Numbers...Not Colors

The best two weeks have reaffirmed the fact that I have a love for numbers, and not necessarily colors. As a matter of fact, I realized that I am color illiterate. I generally like a challenge, but trying to choose colors for this house is not a fun challenge. Come to think of it, maybe it it were COLOR by NUMBER I'd be good at it. No decisions, just follow the recipe. I like a structured set of steps. Paint, and interior decorating mumbo jumbo do NOT assimilate well with my mindset. However, I do think that I am learning. Slowly.

What a nice change this weekend. My bag didn't need to get packed and it was a weekend away from decisions (for the most part). I've seen Altona a lot the past couple of months, and a weekend away was a nice change. The nice weather allowed for some relaxing walks. The malls were graced with my presence and my kitchen got some attention after being a long stretch of being neglected.

I cooked some BBQ chicken Sandwiches on Friday night. It was quite tasty. I love new concoctions. I'm back on a smoothie kick. Consumed a couple of booster juices on the weekend and made myself a few homemade smoothies. It's the warmer weather that makes them that much better! I should try a new recipe every week.

I think it's about time to go stare at more paint colors and become utterly confused and frustrated. All while still holding on to the tiny hope that, perhaps with the click of a mouse, or out of nowhere the perfect scheme will emerge. Fingers crossed.
