Goodbye Summer, Hello Rug!

Over the course of the summer I have been one lazy bum.  I have done very little work and a whole lot of play.  Lots of visiting with friends and some nights that ended way too late, but that's what summer is for, right?  I don't regret a moment of sitting on my tush.  I have worked year round since I had my worker's permit when I was 15... it was time for a BREAK!  And it was the best summer I have had in years :).  Too much beer and too little movement resulted in a few extra pounds, but I'm sure that will be gone within the first 2 weeks back at school.  Oh, school... in just one week I will be back in the art room more than full time and beginning another year of messy fun with the munchkins.  As sad as I am for summer to be over, I really am excited to be back in the classroom. 

We had a list of things we wanted to accomplish before the school year began and most of them were checked off... all except for the office.  We did make some improvements, but it is still far from finished (and I'm sure it won't feel finished until a new iMac is sitting on the desk in November).  HOWEVER, we DID get a new rug for the living room... a BIG one! It fits the space so much better than the pitiful 7x9 we had.  I can be a floor person again with cushy carpeting under me instead of a rock hard floor.  The living room is almost totally done! Slip covers for the wingbacks are still on the list (instead of just draping large pieces of cloth over them - it doesn't look that bad, but slip covers would still be nicer).

A few more days of freedom and then back to work! Fall will be here before we know it (YAY)!
