Its like comparing apples to...pears?

Basement bedroom painting has begun. Brian has taken the day off work to paint - bless his soul. I feel no peace. Fear, trepidation, anxiety - all of these accompany me today at work. I was forced to make a rushed paint decision - this is not like me. I hate being rushed to make a paint decision. If I were an artist, I would stare at a blank canvas for weeks before making any sort of mark on the wide open white space. But Brian wanted to paint TODAY. So last night in a Walmart aisle in horrible fluorescent lighting with people shopping all around me, I had to pick a paint color. Most of you know I was convinced I was going to paint the room red. I love red. I had it pictured. It would look like the shiny skin of a red delicious apple. It would be beautiful, warm, inviting, cozy. Everything a guest bedroom should be. And here's why you should never make a rushed paint decision in Walmart. I for some reason brought home "Pear Green". Two gallons of the stuff. As we speak Brian is smearing it on the wall. I have never been so nervous about a paint color. Never. I apologize to all of you who may have to sleep in the room. It could turn out to be glow-in-the-dark bright kermit green. Nightmare fuel. I'll keep you posted.
