Marvelous Monday Update 5/17/10

HUMOR
In reading the comments in regards to my last post, I got the feeling some of my readers thought it was me in the scenario. It wasn't, lol. It was a joke I posted because I thought it was funny.

SCHOOL
I felt *really* rushed toward the end of my final exam. When I looked over my scored exam, I wasn't surprised at the ones I got wrong -- all the ones at the end of the test. :( With that said, I did manage to get a score of 87%. Can't complain about that.

The group oral presentation went pretty well. There was quite a bit of discussion afterwards on our subject of e-waste.

Yesterday, the instructor posted our final grades. Drum roll, please.......

I got a good, solid "A"! Yay for me :) Now, I'm free for two weeks before I start the next semester.


STITCHY STUFF
Since last week was my last week of school for the semester, I was able to get some stitchig in. Finally! I did a little stitching on Gingerbread House -and- LK ABC's. Here's what both look like so far:

Gingerbread House
ABC Lessons

Over the weekend, I went with a friend to look at a house. While wandering through the house, I spotted picture on the wall. Then I did a double take. It was cross stitched landscape, about 11x14 in size. In a heartbeat, I was over to the piece to check it out, lol! It was nice, but the entire house reeked... and I mean so bad my eyes were burning... of cigarette smoke... so I can't imagine what it has done to the stitched piece.


GARDENING
The weather was rainy almost every day last week. (Can you say water in the basement?) Even so, I was able to get plants into planters and hanging baskets. For $3 worth of flowers, I planted two of these huge hanging baskets. In a little over a month, this basket will be over flowing with foliage and blooms. I can't wait!


If the weather holds out *crossing fingers*, I hope to get my vegetable garden planted.
