My cats never listen. It doesn't matter what I say or how I say it ... they just sit there and snigger at me.

Oh .... I like that idea. I bookmarked that site.
Well .... I think I've done about as much as I can possibly do today. I am going to bring some of the stuff in off of the driveway (where I've been spray painting).
I got a bunch of Sterelite boxes at Walmart that I am going to use to organize things that I want to leave on the kitchen counters. (Things like my cooking utensils and measuring spoons and cups.) The boxes are blue and gray ... which I do not like ... so I am painting them black and cream to fit in with the kitchen colors. I might have done red, but I could not find a red in Krylon that I really liked. So ... black and cream.
I got two coats of the magnetic paint on the door. It appears to be a zillion small magnetic iron filings suspended in an otherwise clear solution. You can tell when you go to clean out the brushes ... they all sort of line up together. I think that's probably why they suggest that you put it on in thin coats .... so the filings can line up while they are going on ... if the poles are not well oriented, then you will not have as strong a magnet.
Really sleepy. Good night all. I may (or may not) get in here tomorrow. It all depends on how many breaks I need from the heat ... and how much I absolutely have to do outside. They are predicting 107 degrees by Tuesday ... that's about 42 degrees for you folks on the Celsius scale.
