Hey Cindy! It was great seeing you at my blog after all this time. :) Thanks for stopping by! The name of the blue paint I used in our dining room is 'Raindrop' from Sherwin Williams. I love it! Always feels so cheerful. Thanks for asking, and again, thanks for dropping by and leaving your nice thoughts. Blessings, Debra

Oh my goodness, I spewed my lemon water. I've wanted to write about something like this but didn't have the guts! LOVE it!!!!

And if we could come up with an idea to truly get rid of it forever, we'd be very very rich!

This is hilarious! I never thought I would read "codpiece" on your blog...but the pigs are flying! Excellent post, C!

Funniest thing is that this came right after your "Blog Mission Statement" post - I'm certainly entertained!
