Good thinking. I'm with you on that.

Oh, eew.
Everybody thinks it's candy, but it's snot.

c'mon. You know you've tasted your own boogers. Admit it.
i wish i could shoot a jumper like allen houston. the dude never sweated. he just loped down the court, caught the rock and swished a beautiful arching J and then turned and jogged back on "D". i always had to play like kurt rambis or anthony mason where i worked like heck and never really got anything accomplished.

I wish that sitting at my desk every day, working on the paper of my life (which I'm submitting for publication! yay!) didn't involve me taking "breaks" for facebook and GR every 23 minutes.
I'm pavlovian - read a chapter, write a paragraph, get online. Wake up at 6: 30, lather, rinse, repeat until 7:30.
I wish I could avoid hitting inanimate objects more often (need Dodge +3!). Can't avoid a day without hitting something and getting bruised (black/blue).
The other drivers wish you could, too, Sue. ;)
I wish I could argue better. I always think of the stuff I should have said after the argument>>Gaah!

No way, Sally. You need to live in Chicago in order to be the best parallel parker in the world. You get tons of practice.Parallel parking is a skill that never leaves you, by the way, like riding a bike...

I think we may need a park off here Sally!

PS: Don't even think about typing "that's what she said". That cliche needs a two or three week time out.
"That's what she said" is not a cliche! Bite your tongue!

I wish I could paint better. Just paint a wall without any getting on the wood work or the cieling or the rug.
Me, too, Michelle. I've tried taping, and paint guards, but I still get paint where I don't want it. One time, I got a glob on my flip-flop, and tracked it all around the living room floor before I realized what I was doing. :(
I am giggling at that.I am terrible with color schemes as well. I have a rainbow of poorly painted rooms. It is still better than the plain white walls that stare out at me from our photo album. Color is better, even if it is messy.
I hope so, on the messy color being better, because that's exactly what I've got in my house. Every room downstairs is a different color, and it's kinda pretty, but pretty messy, too.Some of it is left over from when it was a rental.
I think color brings energy to a space, my bedroom is calming with its sea foam walls. I was going to change it to red but I wasn't sure i would be able to sleep.
We painted the dining room today. Looks good...a lot brighter. My wife pointed out that painting is pretty easy when you're not trying to rush it when the kids are napping.
What color did you paint your dining room?
Hallowed Hush...third one down...(There was a link here but it doesn't seem to work. Hallowed Hush is kind of a blue/green)
By the way, who gets paid to think of names like "Hallowed Hush" for a paint color?
RA: It might just be people like me who spend a buttload of money to go to school for Creative Writing and then end up naming paints and writing the rhymes for CoverGirl.My mom is avidly against colored walls. NEVER. "Then we can't sell our house and have to paint every wall white." Pfft. Chances are, someone else is going to come in and repaint them anyways, so why not just go crazy and let them take care of it?
I wish I was better at marketing things. I have friends who can make scarves and things and people, somehow, will just come up to them and ask them if they can give them $20 for it. Half the time, the stuff they're selling isn't any better than mine, but I guess I'm unapproachable or have that "MINE!" attitude when it comes to my scarves and things.
Never too late Knarik. Do it!PS: I know I owe you a note. It will come soon!
As long a your breathing its not too late Knarik.
RA, that color sounds lovely! I painted my stairwell Ionian Blue, which is a beautiful light aqua. Eventually, I want to paint the living room that color, too.And Knarik, I agree with Larry and Jim and Bun - GO FOR IT! Get a little paint set and a watercolor tablet, and start messing around for fun... and see where it takes you!
Ionian Blue...very Greek...sounds like the Adriatic...
Just in case anyone thinks Larry is insane, I erased a post from an author selling his book right before Larry's post. Larry does not have an imaginary friend named "Rodney" of whom I'm aware.
Good luck, Rodney. I mean ... uh ... Rodney? Hmmmmmm.::goes back to gazing out the window::
After floating in space that long you were bound to suffer some side effects Larry. How did you ever find your way back?
Don't worry, Larry, I know Rodney too. He even let me take his picture once...
Extraordinary, tad, my man. And that's just one of his many disguises. Looks like he had his nose in that toaster oven for a few minutes.Rodney's a trip. (And I am never alone.)

No need to be scared, Sally, that's not my kitchen so I didn't pick out that wallpaper...
Rodney likes to freak people out. It's a weakness he has.

possessed bunny, be afraid be very afraid
I don't care what you call it Run!!
I can't deal with snot/mucous/boogers.
