And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

That's not too far off from what I painted my bedroom, except the brand I used called it "nightingale grey." It's very soothing.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I kind of like Pantone's ... I think the pale blue and pink is pretty. One year it was emerald green, which I liked. Even got color of the year nail polish for that one. But brown? it's one of my least favorite colors - I don't even wear it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

nightingale grey

from Behr? That's a pleasant soft grey. I like it. The other one, I don't know, it's the visual equivalent of nails on a chalkboard to me.

rose Quartz and serenity basically light pink and blue.

So, BOTH nursery colors together.

Rose Quartz & Serenity = Steven Universe & Firefly

These colors are why I can't find clothes in colors I like. Dammit, I'm going to have to learn how to sew properly now.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm sorry Cass. I'm holding you and your family in my thoughts and hoping that your niecephews are found.

Also like the griege, esp if it were nail polish. Actually, I like the pink and the blue for nails too.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Poised Taupe: do not like. It looks on the edge of being purply to me, which should make it better, but I don't know, kinda looks like bruised beige.

When my parents' were repainting their interiors, Mom wanted her walls to be the color of California's golden hills of wheat in early fall, late afternoon. We were unable to find that color. All of my walls are color, although the exterior "stucco" is beige (front door is red, living room orange and salmon, kitchen yellow, office green, spare room blue, bedroom purple and lavender, bathroom a greyer blue).

Rose Quartz and Serenity are more up my alley, especially the way they show them together on Pantone's website. I'm not in any rush to paint anything those colors, though. Or buy fabric or whatever.

Coworkers birthday means nacho bar and it's ice cream social day so forget my diet until tomorrow, I guess. I'm okay with that. Would rather go back to sleep (carrying 47 pounds up and down a mountain, I'm fine, bowling for two hours and I am sore and exhausted, apparently. Although Tai Chi got me to the point of not needing to limp last night, that was good)

Ice cream update: I opted for the skinny cow ice cream sandwich but then put it in a bowl and added whipped cream, chocolate syrup, crushed girl scout cookies and maraschino cherries. Because.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Mom wanted her walls to be the color of California's golden hills of wheat in early fall, late afternoon.

That's an amazing desire.

NB: Rose Quartz and Serenity are 2016 colors.
