. . . go green 2.0 . . .

. . . last month-ish,
i was saying to my husband,
"everytime i think about repainting,
there's an eight thousand pound elephant
in the room" . . .
. . . and he said, "i can move" . . .
. . . and then i had
the best laugh i've had
in a long time . . .
. . . you can ask him . . .
. . . he was hilarious
and didn't even mean to be . . .
. . . what i was, of course, referring to were
my luscious green countertops . . .
. . . which i really did love at the time . . .
. . . fourteen years ago . . .
{hello, missionary bowlers!}
. . . well, we went ahead and painted anyway . . .
. . . but it wasn't quite right . . .
{hi, elliott!}
. . . go, green . . .
. . . go {far away} green . . .
. . . happy birthday
{when will it end?}
to me . . .
. . . from the {not}
"eight thousand pound elephant" . . .
