Oregano...or sage?

This post will be a quick-one: I am doing Nanowrimo again and I already lost two hours of writing to catch up with Sara and Levi, which is good because I haven't seen them in two weeks. But I am behind--I should have written roughly 30,000 words by now and I am only just closing in on 20,000. I hope I will actually finish on time this year.

The new story? A widow, a man with a tool belt, an old house in Vermont and a shared past...oooh! I will freely admit that I wasted my time writing literary fiction. I love love love pop fiction--love writing it, love reading it, almost love indulging in it as much as I love chocolate and shoes.

Anyway, this week's dilemma--what color should I paint my hallway? Tord and I have picked two shades we both agree on: oregano and sage, i.e. green. Both shades are nearly identical. One has a slightly grey undertone, the other feels a wee bit warmer. I have bought a test can of oregano. Will try it out this weekend. But...a third shade jumped out at me---asparagus. It was much lighter than the oregano and sage, but it could work too.

Ah well. I can't allow myself to be seduced by so many gorgeous colors. I have to focus.

Alright, that's it today. I told you it would be short.
