The peace of this house right now is delicious. Kids are in bed, I'm here with my BIG cup of coffee and things are coming together. First few things, bills are being paid off (whoohoo), Christmas presents are starting to show up in the mail, I've figured out what I'm going to do for my parents and my correspondance course is going well.
For those that didn't know I'm in the process of taking a Braille correspondance course to continue working with my student who is legally blind. I've been frustrated at first because I'm seriously working on a brailler from 1957. No joke. I've finished my first 3 lessons and they went out for marking. I got them back in the mail this week and I seriously didn't want to open the envelope. Big chicken I know. So I took a deep breath, opened it and I got an excellent mark. Breathing a sigh of relief, because I need to have an accuracy mark of over 95% to pass the course.
On more happy news....I got my new lens!! I won a fluke auction on ebay for a 50mm f/1.7 prime pentax lens ($45 w/shipping!!!!!) and I got it yesterday. It took some monkeying around with settings but man its freaking cool. Time to get the whole family dressed and take some Christmas card pictures. Ron will love that ;) he's worse than the kids to take pictures of. You'd think by now he'd be used to a camera in his face, hee hee hee.
Anyhoo, I'm off to scrapbook with my sil because of the snow day...got to love living close to civilization. Have a great weekend!
