Two pictures here:  One of me, all dressed up, and one of Sean's birthday pictures.  He's very cute. I look OK.  It was very windy, so my hair is blowing, and I'll admit to blurring a big wrinkle out of my skirt.  :)

I only have af ew minutes to post this morning, because I'm supposed to be at mass soon and I need to roust my husband out.

Still, too cool to pass up.

Got on the scale today and was .4 pounds under my goal weight.  That means I've lost 46 pounds, and three clothing sizes.

No kidding, I went shopping at the Ann Taylor Outlet last weekend and ( Read more... )

I think I've proved beyond a doubt that I am a huge liturgical music nerd.

I found a website that has a pretty decent selection of music from church.  I've spent the last two days (and I'll bet you more to come) downloading hymns I love, choral pieces I enjoy, burning them on to CDs for the car, and putting them on my own personal mp3 player.

I've been playing phone tag with Ian's Occupational Therapist leading up to his IEP meeting this Thursday.  Since we keep missing each other, she said on the last message that she thinks he is doing so well that he can "graduate" out of the OT program.  If something changes, we can always go back and add in OT at another time, but right now, she ( Read more... )

I guess it has been a while, huh?

First, from the last entry:  I did take/am taking a break from the choir for a little bit.  I got myself out of the bells for 4/20, but I'll probably come back after that.  We hiatus over the summer, so I suspect our last service until the fall will be Pentecost, May 11th.  I do like playing bells, so I'd hate to ( Read more... )

Survived Easter.  Finally.  I'm tired, and I'm frustrated-- not with the music, but with myself.  I need to take a step back from the music and get myself back on the right page.  I've been spending so much time, especially during this week,when I should  have been the *most* focused, trying to be all things to all people.  I missed the first ( Read more... )

I have a lousy head cold.  It's all draining and draining, and it's making me sick to my stomach.  Ugh ( Read more... )

So:  Sunday, 3/9, Jubilee out at the West end of God-only-knows-how-we-got-there ( Read more... )

Right on:  Ian has thoroughly enjoyed being in the first grade.  Good behavior reports so far this week.  He comes home in shock and awe that they do things like read their library books in class.

The only difficult thing is when he comes home with homework that has pretty sketchy instructions, where it's obvious all the other kids have been doing ( Read more... )
