Well, my brother and sister-in-law and my adorable little nephew left yesterday.

It was so nice to see them again, and this time Thorne was a little more comfortable with his surroundings, and he REALLYenjoyed himself!  He watched his daddy and uncle "Jophas", as he calls Joseph, shoot guns, and then he got to ride the four-wheeler with uncle Jophas ( Read more... )

Oh, I feel so sleepy.  I have got to start getting to bed earlier, because it is so hard for me to wake up in the mornings.

I had an awesome time last night, getting to chat with Elizabeth(Paulini) on Skype!!!  That was just too cool, talking to someone I'd never met in real life, thousands of miles away!

Other good news, Trey and Laura and Thorne ( Read more... )

I haven't gotten any school done today.  We had to go into Jackson early this morning to the dentist, we came back and I had to immediately begin teaching.  I have a thirty minute break now, but then I will have more students coming.

Its been ages since I read a good murder mystery, so I checked out a Mary Higgins Clark several days ago.  Can't complain, at least it hasn't been boring ( Read more... )

Violin students can sometimes be the Biggest. Pain. Ever.

I hate it when I get a lesson time mixed up, and then I can't remember what was said on the phone, and they can't remember what the appointed time was.

ARRGHHH!

I know it was a waste of time, but these things can be fun! ;)

*disclaimer*: This is about the college campus where the music camp was held.  It was one of many camps going on there at the time. This is nothing against the college if that's the way they want to run things.  Personally I would never wish to go there, but I don't want to talk bad about it, I just want your seperate opinions on it.   So tell me ( Read more... )

Well, I got my sister's wedding gift today. A crock-pot. How exciting and tantalizing. *not* But, she'll use it, and it was on her registry list. Now, I've gotta think of something fun and cutesy that she'll remember from me. But I'm glad I got her "official" gift, because the shower is tomorrow, at my aunt's house. There are gonna be so ( Read more... )
