First, Holy Freak Rain, Batman!
I mean… Toronto.
That is all.

I’m thinking a painting project is eleventy hundred trips to the Home Depots and a couple of hours with a paint brush. Okay, more than that. It was three coats and a roller was involved. High stakes.
I spent not a few minutes this morning with the world’s tiniest brush (to go with the world’s littlest powder room) cleaning the light switch. Home Depot Guy called my light switch old-fashioned because it’s a toggle switch instead of a rocker switch. I was looking for a replacement plate that would cover a duplex outlet and two toggle switches.
Dear Home Depot Guy — They are still working after this many years. I can’t say the same for the switch in the kitchen that we updated to a rocker last year. Just sayin’.
They had one plate and one plate only to offer me.
It was white.
Do you know how many shades of white there are?
Un-huh. See yesterday’s post.
Mostly, Home Depot Guy and I are like the hive mind. We see eye to eye. We’re Borg, baby. Just not yesterday. Yesterday, we were hot dog relish and marshmallows.
Here be Hump Day.
Let’s blow right through it just like rain.

Shades of white? Too numerous to count… or even fathom. I’m going out on a limb here and guessing the switch plate didn’t match. I told you it was Hell!

Ha! And you would be right, River. It’s a cool white. Not so much with the warm white. It’s okay. I’ll use it as a placeholder until I find what I really want. It looks better than the ugly box of wires. 😉

Warm white, cool white….. remember when you were supposed to dress in the proper shades of color? I never did figure out what my palette was. Maybe I should have gone to Sherwin Williams and asked.

You might get a more definitive answer at Sherwin Williams. I never figure out anything fashion related. Truth! And with global warming, I’m wearing white after Labor Day with confidence. 😉

At the rate we’re going, we’ll be wearing white all year long. And oh… winter white. Another shade.

I am very familiar with shades of white and am feeling your pain regarding The Wrong White. I’ve spent a decade getting rid of The Wrong White in this house. My condolences on this predicament.

I see The Wrong White is resonating with peeps. Maybe we can get that trending. LOL
