Introductions galore.

I would like to introduce to you, my audience, the darling, MR. HIGGINS




Higgins is a daschund and chihuahua mix and he will soon be coming to live with me. My dear friend Liz (who i will also be living with) recently picked up Higgins from a pet rescue and he will now be 'our' adorable pet.

Now, I've only met him once, for a few minutes, but he has proved himself to be quite the gentleman. I simply cannot wait to get to know him better. I'm sure our relationship will lead to many interesting blogs in the coming years.

hmmmmm curious...

you know how there are some things in life that you just couldn't imagine ever going without... like the combination of peanut butter and chocolate, or toilet paper... well i think that music belongs in that mix as well... gotta have it, love to hear it, can't help but singing along. i'm pretty sure that life would be boring without it.

i read a book recently by chuck palahniuk called 'lullaby'... and the main character kept calling everyone quiet-a-phobics and noise-a-holics, that is so me. i'm not really afraid of silence, and sometimes it is necessary, but i'm pretty sure that silence can be vastly improved by subletting it's existence to music.

i've often thought about making soundtracks for different units of my life like: naptime, worktime, picking flowers time, painting time, happy time, eating time, fancy eating time, and of course dancing time. i just never seem to get around to it, apparently soundtrack making time hasn't quite made it onto my list yet. it takes a lot of work and a lot of times to get things right and to get them to flow it takes way more than i'm often willing to give, especially for nap time.

i'm interested to hear what you would include on a soundtrack to your life... does each song fit certain moods, flow with a particular memory, or just make you feel good therefore defining your personality. hmmmm curious...

wittling gnomes

you know how there are some words that just catch your attention and you think that they are awesome words or that you should use them more often? well, some of my friend Tyra's favorite words are 'wittling' and 'gnomes'.... and it got me thinking do i have any words that would do the same for me? are there some words out there that you guys use that you can't get enough of? i guess that i do say that things are 'made of amazing' quite alot, but i'm not sure that is the same thing as what i'm talking about. hmmm... words i can't live without... i know i have some but nothing comes to mind at this very moment. ooo, i think that one of them is 'inappropriate', yes, good word! maybe i'll get back to you with some others.

the grand final-e

Today is the last day of finals for the students at my high school which, for me, means it is the last day of formal work before i clock in for my few month vacay.

This summer won't be all fun and games... i did find a job to cover about half of my summer and the other half is busy as well, but hopefully i can get out and enjoy the beautiful summer weather for a few days before all of that begins.

as far as finals go, i guess that i thought my students would do much better than they did on the final that i gave for keyboarding. apparently i'm not the most amazing teacher. oh well, i guess i need some room for improvement leading into my second year of teaching.
