I won’t bore you with my boring but busy life reasons for not posting.  Suffice it to say, the first day of school is fast approaching, and besides running Decorate Your Space, I am running a family.

I spent hours at the high school yesterday.  The afternoon portion was filled with screwing legs on tables and chairs, breaking screws on legs of chairs, (OK only one, but it created enough work to seem like more…), lugging giant rolls of carpet through the school, cleaning endless piles of tiny static Styrofoam pieces, getting scolded for ripping down a hideous bulletin board without permission, and sweating in the humidity. 

The Teachers Lounge is looking good.  I had a wonderful helper, the PTSO President Annette, who worked without complaint, and even called her husband to rescue us and fix the broken chair.  We still need to work on decorating the walls.  We plan to use rub on quotes along the long narrow space near the tables, but we are still working on the implementation.  We would also like the staff to have a place to post items about their lives and I think I need one long panel to the left of that skinny window.  And the coffee station does not yet exist.
