Football

{via}

 

In honor of football season, football pre-season, football off-season:

 

 

Are you ready for some football?

 

Remember when Hank Williams Jr. was clearly extremely sober on Fox News and compared the president to Hitler and Netanyahu?  And then the general public took his comments seriously? And then ESPN fired him from singing on Monday night football?

Because obviously all of those bullet points are interrelated to form a cohesive complete thought thus natural chain of unthinkable events.

Cocktails.

This is the most appropriate and only acceptable response I plan to expect in light of the news I've just shared with you all. 

 

 

French White

And moving on to the next room.  Yes this is quite the ordeal.  Are you ready fo' this?

I want the walls a French white-Sherwin Williams Dover White and Alabaster received the ravest of reviews so here she goes...

 

Alabaster on the top, Dover White on the  bottom and in this lighting they look the same but I believe I'm going with the Dover White.  We'll do vertical stripes alternating in flat and high gloss.  I had originally planned on doing these stripes in the same color, but Josh {why does he even HAVE an opinion?} wants the colors to alternated.  I just don't know about that.  I want subtle.  Ultimately, this is the look I'm going for:

 Catch my drift?

;o)

Shah-co-lahhh

And here we have it, moving on to the upstairs powder room.  Thinking we'll go chocolate brown.   That's "Shah-co-lahhh."  Not "Chocolate"

Chocolate for small spaces hey why not.

Chocolate for a powder room?  Even better.  Don't you want to powder up righcheer?

Or here even?  Ok we're not going that drastic in terms of beautification because if you want to know the God's honest truth, I don't plan in being in this house forever, nahmean?  I mean I may or may not be scoping out fmrealty every now and again for the fun in it.  ShoWhat?  And if you repeat that to my husband I will lie bold faced.

Sherwin Williams Less Brown is the bottom shade and I think it wins.  It has more of a lavender undertone, which everyone loves.  Because lavender is amazing.  The color and the aroma.  Plus I'm trying to be realistic in that the other two look like I smeared Jello Pudding on the walls to entertain my child.

Which I would never do inside my home because I hate cleaning up huge messes of that nature.  In your home, if we were invited, maybe. Probably.
Ok I would because it seems like fun and I know he'd love it.

Since. January.

So.  Nevermind that I've been talking about this since January.  It's actually coming to fruition.  Here we go-pink as a neutral.  Obviously I've done some research...

Think calm cozy come sit a spell. 

Then I checked into Sherwin Williams' most preferred pinks.  Here you have it party people.  Verbena on top and White Dogwood underneath.  And I am quite aware of the fact that in this image...they look exactly the same.

 

And a Nikon 7 Bajillion would've been nice to more accurately capture the truest true hue of hues, however, you can manage with Siri and the iPhone 4s images, of that I am sure.

 

Ever notice how soooooome people try and lure you into their blog with great images of boring nothingness and you honestly think you've come upon a great blog until you realize.  You've judged the book by it's cover aka the work of an expensive camera.

?

No me either.

Ask Sherwin Williams.

 

Do you see this mess?  What kind of wretched miserable people do you think we are?  Paint.  Ugh. The bain of my existence.  I really should be more humiliated that we've been here for 2 years and the upstairs is still covered in builders base paint BEIGE. BEIGE people.  I've been looking at beige upstairs for two years. Disgust.

 

So you're going to be thrilled for me when I tell you that we've hired someone to do the job when we {my husband and I} are both able bodied individuals with 2 working hands and arms CHOOSING not to take on this task because painting makes anyone want to maim something. 

 

But apparently before they come and make our things fabulous we have to pick out our own colors, they don't just supply live-in interior designers that get wrapped into the overall labor fee.  {They should be.  I swear those painter people get paid more than I do.}

 

In all of my complaining I have to tell you-I found a Lending Tree of Odd Jobs while searching: Thumb Tack.  Ok so: you fill out what service you're looking for, where you live and individuals contact you, offer their price and capowee, you pick the best of the best.

I think that about wraps up my educational series on : How To Get Out of Doing Things You Hate Doing and Justifying It To Your Husband and Getting Your Way and Still Managing To Complain About Something.

Smith Mountain Lake

Have you been wondering what I've been up to?

You don't have to.

Because I'll tell you.

We high-tailed it to Virginia and hit up Smith Mountain Lake with our peeps.

This was before JoJo's WakeBoarding Concussion.

The Girls. 

Move over Lena Dunham.  I could easily change my name to Shoshanna and steal your thunder.
Just kidding I would never do that to you.  Plus, that doesn't even make sense.

And this is Josh learning how to wakeboard.

Thank you Jon and Jodi for your hospitahlitah.  Great time had by all, obviously.
