Maybe I am ready
Filed in Musings, May 29, 2008, 10:26 pmI’ve been jokingly dreading the beginning of summer vacation because it usually means bickering and fighting amongst the ranks but I’m wondering if I’m just about ready to relinquish the morning routine for a few months. Every day lately I’ve been less and less willing to get up and more and more willing to let [...]
I hate this feeling
Filed in Musings, May 19, 2008, 1:52 pmToday is one of those days where I alternately feel like crying just a tiny bit or uncomfortable anxiousness. This morning I was feeling mushy and now, probably partially due to the coffee I’ve consumed, I feel incredibly anxious.
There are times when I start to feel so unorganized, both in the environmental and cognitive sense, [...]
Happy Birthday, Gracie!
Filed in Musings, May 18, 2008, 10:19 pmYes, I’m going to be cliche and exclaim, “Where the fuck did the last seven years go?!” We could also ask about the last nine (Iain’s age in a little over a week) or 15 (yes, 15 years married). But yeah, where is it, y’all?
I’ve come to the conclusion that I did not, in fact, [...]
The boy and other things
Filed in Musings, October 11, 2007, 11:45 pmYesterday was Iain’s first mainstreamed (for lack of a better term) gymnastics class and he seems to like it so far. I think he’s just so damned proud of himself moving up a level like his sisters do. Jeff said the coach remarked that he was great because he wasn’t being chatty and was following [...]
Happy shiny nice things
Filed in Musings, September 9, 2007, 10:24 pmI’ve spent the last few weeks mainly bitching about this or that so it’s about time I did a roundup of the nice things going on in my life or the nice stories to tell.
Gracie has been making me proud with her big heart even if she sometimes goes about her missions in sneaky ways [...]
I’m beat
Filed in Musings, August 2, 2007, 10:22 pmUgh. Last week sapped my energy and I’m still trying to catch up. We had something going on every day and add to that taking my mom to the ER Wednesday last week and then again to the doctor this past Monday and you have an exhausted mess in me.
I’ll start on a nice note [...]
Nice few days
Filed in Musings, July 15, 2007, 11:40 pmEvery year I look forward to the art fair my city puts on downtown. We have a downtown that is a block away from the river and every year they close down about a mile or so (maybe less? I’m not good with distance) and fill it with artist booths, delicious fair food and musical [...]
I broke my G string!
Filed in Musings, , 9:26 pmMade you look! No, the G string in question is on my violin. Or, rather, was on my violin. I was making a rather feeble attempt at tuning the poor thing and one thing led to another and PING — there went my G string. I won’t be able to get a new string until [...]
Suzuki Mama
Filed in Musings, June 23, 2007, 11:48 pmYesterday I brought home my newest potentially unhealthy obsession–my big-girl violin. I use the phrase “potentially unhealthy obsession” because when I take on a hobby or project, I tend to get a little hyperfocused. Too bad that hyperfocus doesn’t seem to cling long enough to be productive but hopefully, by doing this along with Gracie, [...]
eBay jerk
Filed in Musings, June 20, 2007, 9:02 pmWhy do people need to tell a boldfaced lie? I sent a woman on eBay a question about a violin she was selling in her shop. This wasn’t some odd violin that someone was looking to get rid of. She claims to be a seasoned musician and she has a store with different new models. [...]
