Got my first good look at the paint job on the house. I hate the color. Looks nothing like the sample. SIL and I went to Longhorn Steakhouse yesterday (today is her birthday). We had an excellent meal and a good time. It's going to be in the 90s starting on Tuesday; so there will be no painting. Something to do with the type of paint mixed with extreme heat. Breakfast - PB&J sandwich Lunch - Longhorn Steakhouse- Strawberry pecan salad, Parmesan crusted chicken, mashed potatoes, Brussels sprouts, bread I put my Meals on Wheels lunch in the fridge; and I will have it today. Dessert/Snack - Chocolate Stampede (Ice cream and a decadent chocolate cake) Dinner - None What did you eat yesterday? Photo Credit: Pixabay

Yeah. We have a heat wave this weekend too. Sorry to hear the paint color is not to your liking. I guess it is what it is. I find paint rarely matches the sample, but it's usually pretty close. For dinner I had leftover pork loin roast, so I figured it was a good time to make a batch of pork fried rice, so that's what I did.

Paint always differs slightly from the color swatches but I hope you'll grow to like it enough to live with it.

Happy birthday to sis-in-law!!! Sorry about the paint color. I went to Mark’s for a chicken & cheese-stuffed baked potato for lunch, and I had grilled cheese and gazpacho for dinner. Applesauce and fiber!

That is a shame that the colour differed so much from the sample. They should have painted a spot near the door so that you could see it and approve it. Its great that you enjoyed a meal out together like that. Last night I made steak tips, mushrooms, potatoes and asparagus. The asparagus season has been a good one this year.

Sorry about the color. You can always repaint right?

I’m sorry to hear you hate the color. That’s a big disappointment. Yesterday, I had chicken salad, and pears.

Yay, I know how much you like going to restaurants. Too bad about the house.

That is insane that the color is different from the sample. Did they pain a portion outside and let it dry to check if you liked before doing the job?
