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 don’t know what the big deal is, I only see about 4 ties there.

  I have a good friend who is an eye doctor. Maybe we need to take you for a little visit. It won’t hurt!

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?

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)

    (Mine aren’t down yet…but I assumed those over-achieving Sommerers have theirs down.)

        Actually, I put away the trees last night while watching American Idol. Can you believe it?

        That your Christmas tree was still up, or that you were watching American Idol?

        The tree. I’m a big A.I. fan, y’know.

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.

  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.

  hehe… I thought you meant carpet on the walls…I know they do that there in Nebrasky. Go with shag.

I like the colors you have now. Restful.

  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”!!

I’m going high with my guess of 54.

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.

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.
