Things are looking up

I got a job!!! I'm so excited and I feel like a huge load has been lifted off my shoulders. I found out Friday. Next week I'll be getting my classroom into shape and working on things at the Media Center.

On another note, I'm fostering this cutie pie for the local pit bull rescue. She is an absolute doll. I got her today and she's fitting right in. Hopefully I can get her adopted before I fall in love with her too much.

Coupons

I'm really not into all this extreme couponing business. I don't have the patience to sit, clip and organize all of that. It's kind of a shame because my house is pretty organized and my classroom always was too but I guess having to make that big ol coupon binder just is too much for me. Plus, I don't need 700 bottles of Powerade or 200 cans of oatmeal. I don't have the place to store all of that stuff. I did however, get roped into liking RainingHotCoupons.com on Facebook by a friend. Today's deal is a free $12 voucher from cellpig.com. They have a few iPhone cases and car chargers so I decided to get a case. I have the iPhone 4 and normally keep an Otterbox on it because 1, I'm destructive and 2, I let kids play on it all the time. I have an iHome dock which of course does not work with the Otterbox on it so I needed a smaller case so I don't have to dock it naked. Even switching the cases back and forth freaks me out but heck it was free. The deal ends today so mosey on over to raininghotcoupons to check it out.

What I've been up to

Still no word about a job for next year. I had two interviews but there are so many administration changes in the elementary schools so hiring is taking longer. Gotta love Louisiana and the value they place on education.
To keep myself busy I've been working on healthier eating at home. I got Hungry Girl 300 under 300 and I'm working my way through the recipes. I've also rededicated myself to my old 6 days a week at the gym so maybe I can shed all the extra pounds I packed on last school year.
In addition to all of that, I've been working on redoing some furniture pieces I've had for awhile. I basically just sand them down a little bit then paint with sponges to make sort of an antique look. To seal it i just spray with a clear coat. The chair and stool are for my future classroom. I will be so glad to get rid of all my teacher stuff that's taking up so much space. Pardon the mess in my kitchen, I'm in the process of organizing and overhauling my entire house. I'm almost done.
