This Messy Life

I'm tired.

I've worked a lot of hours this week, and I still haven't fully recovered from Swing Show week.

My apartment is both messy and dirty. My laundry piles are probably worse than when I was a teenager. I had way more time back then, and fewer clothes. Seeing the mess wears me out.

I'm hungry.

I haven't had a healthy meal in a long time.

I still eat a PB sandwich for lunch almost every day. Lame, I know.

I'm stressed.

Grad school applications should really have been finished by now. What's holding me back?

Even though I have a better idea of what I'm doing at school, the to-do list still overwhelms me.

I'm inspired.

I planned a lesson for a mimio (interactive whiteboard) for Monday morning. Music teachers CAN integrate technology!

I will be attending the All-State concert and singing the Messiah on Sunday. Ah, the true art of music... how I miss it...

I'm loved.

Nicole and Rhylee are in town for the weekend.

My family is coming on Sunday to see the concert and to help me celebrate my birthday.

I'm thankful.

I have a job.
I have clothes.
I have a warm apartment.
I have food.
I have friends.
I have a great family.
I have faith in a God who loves me.

Yep, Still Here

I don't want any of my dedicated readers to think I'm having a party and not inviting you... I haven't blogged for a very long time! Obviously... The new blog is set-up, but there are no posts... I'll be sure to let you know what the address is via e-mail.

Quick update: I'm still breathing. I love my nephew very much! School is... too much to say in a quick update. Life is good.

Sometimes I get disappointed when there is nothing new to read on other people's blogs. Then I remember I have one too...

If we have a snow day tomorrow I'll work on it. I feel like all my boxes (blog-wise) are packed, but I haven't officially moved.

100th Post

Celebration! This marks the 100th post AND the two year anniversary AND the season premiere of Grey's Anatomy. This is a BIG DAY!

From my first post at blogger - September 25, 2006

Home. What a wonderful word. I could complain about it, but don't believe for a moment I'd rather be in Australia with a bunch of strangers than here with my favorite people in the world! Besides, who wouldn't want to sleep on an air mattress 10 feet from a big screen TV, 5 feet from a mini pool table, and 3 feet from my long absent computer. All my sisters actually... If they had their way there would be a slumber party in my "bed" every night!

3 things I did today: made fun of you, made fun of your family, killed a llama.

"You're older than a teenager, but younger than an adult."
"Actually, I am an adult."
"Well then, you're an adult but you're younger than married."

Oh, say, can you see, thru the fog in Gilbertville,

Will we have a late start or will they just cancel?

Whose decision is it, yeah- the supernintendo.

We've already worked one day, let's just take a whole week off.

And the teachers all cheer, and the students don't cry,

For Jackie slept all day in her cozy apartment.

O say, we'll just see you mid-June with your textbook,

In the land of the Dunkeroo and the home of the Zwiefel!

When I hear Polka music I can picture the band, the golden anniversary couples, and smell Mom's cooking. Here's the best part, it's still on! Yes you, faithful reader, can be on this amazing television program!

I'm not sure if anyone else enjoyed that post, but I sure did! Can you still here the music? hehehe...

Not only is this the 100th post, it is also the last post for this blog. I will be starting a new one, since I cannot seem to have this one removed from Google's creepy crawler. I will e-mail you the new address. If you don't receive an e-mail from me, its because I don't know you read my blog. It may be a few days. Here's looking forward to another two years of blogging fun!
