Fun Yellow

I am working on finishing my upstairs. I picked out paint for the new bathroom. Yellow. Bright Yellow, actually called daffodil yellow. I bought a sample, put it on the wall, debated, bought a gallon, put it on the wall, tried to like it, hated it! I consulted my daughter Dana who is color gifted unlike me. She told me I needed "fun yellow". I called my friend Marion and she looked at the color on line and agreed with Dana. I bought Fun Yellow and I love it!
Don, Dana and I were going to spend a morning painting. Dana was working in the closet, washing it down. Don had layed out a new sponge for her to use but she used another which gave off red stuff on the wall. Don was patient, I was not. I told her something like, "Dana, on a job this would be disaster, you have to learn to follow instructions".
I was painting fun yellow. I was really in the cutting in groove (without the blue tape even). I was ready to move my ladder, reached up for the can and basically tipped it right down the front of me! There was paint down my shirt, splashed all over the room, ladder and floor.
Dana strolled over and said "mom if this were on the job, it would be disaster"! I ate those words!

My only regret is that we didn't take a picture, it was pretty funny...later!
