Alright, it was SUPPOSED to be a dark terra-cotta sort of color that would blend well with the wallpaper in the kitchen, the paneling on one wall, and the lighter terra-cotta color on the stairs. It is, instead, a rather definite UT Longhorn burnt orange. However, after two glasses of Fetzer pinot noir (see, I CAN get wine into this tonight!) I'm not sure that I dislike it. If nothing else, it goes with the Hallowe'en theme of the month. I'll have to see it in the daylight tomorrow to make a final consideration.
Today was a busy day with errands, one movie ("Red" -- really good, highly recommend), and, since the movie ended at 7 p.m., a rather hurried Saturday night dinner: macaroni & cheese; chicken breasts coated with seasoned bread crumbs, sauteed in olive oil and finished in a hot oven for 10 minutes; and sauteed mushrooms.
Jennie's day started extra early. She will be 17 next week. Her friends "kidnapped" her and a couple of other kids whose birthdays are around this time, at 5:30 a.m. and took them to IHOP for a gala breakfast. Jennie's gracious response consisted of throwing the covers over her head and wailing: "I hate you -- go die!" when awakened at 5:30 a.m., but pancakes revived her. Her daddy bought her a proper stereo for her POS car (first cars are always a Piece of Shit), and we did a little girl shopping.
All in all, a very productive and delightful day!
