Gold Star for D

I know I do a lot of complaining about D on here, so I would like to take a moment to give him some compliments.

We were busy for two weeks (right after Christmas) redecorating our kitchen. (By the way, wallpaper should be considered a sin!) Anyhow, in the process, our house became this huge mess of chaos and fast food wrappers (because we didn't want to eat meals garnished with grout and drywall dust). Also, we neglected the over the top Christmas lights and decorations that we put outside (we were lit up like Vegas, baby). So we looked like a bunch of hillbillies with holiday decor STILL up. Being new in the neighborhood it probably caused a great deal of complaining by the neighbor's. We were already pushing it this season with the neighbor's, being the only people on the cul-de-sac to go bold with multi-colored lights.

Anyhow, all of this accumulated and I was looking toward a drab weekend of endless chores, but, I came home on Wednesday to find that my wonderful husband, cleaned the house, took down the Christmas lights, and was cooking dinner for me! What a lucky girl I am.

Awwwww...how cute is that...he definitly does get an A+ for that one. But Amber..colored lights outside...really...im so disappointed in you. What do you think Martha would say if she heard that...She might even revoke your evoking her spirit privildges. Were they multi-colored or singular colored? If it was something like all red then that can be tasteful, with the exception of all blue because thats just tacky...Im sorry I feel I must give my strong and often harsh design opinions out, even if I am in Thailand.
