I have spent a lot of time in Home Depot this lately. I am now best friends with Mr. Imixpaintatthehomedepot. He has coached me through the perils of painting over unknown paint with a primer and helped me pick out spray paint for my projects. Thanks Mr. IMPATHD oh and thanks for getting me back a couple of hundred on the paint by telling me about the refund program. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

So by now you’ve guessed I’ve been working on a few projects around the amazing technocolor house. I grew up in a house where spray paint was a staple just like flour, sugar and toilet paper. Not that we used the spraypaint for toilet paper or that we spraypainted toilet paper. Well not on a regular basis anyway. I digress. So I told Kahuna I wanted to paint this little cabinet. He looked at me and said “with spraypaint?” What did he expect me to paint it with finger paints? It just never dawned on me that other people didn’t use spray paint to color their world.I forgot to take a 'before' picture so here is kind of what it looked like only not that nice and the after picture. Yes I did it with Krylon because nothin says love like Krylon.

I went to a seminar last weekend and guess what? Once again I got seated behind this guy. If I would have had a can of spray paint I would have spray painted his turbon gold.

Did you know you can shop Goodwill on line? Yep it's shopgoodwill.com. Now I wonder if you can get them to come pick up your stuff on line?

Which leads me to another question. Why do I donate stuff to Goodwill and then go and buy more stuff from Goodwill? Why is everyone elses stuff so much more appealing than mine?

Here are some things that make me happy.
Trooper Bob telling stories
Being able to say I knew him when...
Travis is now playing for Boston's farm team
Matilda and Missy
Seeing my little nephew all growed up and haired over.
Need I say more?
Happy 4th!
Now go on and be good to one another and remember thoughts become things, think good ones.
