I’m sort of feeling cross today.  First of all, I kind of like saying, I’m cross.  It kind of makes me feel like I should be a British school girl, with my arms crossed over my pinafore, nursing  a furrowed brow and forced to sit in a stool in the corner. (I know the girl above is not in a uniform and she’s holding a basketball, but she’s pretty cute….and she’s definitely cross).

I’m cross because:  I don’t love the upstairs bathroom vanity I just bought…I bought it so I could save money.  Does that make sense?  I know…it doesn’t. 

I’m cross because I had to split the cabinet order between my credit card and my check book because my credit card payment didn’t go though in time.  Part of the reason I’m doing this house is so I can accumulate ridiculous amounts of credit card bonus points.  Does that make sense?  I know….bonus points are one of the ways the man keeps us down – but seriously, the man bought me a Dyson and some pretty good airline tix with those points.

And, I’m cross because I’m stuck picking out exterior house colors for Houston.  This should be easy, right?  Wrong!  I’m stuck!!!

This is my pile of options:

I live in a house that’s half purple and I picked some fun candy colors (think butter mints) for the last house, but for this one, I’m thinking earthy, cozy, more conservative and restrained.  Maybe this is why I’m having a hard time zeroing in on something….I’m afraid of going boring.

So, as I rack my brain over, quite literally, shades of gray, why not just throw caution to the wind, say “screw it” and go with one of these:

It could be the gay pride house!

or this….

If you can’t tell….that’s Hello Kitty.

Or this….

Burberry Madness!

Or this….

I believe one of the restaurants I frequent on a constant basis should be up for corporate sponsorship.

Or finally…..

It could be the CAMO bungalow….who needs curb appeal when you can have total curb invisibility.  But get rid of the ferns and hose people!  They’re blowing your cover!

We’ll see what I come up with….could be kitties, could be rainbows, could be the Early Girl logo.  As I am prone to say….Stay tuned!
