Time for another “random facts” about me post. Only this time, I’ll impose a rule on myself: these five facts have to arise out of something that has been part of my life this week. Here goes:
1) I love looking at paint chips. The boys (my collective term for any combination of the men in my house–this time it was Michael and Zach) brought home paint chips so we could choose a color for Zach’s room, which will be painted with the help of Uncle Dave and Aunt Sherry next weekend. (He has settled on a color called “Belize”–it’s a blue green that conjures up ocean and sky. I picked “Fun Yellow” for the upstairs hall–it’s a clean shade just a bit lighter than straight primary color yellow.) I just love the looks of those variations of colors all collected together. The only sad thing is that, generally, no matter how many chips you bring home, you only get to choose and use one or two or three or not-many-more-than-that colors at a time.
2) My friend Kris and I work together well because we complement each other in our strengths and weaknesses. For years, we team taught toddler Sunday school. It was great because I LOVE to tell the stories and she LOVES to prepare and lead the crafts and other story-related activities (I don’t). I found out this week that it was the same way in our planning for the bridal shower we’re hosting–that’s why she’s coordinating and purchasing all the tableware, and I’m doing table decorations and being the “voice” at the shower when it comes to hostessing.
3) I love Cadbury Mini Easter Eggs–the thin crisp shell kind (like M&M’s) with dark chocolate in them. The Easter Bunny brought me some.
4) I don’t mind if people cook in my kitchen, but I expect them to clean up after themselves.
5) I don’t think an Easter service is complete without rejoicing brass–ours was complete. Thanks, Musicians and Service Planners!
