Ahhhh....

Ahhhh...vacation...I love vacation. I don't know how I'd be able to do my job without the promise of a vacation every three months or so. And I really needed this vacation. The first quarter was rough, with interesting parents, really interesting kids, and no Joy. That last week of school was the worst, but because of my second "job" and not my actual job. We're working hard on this year's convention and a lot of crap happened last week that's really causing us to pause before deciding whether or not we're planning next year's as well. Some other stuff happened last week that elevated my blood pressure a bunch, but everything's calmed down now. Anyway.

We're spending this vacation doing a lot of house stuff. We (and by we I mean Lance) replaced our hideous lights upstairs with new prettier ones, put a motion detector prettier light outside, and is testing out new solar lights for the yard. We also started working on the yard and pulled out most of the plants on the side of the backyard and it already looks a lot better. We were going to make a dirt plot for me to start a vegetable garden, extend and replace the grass area, and put in a little pond for a turtle. Our yard plans got put on hold, however, as we have more pressing stuff to do. We're turning the future kid's room into the yarn/exercise room and the current yarn room into the future kid's room. Sadly, my yarn room is gonna become a yarn/exercise room but now that I'm used to the idea, I'm kinda excited. Lance has this large weight set at his mom's house but it needs to come to our house now hence our new exercise room. I'll post new renovation pictures when the time comes (I think I'm behind on those...).

Oh, and I'm posting the video of my new favorite song. I love Pink and I was excited to hear her new album's being released at the end of October. I love the first single but I'm not purchasing it because I'm waiting for the entire album to be released. Meanwhile, I've been watching/listening to it several times a day. The last week of school I listened to the song over and over and over again.
