Libertyville makes /.
This article talks about how Libertyville HS is holding kids responsible for what they say on myspace. WTF?
How dumb is that? What authority does the school have? Why do THEY get to parent these kids? And why do kids not get to say what they want?
Screw that, I would almost WANT to intentionally post things in an attempt to mess with them. In fact, lets do that. I am thinking I may set up a fake myspace account that says I am a student and make up all this crap...
sounds like fun, but I doubt I will do it.
I am gonna stop drinking pop
Based on this article I found via harper, I am no longer drinking pop.
Makes sense. I was never a big fan, and I didn't think it was healthy, but this is enough to make me stop.
D, you reading this?
New Glasses
So since we had flex spending money left to spend, I went and got new glasses. Found an office near the house (1.5 blocks) and in our insurance network... headed over, got the eyes checked and got new glasses. My eyes are fine, and my prescription hasn't changed much, which is good, especially since my last appointment was in like 2001 or something.
So then I did the whole get new frames thing... which sucks when your vision is -6 and you have astigmatism, cause that roughly means I have to sit about 6 inches from the mirror to see what the frames look like, which isn't a great way to pick frames... so I had Rebecca come over to the shop and look with me... I ended up with a slightly trendier pair of glasses than I am used to, but that is fine. I am excited. They should be here in the next week.
Insurance covered most of the glasses, so it makes me think I should get new glasses each year. That would be cool.
The other nice thing is the new ones won't be sporting the cool crack that my current ones have.
Stupid blog… or worked on the house all weekend, whatever.
I need to have more time that I focus on updating this blog...
over the weekend we worked on house stuff. We touched up some walls, put up shelves, put in a the hardwood stair nose, did yard work and some gardening. Rebecca's parents came down and helped. We got stuff done.
Laundry room... cleaned cosby's box and the washer/dryer, put down primer and then vinyl tiles. I still need to put up some more shelves, find a plumber to install a laundry sink, and I would like to put in some baseboards. Then that room would be done and I could get some more stuff put away in there.
Den... I managed to break some furniture while hanging up the screen for the projector. I also hung some more of the shelves and got the pottery put up. I need to get my mom to sew some velcro to my rung from india so I can hang that. Then hang up the elephants and clean up some more. Put in the last of the quarter round and see if that rug will work and that room will be done. I MAY want to add a small coffee table and I WOULD like a bigger screen... we'll see.
Main floor... Rebecca's folks worked on the touchup of the yellow paint. I installed that stair nose on the steps and hooked up the icemaker in the refrigerator. I also secured the dishwasher and put in that piece of trim there. We got more red paint, so we still need to touch up the red around there. We are looking at new drawer pulls for the kitchen, I think that would be a nice touch.
Upstairs... we trimmed the doors in mason's room and the bathroom, touched up some of the trim.
So we still need to finish the basement bathroom, put up the light in the basement hall way, fix the ceiling fan in the bedroom, find some artwork hanging thing for the hall VW ads, etc.
The list goes on. BUT it was a VERY productive weekend, and I am feeling very good about it all. Oh, and we cleaned and took pics of the appliances, so I need to get those listed. I am eager to get that stuff out and perhaps get a car IN. That would be nice.
