Not Enough Hours
4 May 2009I need about 10 more hours added on to each day this week. There is too much stuff to do – and I am talking work related stuff (yuck!). Our big spring concert is Thursday. Dress rehearsals all day wednesday. Wednesday evening Taylor heads to the breeding farm in Ft. Wayne. Tuesday all day I [...]
This Too Shall Pass #1,274
10 February 2009Wow, I am good! Totally psychic! Did I NOT predict this????
It’s funny. I am getting pretty good at reading peoples’ personal signs. I see the little rumblings, the hum of oncoming traffic, the tiny pinprick of light in the tunnel belonging to the freight train. It gets closer, rumblings get louder, a few more incidents, [...]
Random #385
22 October 2008There is a stopwatch in my office that I use to time our halftime shows. Somehow it got set on an alarm mode, and every single morning at exactly 7:58am it starts beeping, and beeps for a full minute. I cannot figure out how to disable this alarm! What kind of mo-ron am I – [...]
H.B.
26 September 2008I spent most of the morning doing stuff and didn’t even remember it was my birthday. Weird!
Today is a crazy day for me – I had to play (trumpet) at the Homecoming Mass this morning, then teach classes, then the band uniforms came in (all mixed up so I have to sort them for each [...]
Summerish Update
3 August 2008It’s August already. How depressing is that?
Let’s see, what have I accomplished this summer?
NOTHING!
I did get to do some travelling – a last-minute trip to the Bahamas in June, Florida with the family in July plus a quick jaunt to New Orleans (details coming later). Oh yes, a horse show in Liberty, Kentucky and one [...]
No Holds Barred
26 July 2008I hate sitting in the bathroom and hearing stuff that wasn’t meant for my ears. I hate it when it is about me, and it’s rude, wrong, and just plain disloyal. I hate it when I am forced to ignore it rather than make a big stink about it. I’d like to call it out, [...]
Late nights and exhaustion
18 July 2008It is 2:45am. I am awake…not by choice. I am so exhausted that I feel ill, but I am forcing my eyes to stay open. I am amazed that a bunch of 17 year olds have SO much evergy after being worked to death for the past 4 days in the 90+ degree heat. Oh [...]
Paradise…
15 June 2008…Island. That’s where I’ve been – Bahamas, baby!
Kevin and I had a blast – a great getaway for the two of us. I didn’t even get a bad sunburn this time, amazing!
It was fun and amusing hobnobbing with the rich folks. I wonder if anyone knew I bought my entire outfit at Wal-Mart? I went [...]

Annoyances
14 February 2008I am super-highly annoyed today. Here is a short, succinct list of the various annoyances that come to mind at this moment:
The internet server at work has BLOCKED my own website, so now I cannot even look at it during the day. I cannot edit it or anything…what a total pain.
People who make bold, generous [...]
