Aloha Friday - How Late Is Too Late to Call?

Aloha Fridays are brought to you by Kailani in beautiful Hawaii at An Island Life where Friday is the day to take it easy while anticipating the coming weekend. Today I'm going to link up, take it easy and ask a question:

With school back in, it's a race every morning to get everyone ready and out the door on time. For me, with back to school comes regular telephone etiquette. That is, I don't call anyone past 9:30 pm on a week night. I don't like our phone ringing after 10:00 pm because some nights, I'm getting ready for bed by then not to mention the chance of the ringing waking up our 6-year-old daughter who has to get up early for school.

How about you? How late is too late for someone to call your home just to chat?

Should I Be Flattered or Bust Out the Paint!

When we bought our home back in 2006, it had a light to medium pinky rose paint color with white trim around the windows and medium blue accents. It was a very 1980's color scheme and I knew the minute I checked out the harbour view across the street, the house had to be yellow. I wanted a charming cottage feel to it even though it was 2 1/2 stories tall. To help create that affect, my hubby came up with the idea to create a wide white band across the second story and I have to give him credit for how beautiful it turned out. We also changed all the trim back to white only.

So here's the deal. We painted our house back in 2007 and there was only one other yellow house in the neighborhood three or four blocks up the street that you couldn't see from our place. It was more of a lemon yellow so really didn't look like ours at all. For some reason, most of the other houses were either minty green or white.

Okay, since 2007, we've had three houses within eyesight of our home go to yellow with white trim. I guess the people around here like our picks because it seems like every time anyone within spitting distance decides to repaint their house, they're choosing our yellow!

So should I be flattered or bust out the paint and go for blue?!
