I Can See Clearly Now

Friday, July 27th~

This looks so gloomy, but it actually puts out a nice soft light.

It's amazing how much one appreciates light and a breeze when one has had to do without! The fixture looks as wonderful as I thought it would. Tonight Jason's band plays at my favorite little bar, but I'll be home with Juju. As much as I would like to go, I also am okay with having some alone time. Maybe I'll even bead something!

Movies

Friday, June 8, 2012-

Juju pretending to be an "oarfish". What an imagination!

Jason's got a show tonight. I've got a tired kid and a stack of movies to watch before we leave Monday. I'm tempted to add movie reviews to my blog, but then I think about how I seldom see movies that are current or relevant in any way.

Saturday Night

from May 26, 2012~

@ Barley Mow

As great as the week has been for Julian... Jason and I definitely needed some grown ups only time! His band had a show Saturday night and my in-laws were down for a Juju sleepover, so we both got to go. He started the evening hitting Long John's and setting up. I started with appetizers, moscato wine and travel stories and photos with girlfriends. We got there not too long after the band started. I got a flight that went from deep Cocoa Beach Oatmeal Stout to North Coast Red Seal to a Widmer Hefeweizen and ended with a Florida Avenue IPA. I love going all over the place when I'm sampling. Lots of people came out so there was never a lack of good conversation. The band did well. Met some of Jason's co-workers. It was just a nice night out!

Woulda, Coulda

Wednesday, May 23rd~

I knew yesterday I needed to go over music for practice tonight. I knew it and just put it off and figured it would be okay because I have an ear for harmony and can usually just hop in pretty quickly. Somehow between the gym and practice time, my brain decided to forget how to do that. It was pretty embarrassing. Nothing like trying to find your notes with a microphone right next to your mouth! I did let it drop during the worst parts. I'm just feeling annoyed because I love music practice and it's usually a very happy time for me and I wrecked it for myself by not being prepared. Still today was better than yesterday...

Taking Care

from Wednesday, April 4, 2012~

Think we are just about ready for Easter! He's practicing his pixie stick technique. I could use a sugar rush about now. Today was full and it was mostly good stuff, but tonight I find myself just drained. We were in band practice until close to 10 pm so that's a big part of it. The rest is emotional, I think. I'm very up and down lately. It's late nights, poor food choices, and just a lot on my heart and mind. Think I need to pray more and take care of myself a little better.

Colossians 4:2 "Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart."
