last weekend in Ohio. We visited my Aunt Jackie and Uncle Emmette, as well as Neal, Michelle, and Hazel. Hazel is getting so big - 14 months already?!
After a great, but short, visit we headed 4 hours north to Cleveland to see Next to Normal s
tarring Alice Ripley. Much to our disappointment Alice called in sick for that performance. However her understudy Pearl was amazing!!!! We sat front row - center! It was one of my favorite shows I have seen in a while. I am completely obsessed and I love it!
I also changed my hair color last week - I'm now a blonde again. At least I am getting closer to blonde. It's more golden than blonde.
This week has been another week for projects. I decided to finally paint the kitchen - a project that has been running though my head for 2 years but never officially decided on. On an impulse I finally chose my colors and began painting on Wednesday at 8:30am. Last night I quit painting at 9pm. It was a long day but a good one. I began again this morning at 9am and finished around 3:00pm. I still have some touch up to do behind our fridge. But all in all the project is done.
We also bought a new hutch - something we have been looking at for a while. It is absolutely beautiful! :) It's amazing how much one piece of furniture can add to a room.
Tomorrow's plan has been altered a bit. I was enrolled in the Principalship class at EIU every Thursday night for the next 6 weeks. I decided to withdraw from my class because I am already taking a difficult and demanding curriculum class. Along with my other projects at the house I decided to do something good for myself.... to learn how to destress and relax. It also saves me money since I will be taking it in the fall in Decatur instead of at EIU. It eliminates on campus costs, gas money to drive there, and parking fees. I decided to play it smart instead of trying to cram in as much as I can in a summer. I cram in a lot during the school year - so I need my summer to be somewhat relaxing. (but productive) :) Sooo....
Tomorrow's project is to head to IKEA and Woodfield for some supplies for my office project. I am meeting Carrie for lunch and shopping so we can spend some quality time together. I am very excited and hope I can sleep tonight. I love going to Schaumburg! I will blog about my trip on Friday!
