welcome, all one of you!

When I was little I used to sit on the playground with my cousin and make her tell me about the stories on Rescue 911 because my mom wouldn't let me watch it. And I also used to pretend that Corey's best friend on Boy Meets World was my boyfriend.

I am writing a lamo paper

Holy crap. I'm trying to write a 15 page paper. I started at 12 today, and before I started I got really excited for some reason... you know....those butterflies were going on. I have no idea why. I might like writing papers a little bit. But the thing is... it's now 7:26 and I have three pages done. What the heck? I've done most of my research, so why is it taking so long? Well, my topic is the early development of English opera. The worst thing is when you are trying to use different sources, it is hard making sure that your time line stays accurate. It's the worst! I really wanted to get it done today. Ha! I guess three pages is better than none. But 15 would be even better than three. And my butt hurts from sitting in this chair! I really need to be memorizing some music right now. Bless me, I just sneezed. When I am writing a paper, I need lots of breaks. Otherwise, I go crazy. I am going crazy. Oh well. Brian will be home in an hour and then maybe I can relax a little. I've been alone for a whole day! It's been so nice, but yet, I miss my hubby. I miss daylight. This day passed too quickly.

well, it's november. I am a busy beaver. It's that time of year when I have to give myself one weekend to write a 15 page research paper, and another the next weekend. I want to go crazy. Basically, I need a vacation. Not one in sight until...oh christmas. Before then I have papers, auditions, juries, performances, and everything all over again. I love what I do. I love singing and teaching people to sing. I even love my voice class. But at times... it all seems so...unrewarding. I work so hard and for what? I don't even know, honestly. Oh my gosh... so random, but I have been having this debate with my sisters for a while now.... I have a hard time accepting that having children is an acceptable goal. I mean, obviously I want to have them, but to have that be your only goal? It seems like such a cop out. Can someone's only goal (career wise) be to just have kids? Well, I'm not saying that it's not hard and all consuming, but until that day comes, do you just bide your time basically waiting for that to happen? What about the betterment of yourself? Maybe I'm weird...I just feel like it's so lazy to have that as your only goal....

Skip you, back to me...

I have this weird ability.... I always win at Uno. I never even get worried when I have ten cards in my hand... it's only a matter of time. I refuse to believe it's all luck. Skill. Skill, my friend. That is the only explanation.

I am sick with a little fever. Granted, I might be a big baby, because it's only 99.5... but I'm feeling really homesick right now. Maybe it's listening to Mary Chapin Carpenter that did it.... BUT I MISS MY MOM AND DAD!!!! Every once in a while I revert back to being a little kid, and I wish that I appreciated being young while I was... I miss going to Camillus Mall and splitting a pack of Skittles with my mom and sisters before we went to gymnastics. I miss having little kid birthday parties where my mom had EVERY game and activity planned out for us. I miss my dad asking us every saturday if we wanted to run errands with him to get boring things like nails and horse food. I wish I said yes more often! Anyway... I'm sick. Mom- I need gingerale and toast!
