It's a BLIZZARD!!!

Well this is seeming to be a common post on my blog :) Our last blizzard was about 2 weeks shy of a year agao and here it come again. The major school districts are us are closed tomorrow already, and I am waiting for the call. Not too much is going on here. We had my brother and his wife over for tacos last night and rocked out to Rock Band.

We have also been stuck on this awesome series from Discovery: Planet Earth. Last night we watched the segment on Jungles. This had to have been one of my favorites. The Birds of Paradise


has to be one of the craziest species on our planet. So amazing for this science geek to learn all about. Tomorrow we continue on with our staining project, hoping to still have the Cosby show on Saturday.

Till next time!

Lazy Sunday

This weekend has been a busy, busy weekend. Only because we have had things going on. This weekend we decided to start our staining project. Way back when, we bought the console table and mission table in natural wood finish. It was a good buy and looked great in the old apartment. This weekend we started to change the natural finish to a dark walnut finish to match the rest of our new furniture in the house. It is a task and a half, but had been fun working together to get it going.

This past week I worked a total of a whopping 2 days. We had MLK day off. I went up to Chicago on business Monday night and Tuesday and school was called off Thursday for the cold. Have to love those days where there is no school and you can still get around ok. :) Love being a teacher.

This next week we look forward to seeing a living legend: Bill Cosby. We are heading home to see him at the local Theatre. It should be a good show. Not much else is going on. Taking it slow and living life. Hope all finds you well.

Till next time.

A new toy...

Here is a link to a cool letter image finder using FLICKR images. You plug in the word you want to spell and can then customize the images. Very fun!

Happy New Year!

My resolution for 2008 is to blog more than 2007. We will start with baby steps :) I thought I would do a picture montage of the Holidays in our house. Hope you have had a wonderful holiday season. Here is to a great year to come!
