Insert Something Clever

TAKS is Tuesday and I am stressed and worried and ready for it to be over. I have been doing TAKS non-stop for three weeks. It is boring, I hate it, but I am still worried that I will have a few not pass. We shall see. Hopefully they pull it out and prove that they really can find how much a shirt costs with tax and know the difference between a scalene and isosceles triangle. Pray for me! At least my principal already told me I am coming back next year. Job security, I love you.

Another thing I love, reading, I miss it. Can't wait to start reading more this summer. I checked out 3 books from the library the other day. Dead Until Dawn (I think that is the name), Cross Country, and Swapping Lives. All pretty different types of books. D.U.D. is the first book of 8 and they turned it into True Blood, the HBO series. So far it is just like the show. Hopefully I can get ahead of the show before it starts back. Cross Country is the 3rd of the Cross series by James Patterson. Do you read his books? They are great reads. I found two more in my closet for me to read yesterday, happy day! Swapping Lives is by Jane Green and she has the quick girly reads that are just grand. Check her out too. I have another stack of 5 that I found lying around that I would like to read. Why are there not more hours in the day?

On a side note.... something that irks me and baffles me is when girls dress skanky at the gym. I keep thinking if you are wanting to impress people at the gym, looking like a hooker is not the way to go. Try classy?? What type of guy are you wanting to attract looking like that and what do you want them to think? What also bothers me about these few ladies is that, not only are they wearing as little clothing as possible, but they have their hair down. I am like do you not plan on actually working out? Because that is just plan nasty. Not to be mean, but I am just going to end on this tid bit of information. The three worst ladies up there also have three not very nice looking faces. Just sayin......

A happy thought... I found mirrors. After weeks of looking, we finally ordered them from Crate and Barrel. I saw them online before so we looked at them today while we are at the Art Festival in Southlake and we both liked them (that's a first) and we ordered those bad boys! Now, 6 paint sample cans later, we still need a bathroom color. Blah!

Woohoo for the mirrors!! What happened with the newest paint sample....no luck??

No luck at all... we got it on the wall and it was too blue. I think we are just going to go with plain old nuetral colors and then I will add color in with the window treatments, towels, etc. Fun times... I hate finding paint colors! How is yours looking?!

Too bad! I thought for sure that one was going to work. Well at least this way if you ever get tired of the blue, it will be easier to change out the towels and stuff rather than totally repaint again! Ours is progressing quite well, we're done priming and I feel better already!! I think we're going to get coat #1 of the base color done tomorrow....very exciting!

I'm pretty sure that if your school has to close it's considered a public emergency and you don't have to make up time. Maybe you should hope for that week!!
