ok?

i've managed to fritter away a lot of the day...i got a lot of heave-ho done, but then got lost in an ongoing research project...it seems that i get close close close to an end point, and then take a left turn down another interesting possibility.  this will be the project that never ends, i suspect.  there must be something in the air, as far as the clutter clearing - i know of 3 other friends that are doing major digs right now.  i'm at the point where i just want it done.  i want to paint and re-purpose spaces and change things around and do whatever the trendy word is for redecorating.  husband is heading out on a sailing adventure, and i have plans for the house while he's away.  the last time i did this, though, it was a bit of a disaster - his daughter & i painted the kitchen red.  i can't revisit the horror entirely, due to intervention necessity, but let me say that red is the hardest color paint to cover.  ever.  including 2 or more coats of primer.  so don't paint red.  this time, having learned the hard way, i'm just having the bubble thing fixed, and maybe  freshen up the livingroom a bit, paint-wise.  similar color but brighter and, well, fresher.  the taupe we have in there is 11 years old already, and has turned that peachy sort of color that i despise.  and there is no color that i like for 11 years, so i'll find something.  maybe be wild and do beige.  don't get me started.  my hairdresser is gutting her house and re-doing it with reclaimed metal stuff and crusty things.  i hope my roots grow fast so i can get my decorating-with-metal fix from her.  she's a fantastic artist.  her shop is an amazing masterpiece called Miracles, in Fayetteville NY.  go there.  trust me.  if you come in for the show, we'll take a car out there.  she's open 7 days, which shocked me.  usually only mall places are open 7 days.  but these are all Master stylists and estheticians.  i had a pedi and a root cover today.  took diva for a walk and kept smelling chocolate.  my legs.  chocolate mint.  i could just lick my legs, if i could reach.  ok going places now, so i'd better say bye.
