Here's the deal...

I like the idea of being set to private, but after some more consideration, I have decided to allow all viewers again. Here's why if you're interested in my reasoning...
  • I don't like that every page that is set to private must be logged into individually. That's a real pain.
  • Some of my readers were having difficulty creating an account and signing in to view my page.
  • I don't really post any revealing pictures of me, my family, or my students. Although, I will be considering weather or not I will post any student pictures at all.

I used to be opposed to MySpace, but have recently found out that it has some advantages to Blogspot. For one, no matter how many of your friends are set to private, you only have to log in once to view your friends pages. I could go on, but the point is, I have reset this page to public viewing... and I have a MySpace page now, too. If you are so inclined, you could go visit it. Yes, you have to have a MySpace account. If/when you go to my page, you will find that it is set to private. You have to be my "friend" to view the page. Click "Add To Friends". It will send me a message, and when I accept you, then you can view my page.

Paint the House: Exterior

Here's Todd getting his new sprayer ready to work. Todd's the official painter this time.
My job was to roll out of bed... and tape. (This has to be the first picture ever taken of me as an adult without make-up on!)
And tape, I did. Those doors took for-ever! Todd didn't like waiting, so as you can see, he went around me. Notice the gutters? We had power washed and bleached them, and they were still black with stains.
Climb up. Spray. Climb down. Move ladder. Repeat.
Tape.
We finished the whole house in just one day. Todd rocked with that spray gun. Todd got me this docking station for my MP3 player for our anniversary. It was nice to have some music to work to. Since my player is not an "I Pod" (It's a Sansa), we lovingly call it my "Pseudo Pod"
BEFORE:
AFTER: (Excuse the grill.)
Our work on this project is still not done. I still have to paint the down spouts. Todd needs to mount the new house numbers.

FREE Movie Monday & Rollei News


Today's Free Movie code is:


44KBV9


I know Rollei news is not very exciting to all readers, but here it is....
Rollei was bitten by a copperhead again last night. Yes, this makes the 3rd time in 3 years. Could be more, though. We had to rush him to the emergency vet and spent too much $$ on shots. Hopefully, this will not happen again any time soon.
Here is a before & after:
(Sorry the second one is blurry.)
