What's on your agenda for today?

I'm painting again!
anybody who has little to do is welcome for a coffee....all interruptions gratefully received!
 

Yesterday started out cold but sunny, and I got too hot in my down coat. Today I just wore a fleece jacket and I froze. I took the bus into town to go grocery shopping and pick up our car from the garage.

When I was shopping I tried to buy non-alcohol beer. It was behind the alcohol barriers that are up until 10:00am. I was checking out just before 10 and the cashier noticed it was non-alcohol and tried to scan it. Screen popped up that she was trying to sell alcohol before 10:00am. Illegal. Sigh. Supervisor came over, cashier in trouble. Supervisor said to me that I must have gone behind the barrier to get it or it wouldn't have rung up as beer. She told me I could be arrested for that. FFS!!! :mad: It turned 10am while all this was going on but I still wasn't allowed to buy it. I am pissed! Got home and wrote an email to the store's headquarters. Told them what happened and how ridiculous it was to code an item as beer when it has no alcohol. I always get a reply when I email them.

Anyway, I'll do my home workout this afternoon, some laundry, housework.

I can relate to that. If I wasn't dieting I'd bake us some oatmeal raisin cookies and bring them. :D
 

I'd help paint. I'd even bake cookies and bring them along. By the time I got there, though, they'd be stale. Oh...and I'd have to drive because I hate flying. Is there a bridge yet? LOL
 
Ameriscot, we should probably just fuggedabouddit since the road to hell is already well-paved with good intentions:) I'm going to stick to my plan to go the garden center...
 
Vivjen: I hope you have much success with the painting! Whenever I have to paint, I turn some music on pretty loud and eventually I sing along with the songs I know the words to.

AS: Your description re non-alcoholic beer in the store is sort of what I call "Wrecked Rules." This is about how companies love to conjure up rules galore for their products and their place of business but have absolutely put no effort into how to best implement those rules. In the state I live in, there are no alcoholic beverages sold in grocery stores. There are separate stores that just sell alcoholic beverages and that's it. In Virginia, where I used to live, wine and beer were sold in grocery stores with other separate stores just selling gin, vodka, and all the rest of the hard stuff.

Much rain here today - this is a plus because it's washing away the leftover snow. If the rain stops, I hope to go to one of the local stores to get some fig jam. My next door neighbor, Jack, told me about the place because we both like figs and until now there wasn't a fig to be found. This new store has figs, fig jam, and lots of other stuff not usually found out here in the country.
 
I wish you luck fig hunting, Kath!
i have done some more horrid ceiling...while listening to some radio plays!

The blue toilet and sink are the old bathroom.

Well, the accessories are really, what I'm into when it comes to as far as decoration, not so much the stationary items. Like, I wouldn't necessarily have blue walls or a blue sofa, but things like curtains, rugs, towels and so forth, everything in my place, including kitchen dish towels, that sort of thing used to be shades of blue. But even so, I still would be happy even if the toilet or other items that came with the place were blue, it wouldn't put me off in the least. :)

I always get out of doing the ceilings - hubby has to. If I look up too long it's like there's no blood going into my head and I feel faint.

I did love the blue colour of the toilet and sink and if we could have found the same colour I would have wanted it. The bathroom now looks very light and bright but has just enough colour in it I think. The wallpaper (which my hubby rolled his eyes when I picked it out as did a male friend) is tiny bluish/lavender flowers. And my flower photos were all shades of purple. Maybe some frilly curtains next? ;)

Our master bedroom has a solid blue wallpaper, and the kitchen walls above the tiles are blue. No, wouldn't have a blue sofa though.

The colours of your bathroom are lovely, blue is so soothing, makes me thing of the ocean and other relaxing things, I see it and I remember to breathe calmly again, just such a beautiful colour. I have way too many items of clothing in varying shades of blue as well. :D

Blue is the favourite colour of both my husband and I. Our bedroom is totally blue. I've always read that blue is the most soothing colour and is very common for bedroom colours.

Our main bathroom is yellow.

Very nice, Ameriscot,

This is my old bedroom, my present one is a mess, due to my having removed my regular bed now that I just sleep in the recliner, and made an extra makeshift closet, I will get a pic once I'm yet to get it completely organized since I did that the last few days I rearranged it again. My bedding is blue and white, you can't see the color all that well, I had better pics, but I can't find them.

April, that bedroom is lovely and I love the blue/white bedding. My bedroom is going thru some changes too, and I'm considering blue/white scheme. I used to use a blue lightbulb in my bedroom at one time which created a very relaxing atmosphere.

AS - sorry about the mixup, LOL, your old bathroom looks so nice that I mistook it for the new. The new white is lovely. I think your right, curtains or blinds would be nice. Not that I'm an old fuddy-duddy, but I love lace curtains. If I had a window like that I'd want lacy curtains, like we had when I was a kid. But modern is nice too.
 
AS, the cloakroom( cookie that's what we call the bathroom if it has no bath in it) looks pretty..although I agree the window need 'something''... I too loved the blue, never seen a sink and toilet blue before.. did you put the same pattern wallpaper on the walls again..it looks very similar in the pictures

Clicked on your link for the bedroom photos one or 2 we've seen before of course, but I loved the picture of the blue ciling rose.. I have white roses in my living room, I'd love to have them same colour as yours, but sadly they wouldn't match my decor..


April I agree with cookie your old bedroom look quite plush..I'll look forward to seeing clearer pictures..


VJ...I don't need to get a plane to come and get coffee at yours...but I'm going to wait until your all finished until I interrupt you for that coffee, I do hate to disturb someone while they're working so hard.. :coffeelaugh:

Thanks ladies, I still have the bedding, I switch it up with and still use it every now and then, just not in the same way now that I took apart the king size bed I had in my room, now just a twin with my recliner sits in the room. Oh and I just threw that lamp away a couple of days ago. kind of wish I hadn't even though it wasn't working.
 
Hi, kids. Just came home from shopping with my daughter and g'daughter. We left at 10 this morning. I swear I don't get this tired working all day in a big house!

Gosh, y'all had fun without me:( I love talking about decorating and dreaming about what I wish I could do. My place is more "furnished" than decorated. LOL
 
Picked up my new dentures Thursday night.... Horrible... I tried to eat... Sores in the back on my lower gum.. I was so depressed.

Just got back from the Prosthodontist... A few minor changes... some grinding and fitting... O M G What a difference!!!! They feel wonderful.. and look even better than wonderful!!! I am so happy!! I finally have the teeth I have always dreamed of!!
