My Handy Man

Okay, so all of you who know James know that he is (or should I say, has not been) the handiest guy in the world. But with a little nudging from his darling wife, he has become quite handy. This weekend, I convinced him to build me a new storage unit for my craft room. I have converted my stamps to a new mounting system that allows me to store them in c.d. cases. It's great, but I needed a place to put all of those c.d. cases, sixty-eight (68) of them to be exact. Are you ready to see what my wonderfully handy man built for me?
Isn't it wonderful? It was designed to allow for growth. Currently, two of the five shelves designed for c.d. cases are filled with stamps. I can shift the other stuff around as my collection grows. I have a whole new storage unit on my list for my birthday for the other side of my room. It will hold all of my paper, dies, punches and such. I love this stuff.

And now for a report on school. I am doing well in my anatomy class. I got the result of my bone exam today. I got a 39 out of a total of 40. I got a couple of left bones confused for right ones. Luckily, the right/left portion was only worth a half a point and I was able to score very high despite my little bit of confusion. I also had a quiz today that I did very well on. I am definately proud of how I am doing so far.

As for the nutrition class, I am finding out that I do much better when I actually have to go to class. Because it is an online format with a once a month meeting, I am having a hard time motivatihg myself to do the reading and get the work done. I have a couple weeks before I have to turn it in and I still have a lot to do. It's time to get my nose to the grindstone. And for the future, I think I will opt for "traditional" classes.

Tomorrow are the California primary elections. I lost my absentee ballot (I think I accidently threw it away), so I am going to have to go to the polling place to cast my vote. I just can't not vote. It goes against everything I believe. I have to participate, that way I can complain when I don't like the way it is going. I think I have decided to vote for Mitt Romney. If you disagree with that decision, just remember, it could be worse! I could be voting for Hillary! Okay, it would have to be a cold day in July before I would do that, but you get the point.

Hi Carrissa, I love your creative projects and your handy man did a great job on your storage cabinet. I did watch your video of your run down the mountain and laughed with you on that one! It looked like a lot of fun to me!
Hugs, Aunt Pat
