Life. In Color.

Brown. Boxes. Boxes. And, more boxes. Since I've already visited this topic, I'll spare you more box talk. But, there is enough cardboard in this house right now to make a lifetime supply of those Starbucks please-don't-burn-my-hand cup holder thingys.

Green. With envy. Not green, green. Perhaps a light sage or mint green. Because my hubby can check his email, facebook, the news, and watch the funniest and latest You Tube clips at work. On his lunch break, of course. And, I can't. We don't have internet access at our new house yet due to incompetent sales and service people at our internet provider. [insert exasperated sigh] I feel so out of touch with everything planet Earth related. Can someone please tell me if Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong are still together? Oh, and did Brangelina have their twins yet? You know, the important things in life. (So, how am I posting this, you ask? Jason is sound asleep next to me and I have heisted his Blackberry.)

Red. The color of the bulls eye adorned store that I am frequenting every. single. day. I heart Target, y'all, and if our credit card bill at the end of the month is any indication of how much, then I really, really, really heart Target. I tell you what, if Target's fiscal year ended on June 3oth, I am certain that my family single-handedly gave it the end of the year push in sales it was hoping for. We have a house full of unpacked boxes. And, I'm bringing in Target bags every day. Somethin' just seems wonky about that.

White. Egg shell white. For the first time in my life, I'm living in a house with a well. And, well (hee hee), that sulfur-y smell of rotten eggs pouring out onto my head during a shower is not entirely pleasant. However, it's better today than it was yesterday, and I'm told it will probably go away as we use the water more and more. If nothing else, I saw a sign at the local hardware store in town today that said, "Free water testing." Otherwise read: "New neighbors with the rotten egg smelling water, call us."

Blue. Bedding, that is. And, it reverses to cars and trucks and jeeps traveling down dirt roads. See those two little preschoolish boys sitting over there on my sidebar? They've moved into a room together. With unbunked bunk beds. The squeals of laughter that came from inside that door before bedtime tonight are the stuff that makes my Mommy heart leap. Literally. My big boys. Sharing a room together. I can hardly stand it.

And, with that Red, White and Blue ending to this colorful life update, I'm signing off for the last time this week to start celebrating the long holiday weekend.

Happy 4th of July, y'all!
