they say you shouldn't paint bedroom walls red because red's not a relaxing colour, but maybe we don't want to relax in bed, didja think of that? heh.

the restroom at chick-fil-a has a shelf beside the sink. that is just the type of little thing that is so helpful.

so, did i mention we're repainting the house? yeah, well this adventure involves moving all our belongings from room to room, staying one step ahead of the painters. as we were unpacking mini-me's room some things i liked, i decided to keep for myself. well, that's just how it works, isn't it now? one thing is a nike backpack with a padded insert where i can carry my netbook. helpful! the front pocket of the backpack has only one zipper pull. you know how if you have two zippers you can pull them to the top and then open the pocket without opening the bottom of the pocket -- well, when there's only one pull, you have to bring it to the bottom each time, and that means when you open the pocket stuff like keys and change can fall out. not helpful! there is a cute little pocket at the top for a CD player (a what?) and that pocket could hold keys and change. helpful! when i opened that pocket to get the lay of the land, i discovered it was crammed - i mean KEY-RAMMED - full of pop-tart wrappers. not helpful, but hilarious! pop-tart wrappers. sheesh.

i could go for some pop-tarts right about now.
