Yes! I am finally finished with my art midterm project. I thought it would never be done. I think it turned out nicely. I like having a project that I've worked on for a long time. It's a nice sense of accomplishment.

I got a call a few days ago from a women at Second Baptist Church. She wanted to know if I wanted to paint the backdrops for their living nativity scene. I'm going to meet with her on Saturday to talk about the details. It would be really awesome for something I've painted to be seen by a large majority of the town.

A friend of mine who is a midwife here in Odessa called me to ask if I want to teach childbirth education classes at the birth center she is opening. (Which Odessa really needs) That's another great opportunity. I just need to get all my childbirth ed stuff together and review.

I'm looking at the course schedule for the spring. I think I have decided on the classes I want to take. Composition I (English), Figure Composition (Art), US History to 1877, and Contempary Math. All classes I need for my major. Three on the web which means I can be at home with the kids most of the time. I'll be going full time so I'll be eligible for some scholarships. I found a bunch at fastweb.com. I highly recommend it.
