hurry up and spring...

i am ready for it. i need it. today it is raining again. yes better than snow, but guess what? more of that is in the forecast... 

so let's just focus on the pastels shall we? the lovely pale shades. they can really cheer up a grey day like today. i can be all serious with chocolate brown and deep cherry red, but my alter ego is a sucker for soft pinks and greens. i have no control over it. a lesson to share: when we were first married i was convinced we needed a sea-foam green sofa. someone talked me out of it. thanks mom. so...many years later we finally did buy a sofa. brown. my point here. don't spend the big bucks on big stuff that satisfies your alter ego. make those the little things. things you can store easily or take to the thrift shop without a trailer on the back of your car...
