1. Midterms are this week and next week. Yay, it means I'm halfway done. I'm ready for the semester to be done so I can enjoy my summer break away from school. Only three more semesters to go, woohoo. I got a letter this week from the school, I was chosen to be part of an honor society due to my grade point average. You have to go to some reception in Charleston in order to accept, I'm soooo lazy and don't want to.

2. The foyer is still part way done. Primer and one coat of paint is on the walls,  no paint on the ceiling yet and not much of the woodwork is primed yet. My new light fixture is painted and ready to be installed. I would post a picture but I'm going to wait until it is finished, someone is going to cry when they see the woodwork painted..I just know it buuuuuut it isn't the first or the last time it will be painted and it is only pine not an uber fancy wood. I need to get past the guilt and just finish it already. The upstairs bathroom will be on the chopping block next..I would love to get rid of the green vanity that is up there now and install storage somewhere else for the crap that is on it, change out the light fixture (possibly with a fan light combo, I always smack my hand on the chandelier that is there now), paint the trim white (it is a reddish purple right now, previous owners), paint the walls the same color as the foyer and probably remove the light fixture that is above the green vanity.

3. My phone charger broke yesterday, I ordered a new one. I also realized my steam mop was broken too, ordered a part for that.

4. It is realllly warm today, woohoo! It was really sunny earlier too!

5. We bought an attic antennae and installed it (well it technically needs to be mounted but it is IN the attic), we also ran a line from the attic to the basement to tie into the existing cable network. We are good to go with free programming when the city finishes running fiber in the neighborhood, who doesn't love $20 internet via fiber? Our existing cable provider will be getting the axe and we will be saving money, yo. The attic antennae allows us to get all ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CW, some weather channel, me tv?, THREEEE PBS channels (booyeah, we watch a lot of PBS), and Cooltv. There might be one other one too..anyway we basically only watch the networks and PBS so this will be perfect.

6. Brent took Monday off since Makenna didn't have any school and we thought it would be nice to have a three day weekend. It was very nice. Since my birthday is next week, he will be taking that off too!

7. We are going to try out a lemon poppyseed pancake recipe I found on pinterest tonight..mmmmmm.

8. I need to get rid of more crap out of the basement, it is a work in progress. I really have too much Christmas crap and I don't even use it. I also have a few light fixtures to take to the Restore...
