How I did it
How to get my teaching certificate
It took me
3 years
It made me
relieved

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…

finish working on the house (read all 6 entries…)
YES!

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.
