How "normal" are you?

Here's a funny little quiz. Apparently, I'm only half normal.

http://www.blogthings.com/whatsnormalaboutyouandwhatsnotquiz/

You Are Fairly Normal
You scored 50% normal on this quiz

Like most people you are normal in some ways...
But you aren't a completely normal person. You're a little weird too!

Why You Are Normal:

If you had to, you rather live without music and still have laughter

You think glasses can make someone more attractive

You eat the frosting first

You'd rather be screwed over than screw someone else over

You prefer a good meal to a good nap


Why You Aren't Normal:

You'd rather have cockroaches than rats in your home

When you're in a car, you prefer to be the passenger

You prefer your family to your friends

You would rather be a movie star than an astronaut

You are no longer with your first love

Sunday Projects

I LOVE teaching. Grading papers? Not so much. :( ewww.
Journals for my book club friends. Found these at Michaels (only a $1 each) and then stuck some patterned paper inside the pens to sort of coordinate. Have to make little tags and invitations to the discussion today. THAT will be my reward for finishing the stack of papers.

Saturday Projects

Before-crazy planter with various yard items for decoration...
After-crazy planter, spraypainted black, spanish moss and flowers.
Kitchen with the backsplash all grouted (whew! that was harder than I thought it would be!) and the non-bachelor decorations. I ordered the huge B (24", unfinished) from an online company and spraypainted it black. The pictures are just cheapie mattes and frames from Michaels, threw in a few words and printed paper and called them done. The scientist doesn't like it very much, but we've agreed to live with it.

Crafty little things...




A very simple shadowbox with vacation and wedding pics. The scientist isn't a big fan of SUPER crafy, so I'm doing things up pretty simply. Valentine decoration for the fridge. Just fun foam, HS letters, some leftover embellishments from other things. Still LOVE those sparkly buckles!

Kitchen: After




My tile. I love it so much, and it was totally fun to do. The chochkes on top of the cupboards will be gone as soon as I find somewhere else for them!
They are the remnants of "bachelor house." :)
Oh, yeah. As soon as the new microwave is installed the white vent hood will be gone! I have grout left to do on the tile. Maybe I won't think it's so fun after that?

Scrapbooking. What's "funner" than that?!





A few pages I did at Friday night's crop. My apologies for the craptastic photos--better ones next time. I included a detail photo from my favorite page--the wedding one. Love using '&' on my pages and cards.
Look! There's no black and white on the "girlfriends" page, you guys. ;)
