HGTV

My sweetie loves to watch HGTV. It doesn't really matter what show is on -- if it's HGTV, it's all good. (I, on the other hand, find most of the design shows extremely annoying.)

This is dangerous for me because any viewing of HGTV puts the quiet stability of my home in serious jeopardy.

The targets of the moment are the mantle in the living room ("It's just this big, white THING in the middle of the wall!"), the paint in the upstairs office ("It's just wrong!"), the kitchen table (I'm not really sure what the objection is to the adorable kitchen table, but it's on the hit list), and the bed in the master bedroom ("What would you think about hanging the back of a sofa on the wall as a headboard?").

I'm not into changing things up just for the fun of it. I don't mind doing household projects, but it's not my favorite activity. I'm the kind of person who's perfectly happy to leave the furniture right where it is. That way, I don't break my toes on it in the middle of the night. But these things make my sweetie happy -- and that makes for a happy home, in general.

I'm leaving town next week. Who knows what will be hanging on the wall where the mantle is now?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Colorado has the weirdest weather!

Thursday it was so warm and sunny I drove my convertible with the top down. Friday it snowed like crazy. Today it's sunny again, and the snow is melting.

I never know how to dress.
