Purple everywhere I look
My sister just had her birthday, and my folks decided to do her a surprise ala "While You Were Out" and those other decorating shows. We pulled everything out of her room while she was at work and painted the walls her favorite color. It was rich purple on the lower half and lavendar on the upper. We also redid the window with purple anime animation cells on the glass, covered over with a translucent panel of lilac rice-paper fabric (courtesy of my run to Jo-Ann's; they didn't have the rich purple I used for my windows but it will do). We also covered the bed with purple and lavendar bedding, including a fantastic afghan my mother found at a thrift store. She claims to have been surprised, but she hid it well, alas.
On Tuesday I left Amarna and Zowie at the train station; I miss them intensely already. In my car I crossed paths with their train as it pulled out of the station, and waved at them from the car while waiting for it to pass. Don't know if they saw me.
I did some swimming today, for the first time in awhile, largely because I finally found something I feel confortable swimming in-- a rash guard and jammers. I look like a wanna-be surfer.
