Updates combined with to do list
Exercise
I walked around my classroom for 15 minutes yesterday morning. I walked all around the lunchroom yesterday while doing lunch duty. I did a 30 minute walk yesterday after school. All of which were very nice. I especially enjoyed the after school walk. It relaxed me and got me focused on the music I need to work on for the USO Veteran's day shows and gave me ideas for the Christmas show. The leaves are starting to turn and fall here and it makes my cool afternoon walks VERY pleasant. Will try to remember to bring camera with me this afternoon to snap some photos to share.
After yesterday's burst of exercise like activity, I have noticed today that my calves feel stronger. Not sore like I did too much yoga after being away from it for a year, just a dull "hey we are here and getting tougher" kind of feeling. I like it. I may need to look into an at home yoga video to up my regime with.
Theater Stuff
I am working on getting my stuff together and learned for the upcoming USO Show on Nov. 11th and 12th. Which really translates into, I'm working on getting Lee's stuff together so he can learn it for the USO Show. I'm not certain when it happened but at some point I sort of became his manager/secretary for his MC gigs. Mind you, this doesn't apply to all shows he does nor all MC gigs.... but lately it is the state of things. I helped him type out a sketch from one of his Dean Martin Variety Show DVDs last night so he and Kent could start working on it. As for my stuff, I only have three songs to learn... and I pretty much know two of them.... just need to memorize all the words in the correct order. Melodies I got figured out. I'm also now in charge of delivering all my music as well as Lee's to appropriate accompanists in DC so they can learn the music. I'm pretty certain I'll be in charge of scheduling the rehearsals too. Just a hunch.
Maybe I should have gone into PR or HR instead of teaching. I appear to be good at organizing everyone else and scheduling things.
Jewelry Stuff
Looking into ordering more wire supplies. I have some pretty fabulous ideas in my brain just burning to be made. Some wonderul new wire wrapping skills have begun to blossom and I am hoping to put those to good use. I'm investigating a company called Santa Fe Jewelry Supply. They have fantastic deals on copper, brass and artist wire. They also have some pretty frickin' amazing deals on faceted stones and beads. For silver wire though, Rio Grande still has them beat. As for beads.... beads I have plenty of. And cabachons too... I need to come up with more cabachon and vintage recycled pieces. That's where I am headed.
To do list
1.) Go for afternoon walk~ 30 minutes.
2.) Do the dishes.
3.) Vaccuum livingroom.
4.) Drop off music with Ginger and Bonnie.
5.) Look into the sheet music for Santa Baby.
6.) Take some time to play with wire and jewelry stuff.
7.) Work on the garden with Lee.
That's enough for today. Actually, that's probably more than enough.
