Long time, no blog

WOW! John was right - it HAS been a long time since I last blogged.



Lots of happenings, just not a lot of desire to write about them as most of it I don't have a lot of good things to say and I didn't want this to be a "piss & moan" blog.

Way back in September, I helped put together (basically put it all together) a "tea and tarot" fundraiser for campus radio. It was a much better success than I ever expected - since we had only sold 6 tickets before the doors opened, and I was actually thinking of cancelling it, ANYTHING had to be a better success than that, and it was! We sold all but 4 tickets in the end and I truly beleive every who came was glad they did!

I helped me on a great many levels and really re-confirmed a few things that had been niggling at me, so I'm glad in the end it happened.

I would love to do one again - maybe in February to break up the "winter blahs", but we'll have to see - we definitely needed more readers...we were suppossed to have 4 readers, but only 3 showed up. The next time I would expand it to a "Divination and Desserts" and have multiple types of readings available.

They hired a new ops manager at work. On so many levels I 'm conflicted, but mainly happy that they have. I can concentrate on 10 things instead of 20 things and I am no longer the immediate superior of my husband. Hopefully that will make things better for the both of us and the company as a whole because people were not going the proper channels if there were issues and that rather pissed me off.

I agreed to accompanying a 100 voice choir for a sepcial concert held Nov. 19th - a fundraiser for Alzheimers. At first I agreed to just the choir music, then it expanded to all groups and soloists, then it was pared back again to just the choir and one group - suited me ust fine as it was the most amount of performing I had done in about 5 years. While I didn't really enjoy the 6 week committment, I did enjoy the performance itself - my first on the Imperial Theatre's stage here in SJ. a Great instrument!

I also agreed to playing for the community choir that one of the owners directs because she had tried 6 other people already and none of them worked out well. I know most of the people in the choir, so that's cool, but I do think we spend entirely too much time together in and out of work! :P

I took Thursday and Friday off last week and went to the states Black Friday shopping - my first time...very cool...would do it again in a heartbeat, but I would only do the first part off the day and not go back out again, no matter what any of the others wanted to do. Good deals and lots of Christmas presents were bought!

I even bought the coolest baby onsie - a Black Label Society onesie for Baby Sweet!!! teeheehee While I know it's bad luck, I coudln't help myself - I've never seen it in Canada, and it was just too me and Rocker-baby to pass up!

I still am going to accupuncture and physio and getting progression in dregrees still - measured 35 degrees Nov. 2 at Physio, so we're still making a few more degrees - YAAY!

I have to make some extra money - lots of bills now to pay and on salary, you can't make extra, so, I'm thinking of new ways to make some cash under the table to help out the finances...I"ll keep you posted.

Well, that about brings us up to date. I'll try to be better at writing here as I do think it helps. We no longer have access at work to facebook, but they haven't taken access away to blogspot yet, so I think this may be a nice way to let loose every now and then when I need a brain break :)

Hope everyone is getting in the holiday spirit!
