I am obsessed with paint colors.

I have spent the majority of my day (during breaks, that is) salivating over Glidden and Behr's selection of colors. Yes, you read right. Salivating.
Let me start at the beginning. I'm going to paint/antique a tv cabinet next time I go home and my mother asked me what color I was thinking about. I decided to look at Glidden and Behr--just to get an idea. I ended up having this conversation with Mama:
(after a series of other e-mails)
Me: I want it to be pretty. What color do you think?
Mama: I love the turquoise; but olive green, red, etc. would be pretty too....you have to decide what your living room will be....or bedroom or extra bedroom, or office???? wow, decisions.......we'll just fix it and you can use it somewhere.....right?
Me: Right....... (few other comments on paint)......
(this is where it gets good)
Me: If you go to Glidden.com and click color, then color palate and click on the blues I like Peacock Blue and Carribbean Sea. I would paint my walls that color. Greens I like Truly Olive. Reds I like Red Delicious and Cranberry Zing....
Still Me, not waiting on a response from Mama: I am absolutely head over heels in love with peacock blue. and red delicious. and mustard seed. but mainly peacock blue.
Mama: That will be pretty.
Me : I think we should do it peacock blue. that would be pretty in an olive, red or gingerbread room.
Me, yet again: OMG. Go to Behr.com; explore color; explore Behr virtual color center (I promise I'm doing this as I work) and look at their blue section. Look at the saturated blues. I am loving beach towel and blue luxury and tropical waters and peacock feathers. SWOOOOOOOOOON. I just like them all. I have already told Tom that we had to go to Home Depot some time this weekend and he got excited.
** Side note-- Don't judge me for planning a trip to Home Depot this weekend despite the fact that it is only 5 miles from my house. I promise I'm 22 not 82.
Mama: I like those better than Glidden.
**Another side note, then I'll stop it with the side notes-- All she is doing is adding fuel to the fire, see? See where I get it? Ahem. Not that it's a bad thing.
Me: I am drooling over them. You need to look through the reds, greens, yellows, etc. DROOL. They are so rich and jewel tone-y that I could just bite them.
See that? That is a problem. Loving a color so much you want to bite it? A sickness.
