Is it me or is it actually not humid here today?! Could this be the beginning of fall?

I've realized that my summer is just coming later. Remember how all we had was rain during the weeks that we should have been able to play outside? Now we should be in sweaters but could instead play outside? Over the next two weekends I'll be in Orlando and South Padre. Yea for summer, delayed though it may be.

The Boy is now officially The Boyfriend. Did you squeal just a little right then? Me, too.

And? And! I just found out I passed my certification exam! Woohoo!

I think mine sounded more like a squeak. Happy dance for you!

So I took the poll and this is waht I got:

You are not scary

Everyone likes you. Isn't that sweet?

They obviously did not poll my students.

Um, does the Boyfriend read this blog? Does he know about it? :)

Yay for extended summer! For you, not for me. Me, I'm missing Fall in New York. Badly.

'I love New York in the Fall. It makes me want to buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.'

I know, katie lady. I miss Fall, too. I'm just trying to go with the glass half-full thing. And The Boyfriend knows about the blog but isn't yet reading it.

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine...
