I just spilled purple paint on me...

...my shorts, my top and my socks, oh....and my shoes. I just threw them out because I didn't want to deal with them...I had to wash the floor which took the brunt of the spill. I got it off the floor but the jury's still out on my clothes. Oh, there was also a bit on the counter, the microwave and the cabinet door. I should have stayed in bed today.

Instead I went to Home Depot...again. When I was planning to paint my room I asked my son how many gallons he thought it would take. He said, "Oh...two or three." So, I got two gallons and decided that I could easily buy a third if need be. Well, it needn't be...I painted the entire room with under a gallon so I had an extra gallon of custom made pink paint. I didn't want to have two bedrooms painted the same color and knowing what my granddaughter likes, I decided to add blue to the pink to make it purple.

It took a LOT of blue...but now I have purple paint. It's an ugly purple, but it'll do for a little girl...especially after I put a bunch of pink butterfies in the room. She loves purple and pink...everything she colors is purple and pink. When I was her age, I did the same thing. My bedroom was pink with white trim...hers is just gonna be purple with pink trim. Well, not the actual trim, that would be uglier than the purple by itself. But all the trim-MINGS will be pink.

When I got home I opened the can to paint a bit of the wall just to see what it was gonna look like and thought, "Oh my God... when it dries it'll be darker uglier purple than it is now.". But, as I said, it'll be fine. I can easily fill a room with pink and purple stuff. The only problem is that the little boy sleeps in there too.

He loves Spiderman so I thought that I could make him a corner area that was all things Spiderman. I could even get him a hammock to sleep in and call it a spider web. He might like that. But first, I have to paint the room ugly purple. When I finish I'll take a picture of the ugly purple...or I may not even make you wait that long if I start to really get disgusted by the color.

I was just watching an unaired episode of Gilligan's Island where they have a different Professor and two secretaries named Ginger and Bunny instead of a movie star and an innocent from Kansas. They were both pretty tarty...I must say. They made a good choice when they went with the less believeable scenario...a movie star and an ingenue should be sailing together. It certainly made for better TV. Those secretaries weren't the type of characters that buys our loyalty as were Mary Ann and Ginger.

Oh, another thing, it was originally a 6 hour tour. I'm not sure why they made it a 3 hour tour...they must have had a meeting over that. 6 or 3? People actually made arguments for one side or another. Whatever, it was a 6 year cruise unless you count the movies that freed our friends from the Island. I suppose that was nice but that meant that I could never hope to become shipwrecked and drop in on the Castaways...everybody else in the ocean seemed to visit them so why not me?

I have to take a pan off the stove before it burns...I left the oil alone too long. Gotta run and save the house.

See ya!
