I ended rather abruptly the last entry. My laptop was on battery and it seemed to be dangerously low so I thought I'd better quit before my effort was wasted ( Read more... )

So it's been more than a week since my last entry. Unfortunately, I have to be brief. I have a voice lesson tomorrow AM and haven't practiced in days. I wonder what I sound like?! Hmmm ( Read more... )

I worked at the store 12-5. Had been told that there was a shuttle bus from the local high school to the mall on Saturdays but I went there and stood around for a while and no sign of any bus or people going shopping. So I called the store at 10 min to noon and explained where I was and that I would probably be a bit late. Evidently the shuttle ( Read more... )

I am a little shaken still and feel lucky to be alive. We got kokopoko's storm. The rain turned to snow overnight so I had a lot of work to clean off my car this AM. As often happens, the wipers were encrusted with ice and weren't cleaning well even after I tried to clean the ice off. I thought, as the car warms up the remaining ice will melt ( Read more... )

Well, it was hardly an interview, really. I met with the director of Northwestern Academy yesterday and she's happy to add me to her roster of teachers. Pros: more likely to get homeschoolers, pays $30/hr, they do payroll taxes. Cons: probably no voice students, almost impossible to get health insurance, studios are college practice rooms, ( Read more... )

It didn't start snowing until tonight on the drive home. I had a cancellation and a no-show so I got to make the drive in the heat of rush hour. It was actually kind of relaxing--sitting in the dark car, listening to NPR, while driving 20 mph or less ( Read more... )

Everyone was really nice though. I'm a little peeved at getting hours cut. We were dismissed earlier than promised and asked to report an hour later tomorrow, because the ( Read more... )

I went contradancing last night inspite of the fact that we were in a tornado watch. I'm soooo glad I went! I got to dance with Gypsy again--managed to snag his last dance of the evening. Whew. He had his daughter with him, she's about 5 so 10:20 was way past her bedtime. OMG, he is such a great dancer. I was talking to some women after the ( Read more... )

Yesterday my phone started misbehaving, or at least that's when I noticed it. Argh. It flips back among company service, digital roaming and analog roaming so I can't make or receive calls. I have to go to the store and get it reprogrammed. Grrr ( Read more... )

Sorry, I have been out of the loop for a while while my cousin built a new computer. Yeah, you read that right. He built this computer for a little over $400 ( Read more... )
