ramblings

I just haven't been in the mood to write lately. I feel there's so much going on, but I'm too lazy to journal. I'm at work at the moment and have finished most of my work, so I'm forcing myself to take this opportunity to write about what's been happening. I'll just do bullet points....in no particular order, here goes:

-last Monday, Melodies led worship at the first Women's Ministry of the season. It was wonderful! We ended our set with "Our God is an Awesome God," SIGNING and SINGING at the same time and the few that were there also participated in signing. SO much fun!

- My trip got cancelled because of the weather conditions a week ago. I'll be seeing Caleb next Thursday...it seems SO far away, but I know it's not!

- I'm happy that my parents are back from their trip to Indonesia. I didn't realize how much I missed them until they came back.

- I've been teaching Mom how to text message. She's getting it...just needs to keep on doing it daily...but she is so excited to learn and to actually be caught up with technology (finally). This is a small step...but, at least she is learning!

- I need to prioritize my relationship with God. and to reignite that fire for Him.

- Caleb and I are great. It's always hard, but we are adjusting and getting used to everything I think. He's usually in class til late at night, and will call me whenever he gets back to his room...and I've been okay with that, at least for now!

- His birthday was two days ago! Sad I couldn't celebrate with him, but will definitely celebrate with him when I see him.

- Piano students are doing good. It gets frustrating at times...but I see potential in all my students. Ian had his recital (in front of my mom, denise, his mom and nathan) a few weeks ago and did great. I bought him a Bionicle as his reward and HE was so excited and happy. Nathan's recital will be on March 9th, hopefully...just got to motivate him to practice and to clean up all of his pieces. Alex and Gabriel are doing VERY good. They both improved a lot last week, so I hope that today's lesson will also be as good as the last. I have a notation test for them to take today, so hopefully they do good.

- I might get another piano student and it'll be a GIRL (finally!!!). She's five and I would have to drive to her house, however, so we'll see how that all fits in my already packed schedule.

- I won't get a lot back from Taxes this year compared to last year! UGH. but I'm grateful that I don't have to PAY at least. and I'm grateful I still have a job!

- Going to Universal Studios tomorrow to celebrate Cynthia's birthday with Linda and her friends from LA. She booked a room at the Hilton...so it should be fun! It's supposed to rain though...but that won't stop us from having fun!

- I bought her a cake from "it's a piece of cake" and can't wait to eat it!! It's red velvet and it looks delicious.

- I need to be a better person and not judge people.

- I have discovered that I am very sensitive to negative words directed at me. Some people don't really care about what words are said to them, but I do.

- I won a 100 gift certificate to a spa from the radio by submitting a love letter that I wrote to Caleb. I have yet to pick up my prize!!!! I will have to find some time to do it next week!

- will continue later...
