I spent the last few days painting my computer room. It was the first room I painted when I moved in 13 years ago. It was time to update the paint. It was a dark blue before…cobalt blue. I selected a rust color that I think looks really good. It’s a little brighter and a more modern color. I think it looks pretty good.
I wish my dry cleaners would stop using plastic bags to cover my shirts. I feel bad when I have to throw away the plastic. I think they should use paper. Didn’t they used to?
While I have loved the red color in my kitchen since it was renovated a few years ago, I think it’s time to update the color. I think the red makes the kitchen too dark. So while the boyfriend is away with his parents on vacation, I decided to paint the kitchen. Here are the before and the after shots. What do you think of the yellow? Does it make the kitchen brighter? I think so.
The boyfriend and I are headed to Charlottesville over spring break to visit my dad and some wineries. Do you have spring break? If so, are you going anywhere? Where? Share!
I’m so disappointed in so many things. I’m disappointed with congress of course but more locally I’m disappointed with my state government. Today my governor proposed budget cuts amounting to $730 million to K-12 education. And major cuts to public health services for low-income families and people with mental disabilities. Yes, he’s a republican. Did he cut his own salary? No. He’s the fourth highest paid governor in the country. But we are #48 in the country in terms of funding medicaid at the state level. It’s embarrassing to be a Virginian right now.
On top of the cuts to education and health care, our general assembly has voted to allow Virginians to buy more than one gun in a 30 day period, allow guns in bars, allow guns on school property in cars and various other embarrassing bills. Our general assembly is retarded….and yes, in the Sarah Palin retarded way. Fuck that bitch too.
I’m not in a very good mood. I haven’t gotten a raise in two years and probably won’t get one again next year. With the proposed budget for education, I’ll have to pay more for my health care and more into the retirement system which means my take home pay next year will be less than it is this year. I can’t take many more cuts. I already refinanced my condo so that I could afford the mortgage payment. Of course that was right before they raised my condo fee. I don’t know what the math should be but I probably shouldn’t be paying 50% of my monthly pay on housing.
Ugh…enough of the bitching. Why are teachers treated with so little respect in this country? I really need to win the lottery.
