You all made me laugh, out loud. Even the dogs looked at me.

Tri, do your friends tease you? Do you have a problem with xtra paint cans in your house? Do you hide paint, hide the fact that you painted again? Do you fail to finish the edges before you change to a new color? Do you paint splotches right on the walls and then leave it for a few months? If you answered yes to any of the above, then you are my girl. Also, I have lived here for 5 years, that's the longest we've stayed in a house so it's time to go! I understand you.

Bleeker, there are two Ben decks. I have the other so I'll trudge back to the hardware store to have a look, thanks. Our trim is wood, I covet painted trim, makes colors pop.

In WI painting wood trim is against the law.

Zen, off to look at the site, thanks.

Synd, good luck to you too!! Remember, lights on for showings. I take all traces of dogs out but with two puppies under 2 it will be hard this time. I have so much stuff to toss. Since we want to move a distance, it helps to think that stuff is too heavy/expensive to pack and move. Do you have kids? Did they mind that you painted their rooms?

LBTC, thanks for the butterflies! The market is sluggish here but we are always pretty stable in the midwest.

Grog, sounds yummy!

Trek, I like the dolphin colors much better! Thanks for the great advice, I'll dump my beige pillows. I do have a lot of art, family paints but I can't so I paint walls. The Packers are not doing well right now against the Lions who have not won this year. I think it's very funny but my DH is not amused. Ha! The best part is now the Jet fans have to live with Brett's may or may not retire stuff for months. I was so tired of Brett leading the news every night. lol

Aggie, I have decided that you are too hot! Now I have to talk Rick into a cooler climate. He is saying that he won't touch snow again but let's be realistic.

Oak, we do have to keep light in mind here in the winter. Good point.
