Sorry. I've been terrible with blogging in the past week - but I do have excuses!
1. My computer had a virus (I'm currently blogging from another) so Grey's dad is Doctoring it up
2. I've been sick
3. There has been lots of stress going on this week - sickness, covering everyone's classes during my planning period, oh yeah...did I mention that today we found out that our bank account had been hacked?
Joy.
See ya in a week or so....Happy late Valentine's Day!!

Yesterday
1. I had a woman stop me in the parking lot of CVS and ask me to make her a purse.
2. The same woman asked me if I would tutor her kids in math AFTER I had refused #1 because I was too busy
3. Apparently she didn't understand that I'm way busy
4. Grey absolutely will not drink milk from the carton if the expiration date has come and gone...even if it still smells good.
5. I opened up the fridge yesterday morning after Grey had left to see TWO cartons of milk open. I buy a new one every week on Saturday and it just so happens that we hadn't finished this week's yet. The date on the new one was Feb 5. So the question...did Grey just miss the old milk jug and open up the new one or did he purposely leave the expired guy in there and open up the new one?!

A weekend of crafts
So first, this guy officially weighs 16 big ones. Holy cow.
Don't think he's lazy. He naps during the day but come night time, he's tearing up and down the hallway in our house. He and Franky Lynn fight/play all the time. He's quite active. I just think he's huge.
Ok second, here is our table from IKEA!
It actually has storage under the table for the leafs (sp?!) - extra wooden slabs. :)
Together with the "extra wooden slabs", this guy will seat 8 but without, easily 4. We're planning on it being our kitchen table. Hopefully when we move into a more permanent place, we'll get a dining room where we can put the table that Jen gave us.
Third, All about Fabric was open this weekend down in Anderson. I took a trip this morning and came back with some cool purchases. The place was huge - they had big bolts of fabric that you had to pick up and place in your cart and then lug them around the store until you were done shopping. It was fun though. I saw my friend JP and she showed me how it worked. She was sporting a lovely purse that she had just finished making...we'll get to that in a sec. First of all, I bought material to make a table cloth and here is the finished product!
Up close
Ok - back to JP's project. Here it is: Click here!
It was absolutely beautiful. She's way talented with crafts - she made it without a pattern! Looking at it in person, I suddenly felt inspired. I decided to try my hand at it. I however (due to a lack of creativity :) ) decided to look up some free patterns online. The one that I found was the easiest one that I could find but wasn't big enough so I tried to adjust it accordingly. It claims to be a 30 minute wonder...mine was more like 2-3 hours.... :) I also really like the long straps. My sister has claimed that the messenger style bags are the way to go so I decided to give this guy a try.
JP - Grey would like to personally thank you. Not only was he able to play his video games all day since I was obsessed with my sewing machine, but he gets so excited when I get excited about things. :) So thank you!
Here's how it turned out - WITH POCKETS!!!

February
This month, yours truly turns a quarter of a century. Excited? Sure. Freaked out?
Most definitely.
The funniest thing - I always thought/told myself that I'd be married and pregnant by the time I was 25. HAH! Grey and I just talked about how we're so glad that neither one of us is wanting kids at the moment. We're perfectly happy right where we are. We'll take a 3-4-5 year long honeymoon. :)
On to other things.
1. I think (knock on wood), I'm going to have really cool kids this semester. I'm excited.
2. I shaved half my legs this morning so I could wear capri exercise pants after school....except I didn't shave far enough...yeah...ew.
3. I'm still addicted to EBAY. Luckily, I haven't run out of money yet.
4. I'm not going to be able to run the Cooper river this year. Grey and I accidently booked our flight to Boston on the same day without even thinking about it. I came very close to crying when I realized it.
5. Oh yeah. We're going to Boston for spring break! SO EXCITED!
6. I'm going fabric shopping at this really cool fabric store this weekend - thanks JP!
7. I really wish I had girl friends that lived nearby.
8. We got a new dining room table at IKEA this weekend, pics coming soon.
:) Happy Wednesday!

Jesus
My fourth block class is very familiar with the fact that Jesus and I get along. One of my girls yesterday asked, Mrs. L, why are we here?
I said, "To learn math."
She said, "No, why are we HERE here"
I said, "I can give you the Jesus answer, you want that bad boy?"
She just giggled. :)

Subway
I had to pick up dinner tonight so Subway was the decided choice.
Not having Grey there, I decided to get him a meatball sub on parmesan oregano with provolone cheese, toasted with oregano.
He came home and said that it was perfect, just the way he liked it.
Success!
I said, "ok bud, your turn. I'm not with you - what would you get me?"
He said, "ham and cheese with light mayo and banana peppers."
Um gross and a fail in every department. I told him that he wasn't allowed to ever go get me a sub.
My preferred choice: Turkey on wheat with pepper jack, spinach, tomatoes, olives, jalapeno peppers, and vinegar.
Fail. Big fail.
