Calgon....Take me away...

Feet.
Help us stand.
Help stand firm
Except when they throb, then they send your body swaying back and forth a little each time your heart beats...ever notice that?
Throbbing...mine are RIGHT NOW!

Ive been on my feet since 5:30 am, and it is now 8:22pm. The Mosaic Art and Talent show was tonight...and despite the air being turned off at 1:50...and everyone sweating their f*@&$#* a$* off, it was a huge success and the unveiling of the Matador was the best part!
Here are some pics:

Day 5 for me

Well, finally home and in p.j.'s and getting a chance to relax.
I'm realizing I have way too many ideas and not enough time to do them all. I can justify having about 4-5 different blog sites for various things...sick, huh?!
I got the go-ahead today to start planning a fundraiser at my school to help raise money for the mosaic program to continue. I believe it will be June 2nd or 3rd. We will sell tickets and I'm hoping the kids now will donate their projects to be sold at the event?! Not sure about this, still very much in the planning stage. Have some kids in mind to perform for us-break dancing possibly! I LOVE break-dancing and always wanted to learn how to do it! Tee Hee!
Our next project will be to do an 8 foot "Matador" out front by the office, and we should be starting that soon! I cant wait to see it! He will be gorgeous! (Our mascot is the Matador)
Ill take pics as we go along, so you can see what we are doing.

Well, all for now!
