UT Martin, road trips, and bathroom time

So I took a drive down to UT Martin campus to get a look at where I will be graduating from in the fall.  Really I had to drive down because I had a Prof. that required our portfolio be mailed in by Monday at 5pm.  I wasn't taking the chance that the mail would come in at 5:01.
 I figured since I'm an online student, I'd check out the school I was going to.   And try to sell back some books, too.

     Sunday night I turned in my poetry manuscript.  I think it's pretty good, if I do say so myself.  I may try to get it published.  Stay tuned for that.  I was up all night Saturday night working on it and Sunday I spent finalizing my Education class portfolio.  I took the 2 and a half hour drive out to Martin, going on 48 hours with no sleep, some Coca-Cola and a Starbucks Mocha doubleshot.   That was a fun drive.  It really was.  Kinda reminded me of my young college days driving out to Chattanooga.  Only this time, no mountains to drive through.  Yay!  I got to turn up the music and play whatever I wanted, sing as loud as I wanted, and  eat junk food.  It was heaven.

Decorating project: Spare bathroom/ pt. 1

I have begun a my first real project around my house.  The spare bathroom.  It is, of course, one of the most important room for entertainers.  Besides the room you are entertaining in, the spare bathroom will be the room that most of your guests will see.  

I am a bathroom connoisseur.  I have loved deciding the colors, shapes and textures I will be going with.

Beautiful Sky-lit Bathroom

I confess, I go and search out the bathrooms of new homes I visit just to see what they've done with it.  Some people have cozy, homey little bathrooms with scented soaps, magazines, and plush rugs that make you want to stay forever.  Some folks went with the shower curtain, toilet tissue, soap dish, that's it, look.  Some people have bathrooms that are under construction, for 10 years.  And some, have made their bathrooms showplaces.  Deep whirlpool tubs and heated floors.  Crown molding, bold colors  and designer bathroom fixtures.
