I just booked our honeymoon property! It’s oceanfront, and we get it for a whole week. Here’s the specs:
Here’s the stuff I’m trying to juggle at the moment:
I’m not complaining. It just helps to write it out sometimes. I know I can do it. Life is actually falling into place, just where I want it. Time to put my head down and plow through this like there’s no tomorrow.
Here are pictures of Becca’s wedding dress (Click on them for a larger view):
I am ashamed to call myself a man…If you recall, I had a little trouble getting the shelf put together by myself. Beck so graceously agreed to help me…and she did. A little estrogen and some anger (directed at yours truly) provided the fuel to literally beat the shelf together. If someone would have heard the rubber mallet beating the posts into submission, they would have sworn there was a torture chamber somewhere around.
In all fairness, Becca did have the rubber mallet. I was using a regular hammer. But still, it was amazing to watch.

Normally, I try to be a little more articulate when I post about the comings and goings in life in my little space. Today, though, I need to vent. I bought this wonderful industrial shelf at Lowes yesterday in an effort to get my office organized. I set forth putting it together at around 2 p.m. It’s now 11:23p.m and the shelf remains unfinished.
Why? Because the design is stupid! Yes, that’s right, stupid! Assembly requires that you "tap" galvanized steel connectors into little slits in order to make one long beam out of two shorter ones. Tapping on a galvanized connector with a hammer and then tapping the second beam onto the other side of the connector is an extremely difficult process. Because of my clumsiness and inability to hold things straight, the connectors are horribly bent. I managed to get three of the four posts connected, but the last post is mangled, I’m afraid, beyond repair! I only hope that Dad can resurrect my mess, since I need (and really like) the shelf!
I passed the Praxis Principles of Learning and Teaching test! I’m extremely happy because I was 100% sure that I had failed! I am one graduate class away from being a fully-certified, Rank II teacher. I’m so happy! For a whole month, the thought of failing that test has been at the back of my mind, which has made me somewhat grumpy. I would like to appologize to Becca and my family for having to put up with my fear of failure. I love you all!
If you know someone who is absolutly clueless about a computer and needs help with the purpose of various Windows GUI components, this PowerPoint may be just what they need. This tutorial is the most basic I have ever seen, however, many people do not know the purpose of the icons on the desktop, nor do they know the names of the buttons in a programs title bar. Finally, the tutorial will teach the reader how to create a Folder using Windows Explorer.
