Improvising.

Over the past couple of days, while I've been cat sitting, I've been able to take the time to record some improv stuff on the piano. Seriously. I havent listened to any of it yet, and have no idea what I will hear when I put the files onto my laptop and listen to them. I PROMISE that I will post any of these that are any good as soon as I listen to them!

I cant believe that a week from this sunday is Easter. How amazing! It came way to quickly this year. It will be 150 years before Easter is this early again. Last Easter (Easter 2007) I had to work at Dow Gardens. Thankfully this year I don't have to work Easter.

I am going to make my next post devoted to the lyrics that I wrote after seeing the Extreme Makeover Home Edition on Patrick Henery Hughes.

I'm blogging again from next to the cat.

How did I know that I was going to be so addicted to this blogging thing? For some odd reason I have found that it is rather amusing to be sitting in from of the computer typing something about yourself or your life that you might have never said to anyone else.

Right now Im around the corner cattsitting, and the cat decided that it wanted to sit next to me to watch me type this. I must say that Cujo (the cat) really seems to like having me here for two+ hours a day. At least this gives me a reason to get out of the house and away from my parents who really hate it when I disapear to my room to study. Lets just say that I hate studying in the kitchen when everyone is home because ther is TOO MUCH GOING ON around me to concentrate. In my room at least I can put my head phones on to tune out all of the noise downstairs.

Enough of that. I really hope my dad doesnt have any snow days/ 2hour delays this next week so I can actually get into a routine of when and where I study when nobodys home during the school week. Im not sure what my brother is going to do this next year when he goes to college. Part of me hopes he moves away and part of me wants him to go to Delta. I'm not really sure what to think yet. I think that if I can save up enough money over the summer and this winter, I might get an appartment next fall here in Midland. That would be nice. I think that might be what I do. If I don't have enough money to do it on my own, I might do it with one of my friends. That reminds me- I should e-mail her to see if she might be up for that.

I am really excited to see what happens today in the Packer football game. Yes I am a Packer fan ( a very BIG Packer fan). A couple of years ago I got AJ Halks autograph during their training camp- man is that guy BIG!!

I really need to get some studying done and send that e-mail, so I'll be back to blog again later.

Love ya all!

News in the cat sitting front.

I'm catsitting through the 14th, and so right now I am sitting at their house with their cat listening to the radio and writing this. It's now 9:30 AM here, and I got over here at 8 this morning. I've spent the time studying, cleaning out all the junk from the kitty litter box, adding water to the water bowl, and adding more food to the cat's food dispenser thing. I have a feeling that my dad (who somehow got a day off of school due to bad weather) is going to be over here soon to see what I've been up too. He can't completley blame me. This cat HATES being left alone for more than 24 hours. If the cat comes wandering in, I might have to stop writing for a moment.

I'm glad it's Friday. On Friday's I don't have any classes, so I have time to do homework and study. Well, maybe not all day. I think I'll write a lot of blogs on Wensdays and Fridays. It also has allowed for me to take on a part time payed position at my church that is badley needed. I get to go to church, play the piano, and play chimes and bells. I will still (on ocasion) be working in the nursery at church. I am SOOOOOOOO excited about this chance I am getting. Don't worry-my grades will still be good. I won't be working every hour of every week, and I'm not studying or in class every hour of every week, so this will give me a good break from it all.

I very well could be working at a Wisconsin camp over the summer! I just have to send the application in soon. I also could be working at Dow Gardens again. If I am working at Dow Gardens, I WILL definatly post a new blog every week about some of the interusting things that may have happened at work. Here are a few of the highlights from last summer: Libby meets a deer, Tall Laura and Short Laura both falling off of golf carts on the same day, getting sunburn on my third day of work, my brother telling me I looked like a bright red lobster, and spending three weeks straight on my own watering azealas, rhodenedrons, and newly planted trees.

Well, I need to get back to my studying/homework for my Children's lit. I have to read "Charolettes Web" by wensday evening, read "Love that Dog" by Sharon Creech, and do some writing on them both.

Hopefully everyone has had a good week and is going to have anouther good one!

Love ya all!
