Congrats Mike

So Mike found a job already, his first day was today and I guess they are starting him off pretty slow. It is a student internship job with the DMV and doesn't pay much but will be good experience for him. He even got to pick his own hours, and he'll be working Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays for a total of 20 hours per week. Hopefully he'll finish off this semester well, his teachers are insane, I'm glad I'm not in his place right now. He said its the hardest semester he's ever had, even without working for the past couple of months.

As for my job...........well, when we are allowed to talk about it I'll let you know. We don't really even know exactly what is going on yet, and what we do know we aren't sopposed to talk about. All I know is that it is stressing me out big time, and having my thesis hanging over my shoulders isn't helping any either. I have been able to make some progress though.

Painting the kitchen

Spring Break Update
I have spent many days over the last week and a half cleaning and painting the kitchen. I am almost done. I wanted to do the floor in the kitchen as well as the bathroom walls and floor, but it looks like I'll just be finnishing painting the kitchen. Maybe I'll do the floors during summer break. I did order a new vanity from Lowes for the bathroom. It will look really nice when it finally gets installed. I can't wait for this house to look nicer. I have also been working on writing Chapter 1 of my thesis. I thought I had the rough draft done, and when Mike was reading it, I realized that what I had written for Chapter 1 really needed to go into Chapter 2, so I really haven't gotten any of Chapter 1 written. That was my goal for my two weeks off for spring break, to have Chapter 1 finished and email to my advisor. I'm planning on tackling it today.

The sun has come out!!!
After a crazy day on Easter of hail, wind, rain, and sun, the sun has finally decided to join us this week, or so the weather report says. Yesterday was nice and sunny, in the upper 60's, today is sopposed to be in the upper 70's. I'm loving it. Yesterday I put the chair cushin on the gound outside and layed down in the sunshine. Life is good!

Washing all the wallls and doors, boy were they dirty.

Using the primer around the edges

Making some progress

Tara tried to help paint too. 

Rain, Rain, Go Away!!!

I am so sick of all this rain!!!!!!!!!!
I love the sun, the warmth on my skin, and I haven't been able to enjoy the warm sunshine in weeks. I can barely get to my gardening without getting soaked. It makes me so irritable.

On to better news......
I've started working on painting the kitchen. Next will be the kitchen floor and the bathroom walls and floor. I'm even going to buy a new sink vanity since ours is horrid. I wanted to get it all done over spring break but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. The primer in the kitchen is drying, and in about 30 more min I can start the actual painting. I'll upload a pic when I have it finnished.
