I took Friday off as a bio-filter day. I went to Arlington Thursday night, and Elisabeth had school on Friday as usual. She got up that morning and put my contacts in instead of her own. She knew she couldn't see right and they felt weird, but thought she could drive to school anyway. At least she had enough sense to turn around and go home at ( Read more... )

The director finally picked some new music for community band. Finally. It's South Pacific, which I don't really care for at all, but at least it is almost challenging. There's tenor clef and weird rhythms, and it's over 500 measures long. Never thought I'd be happy to see South Pacific music. Lessons are going better now that we have an ( Read more... )

So far, I haven't had to go to jury duty. Yay! Which is good, since this week at work has been very busy. One project I'm working on is for the employee Christmas party. They decided to have a STAR Center band of anyone who plays an instrument. It's kinda just for a good laugh, so I'm now trying to arrange two Christmas carols for the ( Read more... )

This last weekend, we didn't have anything on the schedule except regular church stuff. So, finally, a relaxing weekend. We played bored games, rode horses, cleared the lot.

Yay! Today's half over, and then tomorrow is the Christmas party at work, then its Christmas break! I do like that this place has wonderful holiday breaks. I don't have to come back until January 3. I wish I had brought a book to read today though, a lot of clients are not coming so its kinda slow, and there's not enough time to start on any ( Read more... )

Have you ever noticed that when a baby does something like, I don't know, puts his foot in his mouth, it's really cute and eveybody oohs and ahhs. The same behavior displayed by say, a 30-year-old man is disgusting. (Not that I've seen any 30-year-old men eating their feet lately, by the way.) My point is that snow is apparently the same thing ( Read more... )

You know all the complaining I have done about the internet. Well, it turns out that all this time, (as in, the whole semester) we have had a nasty virus on our computers that was messing up our internet. Apparently, Jackie decided it was not important to let us know that she has absolutely no protection software on her computer of any kind. The ( Read more... )

It is me, and I am still trying to figure everything out. I am also really disgruntled with dial up internet at home, so I probably won't really get into it good until I'm back at school with a decent computer that is ALL MINE!!! Just wanted to try it out again and see what I remembered.
