This week I’ll be a busy girl, as I’m working on a job with my new designer friend for 3 days, so I’m very excited about that. I think it’s going to be a fun project. And I have a light blue guestbath that I’m going to repaint this week with a color called Wedgewood Gray. It’s been 2 shades of blue already and I’m still not happy with it, so I’m going for #3. Wish me luck! I like to do these things while my hubby is out of town so I won’t have to hear the question “Why are you painting that for the 3rd time?” Understand??
I’m planning to head back to Florida next week too, so hopefully Kim and I will have more adventures to share.
Don’t miss the post below on Changing your Blog Background. I had a lot of people ask about it, so I decided to do a post just on that!

Don't Miss a Post, join my list!
I’m a salad snob, too. I don’t own a spinner, but I think it would be easier than my method of patting washed lettuce with a paper towel:) My husband like iceberg. I’m not sure why. I’m trying to come up with ways to grow my romaine though the summer here in AL. I saw a bag of chopped romaine the other day for $4.00!
Before my wonderful husband retired from the military, I would plan all my projects for the times when he was out of town. His favorite phrase: “Just pick a color and paint the darn wall already!”
Good luck with the paint. Can’t wait to see the pix!
I have never heard of a lettuce spinner! I must live under a rock I guess?!?!?! LOL..Can’t wait to see your bathroom sporting it’s new color :o)

Hi Rhoda, your salad looks delicious. I agree that fresh lettuce taste best and keeps longer. Also, thanks for the information on background changes. I really want to play with that. Can’t wait to see your new paint color, hope you post. Deb
Rhoda,
Yes, I’m a fresh lettuce consumer…I like Romaine with a little spinach mixed in…..Raspberry vinegrette.
I have a spinner and it really works well…..Betty
I am definitely a salad girl…..plain…with chicken….with sliced egg…..with lentils…..you name it and I probably would eat it on a salad! I love Ken’s Vidalia Onion dressing but my daughter makes a sour cream, lemon, and honey dressing that I absolutely adore! Might just have to get one of those spinners.

I used to have one of those Spinners!forgot all about it.. Good Luck painting and working with your friend.
Rhoda, I’m a bit of a lettuce snob, too, so I enjoyed this post. I also like to mix some spinach in with mine, to make it a “superfood”.
I had to laugh about the painting while DH is out of town…I’ve done that 3 or 4 times, too, for the very same reason. 🙂 Sometimes, they don’t even notice…LOL…
I love, love, love my salad spinner. I buy fresh romaine, wash and spin and then usually add some of the bagged Spring Mix. I love a good salad made with these, craisins, sunflower seeds, feta cheese, walnuts, mandarin oranges and Ken’s Greek dressing. Oh My! I add shrimp or chicken sometimes too.
Hugs!

I may be considered a salad snob too. My favorite salad spinner is by Tupperware it seems to dry lettuce the best and for a super fresh salad wash lettuces and soak in ice water about five minutes and then spin. I have done this for years, it’s a little trick I learned in the restaurant business…Blessings
