Up, Down and All Around

Mixing It Up!

For the first time ever, I visited a True Value branch this afternoon because my friend S wanted to buy a can of paint.

Haha! That statement sounds so prosaic! Who goes to buy a can of paint at a hardware store, anyway?!? Makes me want to laugh just saying it.

Anyway, I was a bit skeptical at first, because there was only a small section with paint cans, and they were showing us this super thick stack of swatches that was a veritable rainbow of colors.

So I was blown away when I learned that they mix the paint up on demand once you've selected it! Want pale yellow? Just get a can of white paint, add a squirt of intense yellow, shake it up, and voila! Pale yellow paint.

It's events like this that make me feel so out of touch with the real world. haha!
