Well, March slipped by pretty fast, and April is quickly on it's way out. I'm really excited about school starting up next month, but didn't think time would pass that fast. So how have I been filling my days? Well, work takes up a lot of my time. Gonna be fixing that real soon. As soon as school starts, I will be going to part-time. It will be very different. I've been out of college for so long, and been working full-time, that I kinda got used to always having a paycheck. I'll still have a paycheck, but it will be much smaller. Ah well. It'll all be worth it in the end. I'm about to do what I've been wanting for 10 years. But I digress. Back to my time fillers, such as they are. :-)
In March, a friend and I took a road-trip down to Laredo, Texas to see a friend of ours who had moved there with her husband. And there was this one little, whole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant that had the most amazing Chicken Cordon Bleu EVER. That was the best meal I think I've ever had in a restaurant. *sigh*
Good trip overall, even though we got our car stuck in the sand at the beach. But there were some very nice men who helped push us out. ;-)
In April, I went down to see my brother and sister-in-law who live in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Wow. It's beautiful down there, with the white sand beaches. We didn't get to spend a day at the beach, but oh well. It was nice just relaxing with them and not being at work.
As far as the topic of the day is concerned, that would be my monstrous puppy, Miller. He just turned 9 months old, but is over 50 pounds. And he apparently has insomnia. In the early mornings, he will put his paws on my bed and poke me or lick me until I pay attention to him and take him out. Might I add that he wakes me up way before the alarm clock is set to go off? If I don't listen to him, he will jump in my bed and sit on top of me until I get out of bed. At this point, I usually tuck every part of me in the covers, because he will lick anything sticking out. Poo him.
And last update: I got a keyboard! Finally. Not a full-size one, unfortunately, but it will do the job. Since my beautiful, black upright is at my parent's house, I needed something to play on or I was going to go insane. And then I woke up to reality and realized just how out of practice I am. 22 years of playing, and I totally butchered the songs I tried. Apparently, it has been awhile since I played. But that's ok, we'll get back with it! That Malaguena and Moonlight Sonata and those Tchaikovsky's will be back in short order. Stay tuned.
