Neglecting

So sorry I’ve neglected you, sweet blog. And lied to you about posting about my wedding. I promise I’ll get to it soon! I’m so busy with our Spring Vocal that’s coming up this Saturday and with a surprise that our humongous PowerPoint for my online world lit class is due next week instead of four weeks from now. I guess I’d better get on that.

Today is A&A day but I figured since I’ve neglected this long why not neglect this day too! Not really. But I really won’t be doing one today.

Since I’m not doing that I guess I’ll tell you how my week has been and what I’m doing now.

Tuesday afternoon I came home and took a super long nap. Like a four hour one. I guess that’s a sleep. Anyway, I woke up and felt really sick. I was sick all afternoon and part of the night. It was awful. Poor Jason didn’t even want to be around me so I stayed in our room watching Scrubs on Netflix but when that got to be too loud for my stomach I had to turn it off and lay in silence willing the nausea to go away. It didn’t work.

I woke up Wednesday feeling better but afraid that I would get sick at school so I stayed home and slept the rest of it off. I ate a little and felt better. Jason went to the store and got me ice cream and Dr. Pepper. 🙂 By the time 7 pm rolled around last night I was starving so I finally ate some pizza and watching a lot of episodes of House. Jason fell asleep in the chair next to me but I wasn’t even tired. All the episodes of House in our DVR were played out and I was so bored I couldn’t think of anything to do but go to bed. But I couldn’t sleep. Finally, after 5 games of Solitaire, rest found me.

I got up for school this morning and felt humongous. Blahhhh. I went to class and felt pretty good. My voice lesson had to move into the big gap I had in my day which only left me a few minutes to eat lunch before 5. After class, I had rehearsal for aforementioned Spring Vocal. Luckily, (for the record, I don’t believe in luck, just using it as one of those words like however, therefore, you know, grammar) my duet was up first so I got to leave after that. Woo.

After that, a little retail therapy at the local Goodwill to get costumes for the Spring Vocal and maybe a couple of things unrelated to that. 🙂 Shhh.. don’t tell Jason.

As of now, I’m watching reruns of the office and cooking marinated chicken and roasting veggies in the oven and making rice pilaf out of a box. Don’t judge.

I’d tell you what I was doing later but it’s none of your business. 🙂

FYI, I’ll be taking a hiatus (like I haven’t already) on the blog for parts of next week. I’ll be working on that darned PowerPoint that snuck up on me and tried to slash my Achilles’ heel. Jerk.

Lates. 🙂

Awkward and Awesome

(this is a humongous picture from my bridals of my Milkpod Studiobouquet. That’s my MawMaw’s ring hanging from it. 🙂 PS. That dress is for sale!)

I have been looking forward to this day all week. No class till noon, hanging out with my mom, and my sisters are staying with me this weekend.

April Fools.

My friend, Kait, texted me a little after 9 telling me that my 9 am class wasn’t cancelled like we all thought it was. I pulled up to the church where my mom works and her and my dad were with a group of kids waiting to leave to go to Dallas for Passion. Didn’t get to hang with her. Oh, and I lost my W-2. But my sisters are still staying with me!

Worst April Fools. Except it wasn’t a joke. It was totally for real. Blahhhh.

I’m currently hanging alone at my parents’ house until it’s time to pick up my little sister from school and then head out to my house. Husband tried hunting for my poor lost W-2 but to no avail. I kept it in my “Important Things” drawer but when I went to get it from the top of the drawer, it was gone. I’m panicking. Taxes are due ASAP and I’ve stupidly misplaced the one form I need.

Sadly, I’ll only get back like $20. It’s almost useless. But who wants to get attacked by the IRS?! Sheesh.

BUT! Today is Friday. Yesterday was Thursday. You might be saying, “Uh, duh”, but I missed awkward/awesome day. So I’m proclaiming that today, momentarily, become awkward and awesome Thu–err, Friday!

AWKWARD:

-Said text message from said friend saying my class wasn’t cancelled.
-Losing my W-2. That really isn’t awkward. It’s more like.. awful.
-While hanging up my clothes that have been lying in our bedroom floor for a week, I discovered a wet present Toonces left me. All. Over. My. Clean. Clothes. That’s more like awful, too.

AWESOME:

-Cleaning up the house a lot this morning before my  supposed only class today. I felt so accomplished.
-Not having an online quiz this week for world lit!
-Feeling pretty good about my intense music theory test on Thursday.
-Doing well in my ear training course on Wednesday. Without studying.
-This weekend!

Hoping your Friday has gone better so far for you,
Melody.

Awkward and Awesome

It’s Thursday! As my sister so eloquently put it: “The leading tone to Friday”. (Such a musician.) And (I hope) you know what that means. It’s awkward and awesome day! Weeeee. Let’s begin.

 

AWESOME:

-I. RAN. Today. I ran! For 30 minutes. I’m using the Couch to 5k app. I did the first day over a month ago. But hey, I did it right?
-The weather is cool out today. It was nice walking back to the house in it from a gym with no A/C.
-I shaved my legs today. You’re welcome.
-Spent time with my mommy! (This seems to be a trend on Thursdays, doesn’t it?)
-Hubs finally got new basketball shoes! Thanks bro-in-law Josh!

AWKWARD/AWFUL:

-I ran today. It hurt, okay? (This is under awful. Duh.)
-Everyone asking me if I’m pregnant because I stayed home sick two days this week. Hello!?
-Basketball commentators in March Madness using really awkward explanations of plays.
-Awkward is hard to type.

Awkward and Awesome

Today is Thursday! Do you know what that means?

AWKWARD AND AWESOME DAY! Weeeeee.

Today’s been a pretty good week. To tell you the truth, it’s kind of difficult to come up with lists of things because my days are so short. I go to school with the same people in the same classes and then I come home and watch Golden Girls. No. That isn’t a joke.

AWKWARD:
-Being the first one stopped in a construction zone and having to avoid eye contact with the person holding the sign.
-Not being able to tell our choir accompanist’s dry humor from his seriousness.

AWESOME:
-Having my latest class cancelled on Tuesday and Thursday this week.
-Because of said cancellation I was able to have lunch with my mommy and the church staff again!
-Having a really good voice lesson despite my exhaustion from singing Handel’s Messiah for an hour and a half just before.

Mexican coke and hot sauce at the restaurant we discovered today!

Santana’s. It’s connected to a gas station. 🙂

Next week, Brother Bruce, our pastor, said we’re going to Napoli’s, an Italian restaurant, in downtown!

What was your day like?

Awkward and Awesome

ALMOST forgot about this post today. It’s been so crazy! I have an audition at UT Tyler tomorrow so I’ve been preparing for that and stressing out about how much attention our house need. And how much quiet time I need. Honestly, I’m not really excited for this audition. I’m prepared. I still just don’t feel that magical orb of whatever that makes me gravitate towards this school. I don’t really know what I’m gravitating toward at the moment actually. So, if you think about it, sneak a prayer in for me!

SO! On to the awkwardness…

AWKWARD:
-Was sitting in the music building alone and saw a guy-with no one around- throw his binder at a helpless squirrel. I was so. angry.
-Only eleven out of 25 people showed up to class today. We still had class.

AWESOME:
-Our choir teacher invited the girls choir over to his house for lunch instead of class! Hello nachos, fruit salad, pink lemonade, and coffee ice cream!
-Talking for an hour and a half with friends at said lunch
-Husband encouraging me and hugging me through a bad afternoon

 

So, how awkward/awesome was your day?
