How I did it: took the Praxis and passed (with a better score than I thought I would have gotten). It had been about 20 years since I'd taken a standardized test and that was the most intimidating part for me. Read how I did it…
Much progress has been made on this goal. Since our fridge was dying a slow and ugly death, we decided that we really needed to get a new fridge. New fridge means that we need to rip out the cabinets and ripping out the cabinets means that I need to paint the wall, might as well replace the floor while we are at it.
The fridge comes tomorrow, here is one of the before pix.
It helps that I finally got going on my ravelry account. How awesome to add all my needles, yarn stash and projects and have everything nice and tidy in one online place. I still need to finish entering my stash and take the pictures and get them linked by so far I have more progress than I have in the past.
