She is just back from Mexico where wild and vivid colors puctuate the dreamy, heavy air.

She needs a change from the under-the-tuscan-sun-starbucks-shops inspired decor/colors of the past decade.

She has this heavy, ornate coffee table in the garage just waiting for some crazy color to be slapped on it.

A QUICK VISIT TO WWW.CRAIGSLIST.COM HAS (HOPEFULLY) PRODUCED THE NEEDED REPLACEMENT GLASS FOR THIS AMAZING TABLE AT A VERY GOOD PRICE, INDEED!

She happened upon (on purpose) a little linens clearance at Kohl’s yesterday.

It is a holiday weekend and her husband can help.  ;}

THESE ARE THE UNPREDICTED ELEMENTS SHAPING UP THE FORCE OF THIS WINDSTORM…

I know these are dreadfully shadowy, but they are on my table this morning…making me happy as I ponder the possibilities.  Notice also a piece of Hunter’s artwork from the wall, my old green computer, a notebook, a planner…oh this coffee table project could ruin e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g.!

Something is definitely brewing and it could be dangerous.  Original thoughts of a painted piece of furniture and a few new throw pillows is threatening to cause an all-over-every-wall-in-the-whole-stinking-house paint job to be necessary.  There is a mile-long list on the kichen counter of things that could be done…that could also cause this house to be declared to be in a state of utter disaster if she doesn’t just calm the heck down.  The intensity of the storm will blow itself out and perhaps there will be a few nice changes over the course of the next few months.  But right at this moment?

The sound of maracas and Spanish guitar is filling her head….

Beware.

Note:  I am going to see George Clooney in The American this weekend which is perhaps what very-subconsciously gave me the title idea for this blog….hmmmm…or maybe it came from my baby girl, Stormie, the perfect one?
