Been really busy lately. So far, and including tomorrow, I've worked every school day at Tenino High this month. Tomorrow will be my 14th day in a row without subbing for one teacher on consecutive days. Make sense? Probably didn't explain that well ( Read more... )

Greetings from the high school computer lab. It's been a while since I've written. I read friend posts everyday but I've just been too tired to write recently.

WorkI've been working a ton so far this school year. I'm in the middle of an 8 school days in a row stretch and worked 13 of the 20 school days in September. When you think about it, it's ( Read more... )

Funeral yesterday, graveside service today... I don't think I'm equipped with the right words to properly describe how difficult this all is. It is great to see so many friends and family again and know that so many people loved my sister.

My sister passed away early Sunday morning. Most of you know this already but I need to update here as well ( Read more... )

--I'm at my sister's right now. She's really frail now. My brother made a comment on facebook that he expects she has two weeks left. Clint (my bro-in-law, her husband) and I are inclined to agree. My dad isn't keeping it together very well and my brother seems to not be doing that great either. He's also in charge of writing the eulogy. Our uncle ( Read more... )

I went down to my sister's yesterday and it was actually much better than I expected. Before I went down (with Richard, my brother's best friend from high school who practically lived in our house then) we checked in with my mom who was at the Grange getting ready for a big event there. She filled me in on how she's doing and that she'd probably ( Read more... )

Last night's show pretty much completely sucked. It was like everything went wrong. Let's break it down ( Read more... )

- We played our first of two shows at the Southwest Washington Fair. The sound people took forever to get everything set up and get our sound figured out. I swear the guy running the main board took 5 minutes messing with stuff while we waited. The when we finally started we were told we had about 20 minutes. In all we played 5 songs from our 12 ( Read more... )

At the beginning of the month was my volleyball team's camp at Clackamas Community College in Oregon City. It was a great experience for the girls. We only had 9 go, with was a little disappointing considering there were 2 seniors who didn't go. As Blanford and I have said, we wouldn't cry if they don't bother trying out this year, we'd rather go ( Read more... )

Last night's show was pretty good. A ton of fun. We weren't exactly a match since TelluRide is a country band (and a damn good one, and I don't like country). Before I get into anymore details I have to vent my frustration with selling ONE fucking t-shirt. Since it was a benefit show we were paid zilch, so we made $10. This album, all said and done ( Read more... )
