It's about time. I have been waiting for Friday all week long.
For several reasons.
I want this week in school to be over and soon.
My Project 1 is due on Sunday at midnight and so is my regular assignment in my Intro to Graphic Design class. So far, I have a 95 in that class. It's mid-term, anything can happen.
But I'm still floating above the water.
I'm pretty much done with my other 2 classes for the week, I have a mid-term exam in my Management class. I'm saving that for Sunday as well.
Saturday I get to go scrap with my boss's wife. She's hosting a crop. She's also my Creative Memories consultant. Tonight, I'll pack up my stuff or some of it anyway. I have a couple things I need to work on, like Remmy's book. He might get it by Christmas. Hehe.
I have the concept down, just have to figure out how it's gotta go together and how to hide those photos and make it sturdy enough for him to play with.
Sunday will bring some relaxation and house cleaning. I have these boxes in my livingroom that I need to get unpacked and sorted and moved out to the shed.
And I have some tests to take.
And assignments to submit.
By midnight, Mountain time.
Happy Friday.
I'm off to work-hopefully my boss won't wait until the last minute to get work done.
Love,
TT

Change Has Come
Wow.
In all my years and wildest dreams, I never thought I'd live to see the DAY when there was a black President of the United States.
Awesome.
The pride I feel for America right now is unequivocal to anything I've ever felt before. The fact that America stepped up to the plate and WANTED to change is unimaginable.
I voted for Obama.
I did it for my children and my brother and my cousin and because I have a sense of pride for the black man, woman, and child. I did it for my family.
You see, I wasn't raised to be prejudice. I was raised to accept each person for who they are, not the color of their skin.
Thank you mother.
It was her doings, as dad was raised in the south and had a few prejudice bones in his body, but not always.
Change is good, and America is realizing that. It's about time.
Amen.
Happy Wednesday.

Shape and Space
This was my assignment last week. Compose a collage of black and white.
This week, we have to do 4 color palettes. Heh. In Photoshop.
I did this in 81/2 by 11. So I can put a color photo in the space beneath the words.
I was thinking ahead.
Now, go VOTE.

Happy November
Sunday we did this......in our bathroom.
I was lucky enough to go to Lowe's and find my discontinued pattern there on Saturday. And for $.68 cents a tile, well you just can't go wrong. 35 Tiles later (I bought 40), we have new bathroom flooring. I did the piece around the toilet...thanks to my thoughts of using a chipboard template and an xacto knife. I love scrapbooking when it can relate to my real world!
Saturday night found us here...at the Street Dance for the Fall Festival in Collins. This little guy was dancing like no other 3 year old I have seen before. He really got into that dance!
Of course, the girls were looking forward to it. They were in the van well before 8pm...ready to boogie. We didn't stay long, and next year we'll know to go down earlier in the day and spend some time getting to know our neighbors. Gotta love small town living. Maybe we'll have to coordinate it with the Solano's too.
Oh yeah, I won a prize over at the Kim Kesti Blog. A buttload of Halloween scrappy stuff...which I needed! Thanks Kimaro!! Now I have to go buy that book she's drawing for this week...don't go lookin' there Lynn...it's a recipe book...hehehe...you might find one in your stocking!

Friday night I had my Intro to Graphic Design Powerpoint ALMOST finished. I couldn't find it Saturday or Sunday. I had to start all over. It's saved in 2 spots now. I'll be damned if I am gonna start that over again. It's work 800+ points. Major gradage.
And how can you take a 10 question quiz with an open book and get some wrong? Ask me, I'm a PRO! Every quiz I've taken, I have done open book and got things wrong. How does that crap work? Apparently, I need some memory exercises, which is this week's topic in Success Strategies. Heh..how appropro.
BUT...I'm STILL in the 90's for my grades in all 3 classes. GO ME! It's mid-term and I have 1 exam this week...so forgive me if I don't socialize much. I REALLY want that Dean's List/Honor Roll status. I REALLY want some scholarship material gradage.
I CAN DO THIS.
Happy Monday.
Love,
TT
