I wish I had gotten a photo of the eggplant living room wall with the orange, medium brown and dark poo brown color samples on it because it really told a story. The samples were each about 2 feet by 2 feet and it painted a story of equal parts indecision and desperation. And compromise because we decided to go with the just-drank-a-bottle-of-pinot-noir shit brown color, you know, the $5 mis-matched gallon of paint I started off with 3 wasted weekends ago, but after we got it slathered up there we decided the satin finish was a little too flat and a shinier finish would pick up the light better. So we're going to be adding a glaze to it to heighten the color, which of course means at least one more layer of paint. Yep, the room keeps getting smaller with each coat of paint applied to the walls. Soon the huge orange couch won't fit in the room anymore and we'll have to buy a love seat to replace it-----and then start the whole color choosing process over again.
I went over to Out of Character and was pleasantly surprised that Erin had put her sock monsters up for adoption on Etsy and as luck would have it, I snatched up one of the last two available monsters. I'm so excited! Can't wait for the box to arrive. Erin's is one of my absolutely favorite blogs, so check her craziness out and maybe you'll be able to snatch up the last remaining sock monster. Hurry, supplies limited.

With enough Pinot, you can solve pretty much anything!
Well, that's usually my motto but here lately I've been drinking rose and pinot gris. Because they are summertime wines.
Aw, what a sweetheart you are! Thank you!! I hope you love him like your very own... sock.
