Where we've been

I feel it's been a little while since I last wrote.   We have been busy as usual.  I guess the most fun thing we've done in the last two weeks was go to Bookbinders for restaurant week.  Normally, a meal at such a restaurant would be expensive and we would never bother spending so much money on food but during restaurant week, you just pay a flat fee and you get an appetizer, entre and dessert. 

I have been enjoying my classes this semester so far.  The one that is the most interactive is my percussion class.  Last class I learned how to play a roll, right hand lead, play the cymbals and the methods for playing timpani.  there are only 4 people in the class so we all get a lot of help as we are learning.  He has been enjoying having me come home and practice on my drum pad with my sticks! 

Sundays are still exhausting for me.  The musical is going along quite well and I love the kids who are in it.  This Sunday, the choir sang in church and everyone said they did a great job.  I had a girlfriend who I met at school last year drive down with me Sunday morning to sing the solo in choir.  She knew that by carpooling with me she would be stuck at church all day since I have rehearsals for the musical and adult choir on Sunday afternoons but she stuck with me.  It was kind of flattering that she wanted to observe my conducting and rehearsals.  

He is doing well.  Tonight we met friends for dinner and now he is busy setting up for his "guys movie night" (of course, I will be the only girl there but I don't think I will hang with them since they will be watching a surfing movie).  I think I will work on some homework and go to bed.  I have been sleeping very lightly lately and don't know why.  Good night all!

I know why you are sleeping lightly lately......you are not working hard enough! Ha Ha. :) Maybe you could find some tree work to do.

I don't know how you sleep at all with all that noise going on from those silly kids. Ricky is going to be jealous that you are taking percusion.

I thought maybe you have percussion in your mind and that is why you can't sleep. I know when we have a show and perform, I have a hard time going to sleep. I am just too high strung I guess. I was glad to read your blog again. I check everybody's every day- sometimes several times. It's good to keep in touch.
