Resurfacing

So my husband and I were at Home Depot a little while back, in their paint section (where else?) closely examining their Ralph Lauren paint chips. The entire conversation consisting of my asking Adam "Do you like this color, or this one here, or how about this?" This was our 4th visit to Home Depot that day, to their paint department, specifically.

Being that we had been painting for 3 days straight, I was wearing my "official" paint clothes, which consists of a mix of work out clothes and pajamas, further unfashionably layered lots of old paint. That I wore back in High School. The hair is up in a scrunchy, there is taupe paint on one eyebrow and white paint on my left elbow.

Now I'm thinking Adam must live some secret, transparent invisible bubble that no one, not even he is aware of because this man is immaculate from head to toe. Not a single drop of paint to be found on him. He could very well be approached to pose for a Irish Spring commercial, right there next to the paint chips. That kind of clean.

It was sometime around the 9th taupe paint chip when I hear an older man's voice call "Hey, Adam!" and I turn around to spot a man carrying a ladder, who turns out to be a co-worker of Adam's. He shakes the mans hand and turns to me and points out "This is my wife." As I shake the man's hand, Adam announces to him "AND SHE DOESN'T ALWAYS LOOK LIKE THIS".

If there was a 5 gallon bucket of sand nearby, I may have buried my head in it. I don't know who I felt worse for: me and the utter humiliation of the situation, or Adam, my continuously supportive husband who willingly takes me into public places, taupe painted eyebrow and all.

So dear friends and fellow readers, if you've been wondering where I've been and what I've been up to all these weeks, the answer is simple: Home Depot; Busy. We are jumping hurdles and running many late night marathons trying to get our little Cottage8 (the 8th house we bid on) ready and suitable for sharing with you. I never thought it would have taken this long, but I appreciate all of you that have stuck with us through the journey.
