Jeez, it's been a while since I updated! Time flies when you're, well, doing not much of anything. ha. Actually, I have been very busy, but not doing anything especially exciting.
I was the soloist in my friend Shannon's wedding. It was fun and it went well. The wedding was beautiful. The bride was one of my best friends from high school. The one friend that I didn't think would ever get married. Well, in the last 11.5 months, she met Tom, bought a house with him, got married and drum roll please... is expecting a baby! It is hard to believe. I am very happy for her, but I'm not gonna lie, I feel a little left behind. I kind of always thought that I would at least have one single friend. That when she and I were little old ladies, we would at least have each other to hang out with. Now when we make plans, say for dinner, the hubby is always there too. It's actually so surprising because this was never who she was. Not that it's a bad thing for her; she seems very happy and her husband is super nice; it's just weird. Oh well.. things change.
Anyway, let's see, what else has been going on? um Valentine's Day has come and gone, thankfully. At the risk of sounding like a bitter single woman, that day sucks. Now if I have ever had a "valentine" or anything special had ever happen to me on February 14, perhaps I would feel differently. Actually, I know I would. I would look forward to the candy hearts and flowers. That's just the kind of person I am. But NO, I have never enjoyed the day and it just reminds me that I'm single and alone. Alright, I'm not going to rant about my misery, but I gotta tell ya, I have been kind of miserable lately on that front.
So in addition to the wedding, I am also in my high school's musical. I'm a glutton for punishment. It's a ton of work, the director is totally disorganized and can't control the kids, and I am worried that it's going to be a total disaster. Oh did I mention, I would be singing and dancing in front of the entire community? I must be on the pipe. So that has been taking up some time. Other things on my fire: I'm MCing our annual "Air Band Contest" which is a huge deal at our school AND it's the week before the musical. I'm again planning the senior class trip to Florida, which is a ton of work. I have homebound instruction 5 hours/ week and Administrative detention 4 hours/week. Sure wish I didn't need the money!
So basically, life is hectic. I can't wait for Spring and especially Summer. Spring will be nice just to have all this crap off my plate and of course summer is my salvation! BUT, I don't want to wish my life away, so I'm going to try to enjoy myself through these busy times. Who knows, maybe something amazing will come out of one of these hectic days.
