Today, I walked into a near empty office. I opened my door slowly, bracing for what the paint job would look like. It was beautiful. Aleyda and I decided on a lighter shade of yellow for the office, and I went to Home Depot and picked a shade called Moonlit Yellow. It was exactly how I imagined. Not too many people would automatically pick yellow for the office, but I think it goes so well.

I locked the door, and I did a dance in my empty office to commemorate the occasion.  Don’t ask me why, but when I am feeling momentous, The Sound of Music always comes to mind.  I imagined myself as Julie Andrews, surrounded by Moonlit Yellow daffodils, on a hilltop singing, “The hills are alive….with the Sound of Music!”  It came complete with the twirl, if you are wondering.

I walked over to the two exam rooms and looked out the windows. Our office faces north so I could see the traffic flowing on 23rd St. and the Flatiron Building adjacent to me. I opened my own office door and the color Shrimp Toast greeted me. Trust me when I say that I’m not a girly girl, but I’ve always wanted a salmon pink room since I was a child. Now I have it!
