I apparently stink at blogging.
Problem is - Facebook. I tend to do a lot of my updating on there, so if you're ever looking to find out what it is that I am up to, look there.
I will try to be better, I promise.
Tomorrow is round one of baby showers - so exciting!

Thanks to Kelly
I have found a fun little interior design quiz.
My results are:
58% Nantucket style (living there must have rubbed off on me)
25% arts & crafts (good, cuz I like doing them!)
17% Wine Country style (woohoo-love wine!)
Now I need a couple of grand to decorate my house with the furniture they suggest...

Wow-I need to post more often
Ugh - I need to post more often, I keep forgetting.
I am busy!
However, I have found this piece of amusing information.
I am currently cooking dinner with a LOT of garlic! I am making garlic chicken, stuffed peppers (garlic in those too), and sour cream and onion mashed potatoes (ok, so no garlic there). Earlier, I made banana cookies to freeze for my party next month.
I like having Tuesday off. We should do it every week.

first post in May
Wow...I can't believe it took me almost two weeks into the month to post!
I've been a very busy girl!
I'm buying a house, I'm planning a wedding, I'm cleaning my house, I'm crocheting, I'm grading papers, I'm planning a field trip, I'm planning a concert, I'm FINALLY hearing from my photographer for the first time!!, I'm conducting band rehearsals, I'm playing in band rehearsals, I'm playing in concerts, I'm attending bridal showers, I'm painting ceramics, I'm getting into fender-benders (don't even ask me about that one! stupid screw scratches in my bumper!), I'm getting my hair cut, I'm attending meeting after meeting after meeting, I'm babysitting (adults no less...grrr....), I'm figuring out how to arrange furniture at the reception, I'm rewiring the auditorium lights and mapping them, I'm making phone calls trying to organize all these things, I'm volunteering time to help at the snack shack at track meets, I'm attending first communion celebrations, I'm logging RSVP's for the wedding, I'm...
BUSY!!
'nuff said.
I'm also reading the blogs of people who actually take the time to blog...and I found this. I think I have students who would like to hire this guy to help them play the flute!!
Tomorrow is meetings with the Reverend and the organist. I think I am supposed to have a NVCB band rehearsal and the HS coffee house somewhere in there as well...
BUSY!!

wow...
Ok...so I haven't written in a while.
I've been very busy.
We've been doing wedding stuff...house stuff...life stuff.
Lotsa stuff.
We signed our purchase and sales agreement today. Lots of signing and initialing.
This is vacation week. It's half over. :-( ::sniff sniff::
I promise I will write more.
I swear.
Well, I'll try...
I think I will...
Maybe...

poor neglected blog
aww...poor blog! I have ignored you! I didn't mean it, I swear!
I have been busy (sorta)
Last Saturday was spent with the NVCB. A parade and two concerts (including the YDDB), my lips were DEAD at the end of the night!!!
Sunday the boy and I went to church at Groveland Congregational Church, where we are going to have our wedding ceremony.
Monday I worked around the apartment for a bit, then went to the last yoga class until August. :-(
Tuesday was spent around the house, where I made a REALLY yummy tuna salad. It was totally different than normal tuna salad. It's mostly rice. Try it! It's good and light for a summer dinner! (easy to make too)
Wednesday the boy and I went to Cambridge to visit Greg (who was house-sitting for an aunt) and his gf Debbie. It rained lightly off and on for most of the afternoon, but we still had fun. In between the showers we grilled up some "rollers and sliders" as John would call them. That's hotdogs and hamburgers in case you were wondering. We also got some frisbee in, until Debbie threw it over the fence....we got it back, but the rain stopped us from continuing. :-)
We played Nintendo Wii - my arm was SORE the next day!! (btw - I STINK at Wii baseball, I'm pretty good at bowling and golf) Then we played some cards, which was a lot of fun. We ended up watching the fireworks from an upstairs bedroom (all four of us were crammed around one window, it was hilarious) because it was still raining at fireworks time, and we didn't feel like getting soaked.
We spent the night in Cambridge (and BOY was my stomach sorry that morning) and we took the T back home. We came home and spent the rest of the day hanging out in the apartment, napping and watching TV.
Friday (finally caught up to today) I am still trying to clean up and organize around here. I bought a shelf (nothing special) for the kitchen so I can put some of my appliances on it so that they are more accessible. I made a kick butt pizza for dinner. I used Pillsbury pizza dough, and made a pepperoni and chicken garlic sausage pizza. We had some pepperjack cheese that I grated onto the pizza with the mozzarella. It was yummy!
I've also been crocheting a lot too. I can't post the picture of my latest creation until I give it to the person tomorrow (I don't wanna ruin the surprise). The other things I am working on I can't put on the blog either, because I am making some gifts, so I can't put them online without giving away the surprise of it. If you email me, I'll show you pics (as long as YOU'RE not the one I'm making it for!!) ;-)
Tomorrow I'm heading up to to York to see my aunt, stopping at my mom's on the way to drop off/pick up some stuff. It should be a fun day! :-)

ugh....
ok...it's been a while...let's play catch up!!
**Memorial Day weekend was a busy one! Thursday night the boy and I drove out to Newburgh, NY to the Day's Inn to meet up with family for my brother's graduation from West Point Academy. Friday morning was a big parade, we spent the rest of the day resting, and eating and hanging out. Saturday was the graduation ceremony with Dick Cheney speaking for a looooong time. It was fun though. We hung out at the 1949ers club for the afternoon with a couple of other families. Then we went out to dinner at a Japanese restaurant, where they make the food on the hibachi in front of you. We drove back on Sunday, and the boy and I went out to Piccolino's in Shirley for yummy food. Monday was spent with the NVCB for the concert in Harvard.
**The week after that was a long one. Meetings, lessons, students, rehearsals, concert, and classes.
**Friday afternoon my aunt came by with a band of family. She was dropped off with me to check out the quilt shop in Boxborough, and then we went to the farm stand down the street. We spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out at the apartment catching up with each other. Some more family stopped by on the way up to York and picked her up. Then I headed to my mom's house where I spent the weekend. Saturday was my other brother's graduation from high school. It was very long and very sunny, and I am very sunburnt. We spent the afternoon with family at my mom's, which was a lot of fun to do. We all caught up with each other's lives, which is hard to do, since we're all so busy. I got to play with my cousin's babies. I swam with Tyler in the pool...his diaper swelled up to the size of a small elephant. The boy joined us , and all of us cousins went out to the movies to see "Knocked Up". HILARIOUS!!! YOU HAVE TO GO SEE IT!!!!! I cried I was laughing so hard. Sunday was my grandfather's memorial service, which was VERY hard for everybody, but it was nice.
**Today was the last day of the rotation for my classes. The students put together some great projects. (of course there are some who didn't, but there always are) We had an extra jazz band rehearsal (at the students' request - isn't it great??) and I bought the students pizza since we only have one more rehearsal until the concert next week.
There...I think that catches us up. Eventually, some day, I will post pictures of the various graduations. I am in the process of editing the video from the West Point graduation. This time of year is VERY busy!!!

tag...I'm it!
I've been meme tagged by Kelly!
BOOKS!
Hardback or paperback: It doesn't matter to me...whichever one the book I want to read is published in
Amazon or brick and mortar: This one is tough...I can spend hours in either place...
Barnes & Noble or Borders: Hmmm.....Borders is closer to me, but I like the coffee at B&N better
Bookmark or dog ear: I like to use a bookmark, because (like Kelly) I feel really bad when I bend the pages down
Alphabetize by author, alphabetize by subject, or random: That would require organization....who do you think you are talking to here???
Keep, throw away or sell: keep...again...getting rid of things would requre some sort of organization...I keep EVERYTHING!
Keep the dust jacket or toss it: How could you throw that away? It's part of the book!
Short story or novel: novel
Collection (same author) or anthology (different authors): I guess it's both. I have a lot of books by the same authors (JK Rowling, William Martin, Michael and Jeff Shaara), but I also have a lot of anthologies (Baseball, Civil War)
Harry Potter or Lemony Snicket: I will have to say Harry Potter, since I have never read Lemony Snicket.
Stop reading when tired or at chapter breaks: when I get tired, I read until the next chapter break.
“It was a dark and storm night” or “once upon a time?”: definitely both!
Buy or borrow: buy...again...why return anything when you can squirrel it all away in corners of the apartment for the boy to trip over and curse at??
New or used: both
Buying choice: if something new comes out by a favorite author, or whatever looks good
Tidy endings or cliffhangers: My books need to end...I despise cliffhangers...I've already pre-ordered the next Harry Potter book from Amazon, because I can't wait to find out what happens!!!
Morning reading, afternoon reading, or nighttime reading: Nighttime reading
Stand-alone or series: both
Favorite series: I love Harry Potter, and I also own all the Winnie the Pooh books (you're not alone Kelly!)

oh the joy...
Being the first "weeknight" of February vacation....I am basking in the joy of not having to wake up at the butt-crack of dawn tomorrow morning!
Tonight was a rehearsal of the YDDB...of which there hasn't been in many months...
I haven't looked at this music in a while...and I am ashamed to say I was underpracticed...but I still had a lot of fun. Both Steve and myself had arranged some songs for the group to play which we took a look at tonight. I think both went well. He arranged "Just A Closer Walk with Thee", and I arranged "Clarinet Marmalade" (talk about opposite ends of the musical spectrum).
The boy came along and listened (I think he was bored to tears for most of the rehearsal...I told him to bring along his trumpet). However, we both had a lot of fun at the end of rehearsal. John's homemade brew was DELICIOUS!!! We imbibed in many a glass...nut brown ale and New Castle....mmmmm.....(Peter would be proud)
I have learned that it was not just in my imagination....there is a certain member of the group who seems to look at me more often than not. I didn't mention anything before or after rehearsal to the boy, and as a matter of fact, he actually mentioned it to me first. In a way I am glad to know it's not just in my head, but I am also skeeved out to find out that it's not just in my head at the same time... (the guy is old enough to be my father...and then some...)
eeeew
Yesterday was Yangtze River buffet night...mmmmmmmmmm......
Today was lunch/dinner (linner? lupper?) with the boy's family, whom we met up with in Braintree for a lovely meal at JJ something-or-others. I had a personal pizza (2 slices left for tomorrow, woohoo!), with peppers and pineapple (they ran out of ham....who runs out of ham???). I also had some Blue Moon....yummy!!!
Anyhow...I am looking forward to the week's vacation, and I assure you that I will have more entries in the blog too keep you apprised of all the details.

Back after a loooong hiatus
1 new hard drive, a new battery, and a new power cord later....
I AM BACK!!!!!!!
My computer is practically brand new now...
I didn't have to pay for the new pieces (it was covered under my warranty), but I should send them my cell phone bill for the 5+ hours I have spent on the phone with them...ugh...
Where should I start????
Christmas was great, New Year's was great, the first week back to school was looooooooooong.
I have started the loooooong task of the musical....auditions were this past Wed/Thurs. Call-backs are on Tuesday. The show is March 16-18...ask me for info and join in the fun of...

100th post!!
woohoo! 100th post!!
Anyways,
tomorrow the Harvard Town Band is playing at the Whitney Field Mall at 7:30...come see us!!
I went to Fashion Bug yesterday to buy a gift card for someone else's Christmas present, and I walked out with a bunch of clothes for myself!! Ugh...
I also thought it would be a good idea to go to Walmart...yeah, I was wrong on that one too.....WAAAAAY TOO BUSY!!!!! I stood in line (behind a student and his mom) for over 15 minutes!! At least I had someone to talk to while waiting in the line!
So my advice to you is....
STAY THE HECK OUT OF WALMART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
