Trying to stay focused at work. I just keep thinking "two more weeks, two more weeks, two more weeks." I have a few things to keep me busy (checking the library for works that Simon's lining up for next year and preparing for this afternoon's interviews) but it's all pretty mindless. I can safely say I will be so happy when in two weeks I am ( Read more... )

And especially, GO ISM!!! Ian and Josh won first and second place in the Bach competition! I'm so proud of our boys! I'm not sure who got what as Derek didn't elaborate in his voice message but it hardly matters!

GO IAN AND JOSH!!!!

Oh Facebook, why must you waste so much of my life? Precious time down the drain as I've spent the past TWO HOURS on facebook. Wow. My brain hurts.

So Derek comes home tomorrow. Of course not until after 10pm. Stupid Jet Blue and their one flight a day. Tomorrow I need to get the house clean. I've really trashed his office this week. There are CDs ( Read more... )

Got the car back. It's lovely. You can barely tell it's running it's so quiet. The engine doesn't chirp, the muffler doesn't woof, the breaks don't squeak. I'm so happy! This will make it nice and easy to sell, hopefully!

Derek didn't make it into the finals. I'm certain the judging was rigged. Both Josh and Ian made it. It just doesn't seem right ( Read more... )

When I went out for lunch I noticed that I had a flat tire. GRRRR. Of course it's pouring rain. But being the strong, self-sufficient woman that I am I changed the flat and put on my spare BY MYSELF, in the rain. I looked like a drown rat when I was done but I was SO proud of myself!

So I took the car to Midas. They are fixing the tire along with ( Read more... )

Well, I've gotten the OK from work. I have a tentative yes from Kaji for taking care of Bella. I just have to find a flight. I'm so tired of searching Orbitz, and Cheaptickets, and Expedia, and Travelocity. It's the most frustrating. How can there be such a limited number of flights from New England to Portland. There are so many different options ( Read more... )

Good news: Oregon Bach Festival asked me to come and sing yesterday. Apparently one of their sopranos bailed and Jimmy gave them my name. This means that instead of spending 3 weeks away from Derek, I can now spend three weeks with him in Oregon singing Bach and Mozart under Rilling. Woot.

Bad news: This means I must let several people down. Nick ( Read more... )

Ok, managed to fix the iPod. I had to download an iPod updater and reset the iPod to factory settings. This deleted everything from the iPod and let me start from scratch (including renaming it). Thank goodness. The nice thing is that now I can start over again with my playlists and get rid of things that I never listened to!

I have to worse cramps ( Read more... )

So Saturday morning I took Derek's ipod out of the carging dock and put mine in to charge it a bit before the drive to JFK. sadly I forgot to eject Derek's ipod so when I put mine in the computer thought that my ipod was Derek's and wiped out everything on mine and put all of Derek's playlists on. This means that all the space on my little mini is ( Read more... )

OK, so I WAS going to take the day off. Derek is off to California for a week tomorrow and we had a big fight last night so I wanted to spend as much time with him as possible before he leaves. But I realized this morning that I had a meeting with our director at 10am. So I came in. Well I just got an email from his assistant saying that he was ( Read more... )
