free paint!

So if anyone is reading, (hey mom!) you should head over to Valspar.com tomorrow at 10am Maine time. They are giving out 100,000 free testers (in 1,000 days i think) of paint along with a roller, tray and a $5 coupon next your next gallon of paint. I just received mine today in this cute little box and my only gripe is that the color I chose, Gossamer Sky does not look the same in the box as it did on my screen when picking it out.

If I had to do it again I would have maybe googled "best blue/grey valspar paint". I don't know what I will use my very bright green/blue on but it will be something fantastic and free! Oh and if anyone isnt going to use theirs I would appreciate trying "rising tide". This little giveaway just makes me love Lowes even more than I do.

Oh and I have a great story that must be written down because it was so crazy and no one would believe me otherwise. But that will probably be tomorrow when Bert is working overtime and I am all alone with my coffee-one of the best times ever.

coop had his first accident in the house since we got him in september. he was so embarassed he was stuck to me like glue all morning until i found the not one, not two, but three piles of poop in the living room. obviously someone wasn't feeling well this morning! and i surprised myself because my first instinct wasn't anger-in fact I am still not angry. my second instinct was to light my 2 yankee candles, smells like a christmas tree in here!

I was totally empathetic and felt so sorry for my pooch who is SO GOOD about bathrooming. does this mean I will make a good mom? haha. so for now sleeping dog at my feet, coffee in my hand and about 30 minutes to kill before work. oh, and i called a friend to come over and check on the patient and let him out at lunchtime :) this isnt a picture from today but this is a similar forlorn-poor me look i get occasionally.
