No school yesterday or today for mid winter break. I got a lot done yesterday. Calls made, the ceiling painted in the dining room.  Today I have another long list.

1. Another coat of paint on the ceiling and at least choose a color for the walls. I am having the toughest time. I have decided to just go with white for now. Not that there aren't 40 bazzilion shades of white. I may actually just close my eyes and pick one.

2. laundry.

3. Meet with college admissions officer this morning.....yup.  I am looking into going back to school this spring for Graphic design.  At the tender age of (almost 52) I finally know what I want to be when I grow up.  All kinds of changes going on.  Good ones.  Growing ones.

Stay tuned.

  6. Kathy i am so happy that you are going to scool, not that you aren't artistic enough all ready. I just want to say you do not have to grow up to do this. Your post above about love is awsome. We were so young then!! I know the content cannot be copied, but do you have a "draft" that you could send me? I would sure like to post it on my desk for the evil people to see as they snoop around. I am trying to be a less judgemental person but it is hard for me. Thanks for always brightening my day!! LAS

  18. Very cool that you're going back to school! It's something I've been thinking about too as my daughter will be leaving the nest soon.

    I find picking a wall color very hard! I've had paint samples on my family room walls for over an year now LOL! I think I finally decided...maybe!

  19. Good for you in considering going back to school. My grandmother went back to university when she was in her 50s, and my mother did as well to become a minister. I don't have any plans right now, but one never knows. Good for you in taking on the challenge.

  24. What I've learned at the ripe old age of 52 (53 on Friday) is that you're never too old to learn. You go, girl!

  25. Isn't it great to have extra time to do those things you want to get done. Painting will be great once its complete. Everything will make it feel like a new place.

    You are so lucky to know what you are going to be when you grow up...I still ask myself that questions and I'm around your age...hmmmmmm... still thinking..
    have a lovely day
