Real World Dreamer

Here I (sometimes) creatively compose/expose my thoughts, dreams, nightmares, and most of all my Wishful Thinking I'm so fond of contemplating.

Goin' to a Concert!

Going to see Peter Breihnholt at the Tuacahn Ampitheatre tonight with my whole fam!!! I'm psyched!! I really think the kids will like it even though they're whining about it right now - they'd rather play night games with the neighborhood kids. I think they've been spoiled this Spring Break, plus the addition of letting them stay up WAY too late! Looking forward to going back to school!
Plus I won concert tickets to go see Michael Ballam in Gianni Schicchi - the very first opera I saw (and even liked).... If St doesn't want to go (which I'm almost positive he won't) I'm taking J. If he liked the King Singer's concert (which he did), he'll like this. PLUS he'll get to meet the star of the show after - I love having the in with the star! (Plus he was probably the best college professor I had!He's an awesome, inspiring person!)

Did I mention we all got to go flying in a personal aircraft last weekend? St has a friend that took us up - had to take turns, but it was great! The boys first time up in the air. J was pretty nervous at first, but then he loved it so much he volunteered to go a second time! Good boy! Just gotta trust Mom&Pops.....

Gotta run and go get the Easter Ham....

Ciao!

It's a cold and dreary world

Well - it's very very grey outside. And it was really dumping the little mean rain drops, not the big fat juicy ones. That was upon waking up. And my poor kids had to go wait for the bus in it. I'm really glad I got the smiley face umbrella for them. We're not used to the rain here... I could use some blue skies.

It's been forever since I've written. The usual mundane business. Plus it doesn't help to depend on your cookies for your user name... cause eventually it gets erased and then you can't remember it! We had a system switch-over and I remembered most of my user names. And then I just had to find where I wrote it down.

We did have blue skies yesterday when we came out from having done Baptisms for the Dead. I took photos of the kids who were there for the first time. I was really happy to have one of girls who was there for the first time at age 14. She's had a rough few years with her parents divorcing and custody battles and dad's remarriage and becoming inactive. That's a really sad deal. Charlie enjoyed himself, I think. He kept making cracks about what if you actually had to have the dead person's body to baptise them... pretty gross thought! And he really really does not like the white briefs the boys have to wear...he's a Boxer Boy. I remember them being uncomfortable going to boxers - I don't remember why I did it? I think they wanted to?

OK - weird. From weather to briefs. I guess that's my life right now. It's all good though. I know the sun will appear again.

(I'm overhearing a conversation where I know one person is not taking the comments positively and the other doesn't quite get it. And there's nothing I can do about it. Oh, well - we'll all live through it. Takes a lot of tolerance to deal well with this world.)

K. I'm alive. Hope my head's attached enough to remember the orthodontist apt for today. Even wrote myself a note and set an alarm. Yup - I've forgotten it too many times.

I go work.

Ciao.
