Doesn’t that look like a monster in the middle of the night? I’m surprised you haven’t accidentally used your home-defense flame thrower on it already.
I’ll go with…37. Thirty-seven ties.
And, I’m also guessing those are the ones he needs to wear yet this school year. Once he wears one, it goes back into the freaky-cold closet.
Now, what’s that prize?
Hey, as long as people are looking at the upstairs, what color do you think Lauren should paint? She was talking about painting the upstairs just the other month. I think carpeting was mentioned too.
Exactly, Lauren’s mom! I was just reading all the comments before asking what color the walls were -- it is such a pretty color! Don’t change it!
We just painted our living room “practical beige” -- now I think it looks TOO practical, but I’m not gonna mention it to the husband after all his hard work!
And YES, when I said “WE just painted” I meant “the husband painted”!!
As for the paint, I’d recommend asking Cheri Schmid. She’s great at picking out paint colors. Seriously. Everytime time we’re at their house, I look at the walls and wish I had the courage for such wonderful color.

Lauren says
I almost spit our my cereal laughing at that.
Lloyd says
I don’t know what the big deal is, I only see about 4 ties there.
Deanne says
I have a good friend who is an eye doctor. Maybe we need to take you for a little visit. It won’t hurt!

Now, what’s that prize?
Peggy says
Maybe he’s missing the Christmas decorations & wanted to spruce up the railing…my guess is 44.
I hope the prize is a Miracle Bar:
805 Foot Hill Court
Bel Air, MD 21014
(I live farther north than my Baltimorean friends…so I’m alot more dry)
Deanne says
Missing the Christmas decorations? Did you guys take yours down already? I was aiming for February sometime…
Peggy says
(Mine aren’t down yet…but I assumed those over-achieving Sommerers have theirs down.)
christina says
Down, did they put any up?
christina says
I forgot to put in my guess -- 26
Lauren says
Actually, I put away the trees last night while watching American Idol. Can you believe it?
Karla says
That your Christmas tree was still up, or that you were watching American Idol?
Lauren says
The tree. I’m a big A.I. fan, y’know.

Beth says
I’m a fan of warm neutrals. For paint and carpet.
But let’s be honest, I pick colors that match our cat so I don’t have to worry about shedding so much. Heh.
So, you could go with Calico. For walls and carpet.
Peggy says
hehe… I thought you meant carpet on the walls…I know they do that there in Nebrasky. Go with shag.
Lauren's mom says
I like the colors you have now. Restful.

I’m going high with my guess of 54.

Lauren says
Final count -- 49 in the photo. Although, he just added the three ties that were on his computer desk, so now we’re up to 52.
Peggy says
SO I WIN, right? I was the closest without going over. YAY!! YIPPEE!! 2009 is starting out great!
(what’d I win?)
Kristi says
And why are they there, Lloyd?
