Quote of the Day

Inspired by one of my favorite blogs EavesdropDC, I am instituting a new topic that hopefully will fulfill our mission of giving some insight into our lives as well as making you laugh your a%* off.

Today's quote is from Chris: "Honey, you know I am not good with colors."

We ordered new bed sheets and I let Chris pick out the color. Surprisingly he chose the color willow, which he thought was gray. I think most others would guess that it resembles sea foam, sage or for the lay folk, light green. He was surprised at the color of the sheets when they arrived today and I asked him what he expected and he said gray. I then asked the question, what would you expect if it was called steel and he said rust or brown. An exasperated "what?" followed and then our quote of the day "Honey, you know I am not good with colors."

I must also tell one of my favorite wedding stories. This took place at our first florist appointment in Pensacola. I will admit it was at 9am, so a bit early to be someplace when you are "on vacation." It's been about a half hour into the appointment and I've been describing the colors and flowers I like. The official wedding colors were wine, blush and gold, but sometimes the word "berry" was used as a substitute for wine. So, again, a half hour into the appointment after much discussion between the florist and me, Chris wakes up and says "When you say berry, what do you mean? Blueberry, strawberry, raspberry?" Next comes me putting my hands in my face and shaking my head. I think he might have figured out color berry it is now.

I hope you like the new topic. It should be funny.
