hope you're feeling better today. Vertigo can make you so sick. I wonder if GG got sick, too. If so, I'd call the restaurant where ya'll ate and gripe!

Kay, so you're using vertigo to your advantage now? Hey, if you gotta have it may as well make it work for you!! :D How are the kids doing?

Tricia, wish your DD a Happy Birthday from me.

Renee, good luck on the job interviews. The lasagna sounds good. I made lasagna for Kevin's birthday dinner and it was so yummy. I used Italian Sausage and fresh garlic....omg it was rich but soooo good. That was in July...maybe in January I will have lost enough weight to be able to splurge and have it again!

Frank, congratulations on the weight loss! I've always wondered why men lose faster than women :confused: Not fair!! I still have no appetite so I'm enjoying it as long as it lasts. :rolleyes:

Sandy, your paint colors sound beautiful. I want to paint the wall my fireplace is on a brick red color. The ceiling is vaulted so that should be interesting...think I'll have to get Kevin to do it for me. :rolleyes: He's good at things like that and enjoys painting.

Barb, how's school going? It's a good thing you live so close by...I'm sure that makes it a little easier on you. At least you get to run home in between classes sometimes.

Sorry if I missed anyone but you know it's not intentional. I have holes in my brain and sometimes things fall through...:o

Have a wonderful day, ya'll!!
