Well it has been a long time and so little has happened. I finished the two classes I was taking and now face the last class of my MBA career. I have looked at the syllabus and it does not look promising for finishing up with an easy A. Just once I would like an easy A.
There has been a request that I start renovating another part of my house for the purpose of writing blogs about the process. I am sorry to say Mr. Toad does not look up to tackling another one of my projects just yet. As much as I would love to tear out the closet in my bedroom and rebuild it, I also love my marriage and fear that Mr. Toad will hire a divorce lawyer if he comes home to another demolition project. So alas there will be no more drywall but I have good news. I am allowed to paint the living room and dining room. Granted not as much fun as taking walls apart but it is still something. I just have to pick the color. Do you think that purple is a good dining room color? I was thinking something so light that at first one might not notice the color. Then I still need a trim color. Perhaps an antique white? I have already been informed that pink and purple stripes are not an option. Mr. Toad just likes to take all the fun out of renovating.
Given that I cannot tear down anymore walls perhaps my new topic might be Toad finds a new job. I have sent the resume out for fixing up. I plan on buying new interview suits (The old ones don’t fit. The gym is my friend.) I shall also get my nails done for the first time since my wedding. That will leave me with just one tiny detail left. Actually finding a job. I have had one suggestion already of being the local Swiss Miss but I feel that perhaps I should get something that requires more work then wearing a little dress and putting my hair in pigtails. I am willing to change my mind on this if the pay is good of course.
Good news! We received our yearly bonus yesterday. I am going to get a new bike. Mr. Toad and I like to go riding and my current bike is very sad so I am getting a new one. I am not sure of what I will pick yet but I was thinking about going to the store and staring at the bikes after work today until I make a decision. Problem with this way of picking a bike I tend to pick out bikes with pretty colors. Apparently this is not the way to pick a new bike for serious riding.
