Danger Will Robinson...

ME: OVERWHELMED!

YOU: Again?

ME: I know, I know.

YOU: There goes Mr. Hughes again, whining about his Master's classes. If you can't handle them, why don't you just quit the program?

ME: Well... Good Question!

YOU: Really?

ME: No, silly.


Ok, enough of this weird conversation with myself, pretending you are there. Anyways...

Tonight's class was okay. The part that is creating the "danger will robinson" tag is an over abundance of assignments that are going to start coming due. I have a 5 page paper next Thursday. Also due that day is a 3 page group paper and 30 minute presentation on an assigned book (which I have already read- YEA!). I also have a 1 page paper due in my Tuesday class. The nice apart this next week being over will be that a majority of the big assignments done. Okay, not really. I will still have two 3 page papers due AND a final in one class. YUCKY! I so need these classes to be over. I guess the upside, is in two weeks they will be over AND I will only have one more summer to work through. So that is the up side.

Tomorrow is going to be a nice day. We are heading out in the afternoon to go and purchase something my wife had been waiting for for almost 3 years. We are finally buying a storage shed. It will be a 12' x 20' building. Of course we will have to assemble it (SO not my forte, but I think I have enough friends to help me get it done.) We are also buying materials to add a 4ft deck and new stairs off the back of the house. And we are buying materials to put wood tops on all of our bench forms. This will KILL out savings account, but we have waited for so long that it is time.

We had an amazing rain storm today. Lightning and rain galore. Of course I watered my lawn this morning, so that was the magnet for the clouds. But it has sure cooled off the evening air. I guess I better go. I have a 1 page reflection paper from tonight's class. Forgot about that!

Well, take care. I will give you an update of our shopping experience and how that turns out. I hope to be reporting good news.

Later...

I DID IT!

Everyone- I Did IT!
I actually did a home improvement project. My father was there, but I actually did the work. I replaced the valve inside the toilet! As of now, it still hasn't dripped or leaked. Now, I know for those of you who are die hard home improvement guru's, this might seem minor, even laughable! But, those who know me, will rejoice in my small step toward independence! I wish I had pictures (okay, not really!)
Go ME!
