You color my world... goal # 72!

or atleast my room, lol.

Tom and I have finally agreed somewhat on a color for the room and bath. I normally go with very deep rich tones but have been encouraged to break free from that and go with something more light and airy...spa like. (Tom is very thankful to Michael for this)

So I have picked a few shades of greens, I still need to see them in person to make sure they aren't terrible but the choices are from Valspar. Apple Slice, Afternoon Delight (it looks a little dark online), Lime Sherbert, and Limescent. The other colors will be creams and browns.

We'll get the colors this weekend and I'll paint on Sunday more than likely and move all our stuff in on Monday.

Now to figure out the rest of my spa plans.....

Getting Started

I've started my list and will be posting it later in the week. My start date is Aug 24, 2008 making my last day May 22, 2011. I'm really looking forward to this challenge as I am h0ping it will remind me to set large goals but to also remember the small things that truly make life special.

What inspired my title...

I love the movie Rent and wish I could have seen it on stage. The entire sound track was awesome but Seasons of Love made me think, just as this challenge with my goals is making me. What is really important to me...Dancing in the rain, learning something new, telling those around me just how much they mean to me..... it is a journey into my soul. To me this is much more than a list of 101 goals, it's a begining of what and who I want to become, where I want to be in life... what little pieces of me have I lost and need to find again.

Seasons of Love from the Rent soundtrack

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Moments so dear.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights
In cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.

In five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure
A year in the life?

How about love?
How about love?
How about love? Measure in love

Seasons of love. Seasons of love


Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes!
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Journeys to plan.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life
Of a woman or a man?


In truths that she learned,
Or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned,
Or the way that she died.


It's time now to sing out,
Tho' the story never ends
Let's celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends
Remember the love!
Remember the love!
Seasons of love!


Oh you got to got to
Remember the love!
You know that love is a gift from up above
Share love, give love spread love
Measure measure your life in love.

How will our moments be measured???
