I have to admit, I am really tired and after I put up this post I am going to bed. I don't have any kids tonight and I have to be at work about 7 am again. Dave is due back tomorrow night; close to midnight. Aaron will be going to pick him up tomorrow... I will probably to asleep then too.
I went to one event at the Tacoma Wastewater Treatment plant... doesn't that sound exciting. Wait, it gets better! The second one was at the Tacoma Solid Waste Center (or whatever they call it). We were never by anything "bad" but were there to give out information to the employees about education and opportunities. Many come to see us at these fairs, not for themselves, but for their spouse, their kids education, their neighbors... for anyone they have heard of that is thinking about going back to school. That's cool... they get the information.
In the evening, I went on the Mt Rainier High School were the middle school students that will be coming up to the high school next fall come with their parents to a program. We are there to show that thinking about what a student doesn't beyond high school is important. Two other community college representatives from our area were there too.
I dropped off at Kari's (which was a couple of miles from this high school) a small table and shelf with pegs that I painted black. She has only white walls so the black paint adds contrast and is popular these days. We add solid primary colors to accent it. The best way to describe the look is Mary Engelbreit's designs and decor. Check it her website out if you are not familiar with her. Kari loves the cherries too... and it is very easy to work with in decorating. I will take pictures of my project when it is totally complete. OK?
While I was at the high school event, I was talking with Cody... one of my younger outreach friends (she is the same age as Kari). We were talking about what we like to do such as going to movies. I mentioned I would like to be a member of a book club... and she mentioned to me Good Reads.com . I joined it as you would a blog... and you have a page too. So if any of you join or are a member, I would like to be added as your friend. Check it out too. I bought a book the other day that I started reading... you will have to go to the website to see (or wait til I post it here :-) And speaking of good reads, I did the quiz on Cindy's post in regards to what Austen character I would match in personality and I am an Elizabeth Bennet. That is not a surprise really. It is a fun quiz so I put it up on my page too if you would care to see which Austen lady you are compared to in character.
Have a good day. Hugs to all!

Hi Danna, I just got a new book yesterday from the Christian bookstore. I am also reading the Names of Jesus. It is a lovely spring day here today in the mid 70's. Have a nice weekend.
