Silver or Blue?

 This year was a big year for the Schuberts.  We purchased our first house in Rapid City on west St Anne St, which just happens to be within 2 miles of the best elementary, middle and high schools in town.  And after I noticed a large dark spot in my parking space at work, we thought it would be the best thing to put the old Sebring out of his misery and get a new vehicle, preferably before the transmission fell out! We decided on a Mitsubishi Lancer Sportback.  After driving a crossover I knew I didn't want an SUV.  And I wasn't looking for anything very sporty but I did know that I wanted a hatchback, maybe I subconsciously miss the Silver Bullet!  I must be a Car Gal through and through.  And continuing on with the tradition of having a car that is not quite one color and not quite another, this car is called silver but if parked beside a silver car it looks blue.  Click on the pictures to make them bigger and if you look really hard you can spot a big yellow cat in a few of the shots.

Diversity Tomorrow, because Today is Amost Over

"Abraham Lincoln once said that if you are a racist I will attack you with the North, and those are the principles that I carry with me in the workplace."

Yes, we have become a 'big business' business and we now have to jump through many more hoops.  The most recent of these being Diversity Training.  Though there were no 'ethnicity cards' or controversy, it was still very interesting.  This video was presented about Jane Elliot, a teacher in the 60's, and her discrimination experiment.

Movie # 6

Due to a certain semi-important football game last week, Katie and I did not make it to the movie.  (Sadly we missed the Odd Couple with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, but I've TiVo'ed it and this will be on the top of the list for the Katie and Elizabeth Classic Movie Spectacular!) Both of our husbands wanted to have Superbowl parties and we thought it would be wise to make sure our belongs and our houses survived the night.  Thankfully, everything and everyone came through unscathed. 

This weeks movie fell on Valentine's Day, so what better than a classic musical love story?

GREASE

(I'm not going to rate this one; I don't know anyone who hasn't seen it.)

 

Freezer Paper Stenciling

  







  



Sadly, I have to bring up Facebook. The other day a friend had posted pictures of her sweet, homemade stenciled clothing and a little light bulb went off above my head. This is a fun and very easy project for any age and once again, I must say, I LOVE my Cricut!

I found this great blog, Monday Prints, that has great stenciling instructions, along with a great idea for the future baby shower(s?) I'll be throwing.  Great, right?!


The only thing I do differently is apply 2 coats of paint.  This could depend on what brand of paint you are using.  I also cut out my stencils on the Cricut.  It limits what stencils I can make but it only takes a few seconds to cut them out.  In the future I'll probably branch out and make a few without the Cricut, but that will take a bit more motivation!
