I was shopping at Trader Joes and a young twenty something store employee stopped me, "Mam", she said, (Mam?? is she really talking to me? mam??) "where did you get your cardigan?" (now that's more like it) "LOFT" I answer. And she stares blankly--"you know, Ann Taylor's LOFT?" Still blank. So I instruct her where to find a store, and move along. So I have found my niche-my choice of caridigan color-still cool, my choice of store to purchase it at--only cool to those of us "Mams".

The painting award . . .
I have come up for air. After what seems like days and days of painting--i"m done. Well not really. Just done with the color paints. I still have white painting to do. YOu know--bathrooms, closets, etc. etc. I forgot my camera so I have no pictures of my friends helping me paint.
But as I mentioned in a previous post I have a rockin' group of friends. I thought I'd Give each of the painting helper friends and award:
Lindsay--Coming out of the closet (and leaving it sparkling white)
Sheri--Sky High award (every painting job needs a tall person)
Cicily--Wraping it up (The paint brushes were still useable in the morning--genius)
Marlo--Stroke of Genius (She can cut in like nobody's business)
Lenor--Super Trooper (at 38 weeks or so pregnant--she still showed up and got the job done today)
Darcy--Almost my baby's mama (Darcy watched my kids for all of Monday and today as well as showing up on Tuesday night to paint--and then watch people paint while sipping Ginger Ale)
I'm sure I would have had more helpers but sometimes husbands like to play softball. Thanks for the help from everyone--I knew I could count on you and that alone is priceless.
Oh--and don't forget
Husaband Extraordinare--HY. He didn't paint, but he did put up ceiling fans so we could see, even though he wanted to be working on tile.
Are you all excited--I think I may take pictures of the colors to show you all. I was going to wait until we moved in and I had them all decorated, but I'm sure you're wanting to know what i went with. Stay tuned
