Camping? What camping?

I was so hopeful in July that I would be having a summer filled with camping. Silly me! Between summer school, friends moving, home remodeling and much moving/chaos at my school... it just hasn't happened. For instance... my classroom hasn't been painted in over 10 years and the walls are downright nasty. When I asked my principal if my room could get painted, she replied "sure it can - if you do it!". So, I spent this weekend "camped out" in my classroom, painting. Check out the mess I made:

My plan is to bust my tush this week and finish the room. Then... I will spend the weekend on Mt. Hood and have some real camping adventures to post. Until then, I'll be spending my time at Camp Painting Sucks! But it only took me 20 minutes to figure out how to post a video onto this blog tonight. So even if I'm not camping... I am accomplishing my goal to be learning about how to do this. :) And by the way, my principal is NOT a fan of the color I chose to paint my room but the kids in my summer school classes love it. Wait till she sees the trim color (green) and the furniture color (dark purple)... she'll regret letting me do this!
