The project of the week is painting our kitchen table set black. We have a table and bench and then 2 chairs that don't go with it. Painted black, it all goes together! Yay! I will post pictures after we finish the final coat and sealer. Our friend found this stuff at Home Depot called Gripper (in the paint section). It prevents you from having to sand everything down. You put it down as a primer and then paint over it. It was amazing! I will use it on everything because I HATE sanding. Ick.

This is my student teacher's final week. I will miss having a second set of hands in my classroom, but I am ready to have my classroom back. I miss being in control of what is going on in my room. This Friday I am going to throw her a little going away party though. It'll be fun!

I am currently reading the book series that TrueBlood was created after. The books are really good and I would suggest them to anyone that has been enjoying the Twilight series or any other vampire stories that are out there. The books are similar to Twilight, but more adult oriented. They are by Charlaine Harris. Book one is Dead Until Dark, and there are 10 in the series.
