Victory at last!

I have sooo much to say but let me start with a flashy and dramatic endzone dance. I'm pleased to announce that for the first time in 8 years I have WON!!! Won what, you ask? The lottery? A new car? Those would all be great but this win is much more gratifying than any material possesion. I won a decision!!! A decision? So what? What is the big deal with that? Well, I will tell you what the big deal with that is. For those of you that know my husband you have figured out that while he may look like a biker he is actually a domestic diva. I find it to be both intriguing and extremely irritating. Luckily he is as tough as he looks or the fact that he makes way prettier cupcakes than me would just ruin our whole arrangement. Anyway, he's always had pretty strong opinions about basically everything in our house. We have been at odds over the paint color for the kitchen/dining room. We both wanted to step outside of our little brown box we live and and go bold. He picked a tuscan orange sort of pumpkiny color. It was pretty. I however feel deeply in my gut that I can not live a day longer unless I can paint those walls eggplant purple. Purple?! Yes, purple. But not grandma purple. Like the darkest purple you can think of. Long story short, after 6 weeks of debate I have finally won! I already bought the paint and everything. Now that I've won I'm terrified it will completely suck and I will have to admit my defeat. At least its only a $20 risk. LOL. We are sanding down our dining room table and painting the legs black and staining the top a light greenish color. Just think about the green and purple that occur naturally on an artichoke or eggplant. Then you will see what I'm thinking. So this weekend I will get moving on my paint project. Stay tuned for my next post titled: How I have to repaint my kitchen because purple did look stupid after all. :)
