Instead I painted part of the living room. First I took down some shelving and spackled all the holes. FYI they sell a newfangled spackle that is pretty much instantly dry and ready for painting assuming you're just covering up little nail holes. Perfect for impatient types like myself. I had to lighten the custom shade I bought pre-mixed at my local hardware store for $4.99, but it came out exactly how I pictured it. I guess you'd call it a light purple. It's one of my favorite colors. Very forgiving dirt-wise and so befitting a Duchess. I had more than enough paint for two coats. Next I have to pry the mirrors off that I attached to the only unpainted wall. That wall will be a light shade of pink. Trust me, I know what I'm doing.
I also took Jet out to the park and brushed him for 1/2 hour. You would not believe how much hair I pulled off him. I could have done more but he started to lose patience. I even lifted up his dog collar and brushed the hair around his neck. He must have liked it. He made the same noise I make when some guy sticks his tongue up my butt.
While I was at the hardware store I bought a large planter pot. One of the plants in my kitchen is thriving and I thought it would benefit from a new home. I also relocated it to another room. I'll have to keep an eye on it. One of the best ways to kill a plant is to give it a new home it doesn't enjoy.
I also spent the morning customizing my PC. Here's a couple of free fun programs, particularly if you have MAC envy:
Stardock: ObjectDock is a nifty download. You can duplicate the MAC dock and customize it accordingly. You can even replace your start bar entirely if you wish. Plus, it's cool.
Style XP is a great download. You can download and install free XP themes. It will default download and install the MAC Panther theme. Brushed metal is sexy. Plus, I got that little blue apple down in the corner instead of the start button. And I didn't have to spend $1,500.00.
There are lots more ways you can make your PC more MAC-like. I like to trick out my desktop and settings periodically to keep from getting bored. Try a Google search and see what pops up.
