In the Czech Republic, single women go out on Christmas Eve day and toss shoes. With their backs to the door, they throw one of their shoes over their shoulder. If the shoe lands with the heel facing the door, she’ll find herself single for another year. If the shoe lands with the toe facing the door, it means she should start making wedding plans.
Rae – you game? Do we do MY front door or the real front door? 
Today is Black Friday and please wish her safety and sanity on this day, the busiest of the retail year. We love her way too much to lose her to a deal seeking, holiday spirit forgetting, Christmas shopping lunatic.

Rachel’s Birthday Bonanza! Woo hoo – party down!
Sunday
Now… That will be one satisfying weekend if I can get all that done! Hold me accountable!
Someone may be doing a progress inspection next week! Yay for me!
Oh my! I am sooo excited! Rae Rae and I are gonna have ourselves a little down-home, old skool style sidewalk sale on Sunday! I tell ya, it’s gonna be a collection of used Ikea and Target things the likes of which have never been assembled all in one place! 
It’s going to be such a hodge-podge of everything I have kept for “just in case” and “if I need it someday” and “this was SUCH a good deal”. Even as I sit here, my mind boggles. I alone have clothes, a HUGE Pottery Barn area rug, 2 huge Billy bookcases, a VCR and tons of movies, organizing things that just don’t work for the spaces I have, a portable washing machine (yes… the washing machine – if I can find my ode I shall post it), lighting, and an insane amount of computer bits and bobs including my poor ThinkPad with the janky video card.
Haley has a ton of stuffed animals, even more clothes, a Game Boy and a number of Disney Princess 
outfits. I made her a deal a’la Clean House: I will match the proceeds of the sale of all her mayhem and foolishness up to the first $50, and every penny will be invested in her bedroom. It’ll be interesting to see just how much she wants her room to be a temple to Cinnamoroll
Rae is going to add to the mix the contents of her storage space, artwork, clothes and whatnot.
I’ll let you in on a little secret…. come about noon it’ll be a free sale! Space is what I want – money is just gravy. (But any money I make will go to my Vegas fund for Rae’s birthday!)
So, my dear sweet Boo Boo, Rae, is tackling her bathroom this fine day. The paint is peeling and quite janktastic, so there is a lot of sanding and breathing of toxic particulates involved.
She’s doing the ugly patch, sand, prime nonsense today – but is still undecided on color. She’s blessed with loverly blue tiles and even more quaint barely baby blue paint. She needs suggestions on color. She’ll repaint the vanity white, as is the trim and door color. The adjacent room is beige.
Please put your suggestions – and verbal harrassment – in the comments!
I suggested light light gray or something similar to the livingroom, with a higher sheen. Then again, orange might look lovely.
Rachel… I am so very, very proud.
Hmmm… methinks this bedroom color looks a tad familiar
