my current project....

I'm painting it a light blue. The paint chip says "subtle blue" and it's pretty accurate. More pics when I'm done. Gotta go start on the 2nd coat now.

one more pic...

we're drowning in boxes.

The house is coming together quite well. We're in desperate need of furniture, though. We're going for the "Joey and Chandler's Place when their stuff was stolen" look. All we need is a canoe, a duck, and an etch-a-sketch on the door.

I like our neighbor and her family. She and I went to Tar-jay this weekend. FUN!! She said she's glad now that she has a neighbor to hang out with. YAY! I have a friend! :-)

Sooo excited. Next weekend (not THIS weekend) we're headed to Little Rock to visit the fam. It'll be our first chance to see their house since they moved in in what, August? Everybody in the whole world has seen their house, I think, but us. Granted, it's much easier to drive from Cary than from NYC. I can't wait! It'll be a whole week away from work. WHEEEE! :-)

yeah, i'm tired of seeing that skinny heffer in her purple bra, so it's time to blog some more.

we're settling quite well into the house. one blessing in disguise i guess would be that we don't have tons of furniture because all the boxes are where furniture would likely be (breakfast nook, dining area, etc.)

i haven't met any neighbors yet, but i have been hanging out in the house... not outside. i'm looking forward to this weekend... highs in the high 70's! spring, here we come.

i just had to go to target tonight to pick up HP Goblet of Fire. good movie...better book!

work's going quite well right now, really. we're hiring for a 3rd DE because our student population is soaring. my student count hovers between 70 and 80, which 70 is the max of what a DE can competently operate. 4 of our saturday teachers have put in their notice, so we're very short on teachers for the weekends... granted, why am i telling YOU people... you don't live here!

thanks for putting up with my lower caps and such. you're a great friend!

Your Passion is Purple!

You've got a ton of passion, but you don't always wear it on your sleeve. If something truly excites you, you let your inner intensity shine through. But otherwise, your passion tends to morph into energy ... which you never lack. You're a balanced woman, knowing when to turn on the fire in your heart.

What Color is Your Passion?

We're homeowners... woo hoooo! Closing went very well. And what's the deal with everyone saying that you'll be signing for hours on end. It was only an hour and that's including the chatty-chat with the lawyer.

I met our neighbor yesterday. She is super nice! She's got 2 kiddos, and her mom "Nana" lives with them, too. They're very friendly and I'm really looking forward to being in a neighborhood. Kids all OVER that cul-de-sac. So much fun!

We bought our fridge and our washer/dryer today, too. I'm such a grownup. I can't wait until the weather warms up. My neighbor said she'd help me plant some flowers. Hurry up, spring!

Closing is less than a week. I really don't know how I'm feeling right now... maybe a little nervous, definitely excited... I wonder if it's a small fear of the unknown. What's strange is that I've only seen the house just once. I really feel like I know I'm getting a big present soon, but I don't know what it is really. It's a big surprise! :-D

We've pretty much picked out the fridge and w/d that we're going to buy. We're getting an estimate for putting in a hardwood floor sometime next week. We've looked at living room furniture too. There's a Drexel/Heritage store within the Thomasville store. Lots of nice pieces.

Anyway, my mind is rambling...
LAMY YALL!
