Swing yore partner!

Today I caught up on some sleepskie. A modest 5 hour nap this afternoon was well needed. I attended two cook-outs this weekend due to the nice weather. And to top it all off, I went to a square dance last night. And am sore now from it. I love square dancing. I forgot how fun it is. I remember having square dancing in Mrs. Mercer's P.E. class back in Westminster. Such good times. And it's still a blast! A bunch of sweaty, smiling, half-drunk, smelly folks got together at the Vet's Hall last night and cut loose. Now, unfortunately, it's back to workskie.

Momma and Me

My life is pretty monotonous these-a-days. But! It is all worth it because yesterday...One of my student's mom came in and listened and partook of music time. Afterwards she came up to me and said "Thank you so much for all you do. (Her child, we will call him E) can't say many things, but one word he knows how to say is "Jake." She continued..."He gets so excited when he knows you are coming to do music that day, and we talk about you at home a lot. E loves you."

Needless to say, I was on the verge of tears. I'll take weeks of rain and clouds and cold and grad school and, and, and, and...if I could hear that every once in a while.

The sun is here!!!! It's 59 outside and people are in the streets naked! Me too! (underneath meine clothes that is)

If my roomate doesn't close her door and stop talking on the phone in a loud obnoxious voice...(she just shut the door, THANK GOD!) and burst out in laughter that makes you want to pound your head against the wall I will have to eat all of her fancy bread or tell her to shut up!!!!!!!!!! Her laugh comes without warning. She talks and then point blank a verrrrry shrill 1 second-long laugh then back to her normal talking voice. O how it makes my blood boil. O to live alone...or with someone you love...or alone.

I think everything might be O.K. Just listen to some Beach House and then go swimming.
