I teach music at a school in Milwaukee. I work with 1st through 12th grade students. Today I was talking about tempo with my 4th/5th grade students and I said that andante was walking tempo. So I used one of the teachers in the classroom as an example. I said, "Ms. Smith is walking andante." I know, not really grammatically correct, but oh well ( Read more... )

I know, I'm no good at posting regularly. I still owe pictures from the new tattoo that I've now had for three and a half weeks. I need to shave first, to be honest. Life is pretty good. I dropped MSC (barbershop chorus), picked up Bel Canto (classical choir). Matt's been doing a lot of gigs lately. Dinner parties have been going well. Work is good ( Read more... )

Thank you to everyone for suggestions for the new tattoo. I ended up getting it on the inside of my right ankle. I decided that the tattoo was not as important enough to me to permanently disagree with my husband for the rest of my life about it.

Seriously, please don't look if I know you in real life and there is a ( Read more... )

Only five more days of work!!! Then two whole weeks off to just do nothing...... yeah right. I start class, have plans with D, lunch with some friends here, a yarn date with Peggy, get a perm, and I'm trying to convince Matt to take a day off to play hooky with me. But still I won't have to get up early unless I want to and I can stay up super late ( Read more... )

So I am going back to school. I am starting a 14-month program to complete my teacher certification. That starts in June of 2009. Once I finish that, I will be 12 credits short of my Masters in Education. So obviously, I will be finishing that as well. I'm actually starting a class at the end of October towards my Masters. This way I will only have ( Read more... )
