Hey PEOPLE!!!!

I've been so busy! I can't believe it is already DECEMBER!!! WOW! Well, how's everyone doing? Hopefully great. I hear another one of my friends is expecting ! So crazy. I just made a baby box for Betsy, with Mrs. Black's help and some other peoples money. haha. It was fun. It's cute. We got a plastic rubbermaid type box ( I'm typing this cause I know Betsy won't read this before she gets the present) and we put green fuzzy yarn around it to look like grass.With two black sparkly bows on the sides and the lid is black sparkly felt with green yarn trim. Then there are a bunch of little animals and fishes and baby stuff glued to felt so the baby ( when they get older) can stick then to the top of the box and have little stories n' stuff. We made blue for the sky, green felt for the grass, a little felt sun and moon and tree. It's pretty awesome. I got the idea from remembering those felt boards with the characters n' stuff in sunday school. So you can put all the little things inside the box. I think I'm going to patent it. haha. Anyway, I also put a little baby teething thing and some lotion and baby powder in there and then a few things for the mommy. Some lotion and chocolate and a bath salt ball thing. Anyway, as exciting as that was.

I have some students now that I can teach at the presbyterian church in town. I got a job there playing on Sundays. Pays well and I got a key to the church so I can practice ANYTIME I want ( as well as teach there) on their awesome yamaha baby grand that is in perfect tune and baldwin digital piano with all kinds of cool sounds. It's so cool.

Work at the Vine and Fig tree is going good. I like working there. It's fun. Except for some reason they all assume that I have children ( even knowing my age and what I believe) Apparently now I have , not 2 but 3 children. two daughters and one son. LOL. One lady was even going to bring me something for my son. A co-worker. I was offended. I was like " what do you think I am? seriously!" BLAH! Anyway, speaking of my workplace. Those of you that I told we'd be having a hanukkah party there, it's off. There's no party here at all. Sorry. :(

Well..... what else is new? My car is still an awesome blessing. No problems so far. ummm, I hate cats. I have ringworm from the blasted things. I shall never tough a feline again. Well, ya'll take care and Yah bless! BYE!

I hate bugs and bugs love me!

*deep breath*

wow, my life has really really changed since about June 20th.  :P Which isn't a bad thing.

My job is going great, seeming as how it looks like I'm the only reliable person left........well, pretty much the only person left. It's crazy. Anyway, the other night I was having dinner with Mrs. Black and talking. I had lost 2 auctions on eBay for 2 different pianos that I was going to buy to teach on. So I was thinking, there's a reason I didnt' get those, I wasn't supposed to have them. Then this light clicked in my head......*ding* and I said " Mrs. Black, I think it's time to go see my sister." So ya know what I did? I called my sister and said " how would you like a visitor?" and she said " how're you going to get here?" I said " walk, but I just wanna make sure I'm welcome before I get to Alabama and have to walk all the way back." So she said sure and I said  I'll have to check with my boss first. Which is silly if you think about it, I've only been working there one month and I ask for a week off.......but my reputation is good there so I figured I"ll nicely ask and if he says no, I'm not supposed to go, if he says yes, then I will go. And when I asked him he said " sure, just go write it on the calendar." :P So then I went home and bought a ticket. So I'm going to FL in two weeks! YAY!!! :)

I've got 3 students for sure now, possibly 7. And life is just great. Sure, I'm living paycheck to paycheck right now and I just spent a couple hundred on an airplane ticket which sounds really stupid if you think about it ( but I will have enough to pay bills n' stuff and I think it's Yah's will that I go now)

Oh, I had a conversation often had with my older brother the other night about keeping in contact and letting us know how he's doing and what he's up to and caring what we're up to and not being selfish, etc.. etc.. He got mad at me, I got mad at him. But then I told Mrs. Black about it and so we prayed a quick little prayer. And yesterday morning he sends me this text message saying he's sorry and he loves me and hopes I'm having a good day!! Naturally I think, someone must've gotten a hold of his phone, cause he NEVER apologizes or says I love you!! So I called him and asked him and sure enough he did send that and he apologized on the phone too. It was amazing. He said the reason was because the guy he lives with listens to Joel Osteen everyday and he was listening too and Joel Osteen started talking about being happy and not making people mad. Those of you who know who he is, that's his normal pep talk really. He more of a motivational speaker than a preacher. Anyway, then he said " and you guys need to call up your family every now and then and let them know what you're up to, cause they really do care." That is EXACTLY what I was telling my brother. So he said that doesn't happen everyday so he decided to call and apologize. Isn't that AWESOME?! Crazy how much better prayer affects people than beating them over the head with your opinion and griping them out. Anyway, I need to go to work now. Y'all take care and Yah bless!!
