Tick-Tock

I have an internal stress clock that goes off around November 1st every year. It's chiming rather loudly right now. Seems everything falls upon the few short weekends between now and Christmas and everyone is demanding something from me.

Here's a small snippet of my schedule:
  • This Week:
    • Monday-- Basketball Game
    • Tuesday-- Band Practice
    • Wednesday -- Church
    • Thursday--Band Practice
    • Friday -- Playoffs Football Game
    • Saturday--Mom's Birthday, Wedding, Gig at a local restaurant, friends come to visit
    • Sunday--Church
  • Next few Weeks
    • Leave to go to LA on that Friday come home on Wednesday before Thanksgiving
    • December 1st--Friend's Baby shower (out of town)
    • December 9th -- Church Christmas Play (When am I going to have time to practice for that??)
Add in several basketball games a week, plus working at the YMCA, (By the way, I haven't started that YET!) 9-weeks test, Semester finals, and all the other in between things I manage to throw in. So as you can see, the countdown to Christmas is here and the clock's ticking is getting louder....can you hear it??

The Shallow Side of the Blog

I pride myself in being balanced. I'm not too liberal or too conservative. I'm not too girly nor too much of a tomboy...etc. Well today I'm throwing my balance to the wind and I'm going to be shallow. I went to the mall in search for a jersey for a friend. Well why I was there, I had to stop by a few stores and check out the clothes. I found not one, not two, but three new skirts. What's even great is that 2 of them are blue jean, and for all of you apostolic girls out there...you know how hard it is to find a good blue jean skirt. One even came with this really trendy scarf belt. I'm very excited about it! I've never noticed how much clothes I actually have. Some of the students have made the comment that I have not worn the same outfit since school started on January 3rd. What's sad, or good, is that they're right. I may have worn a skirt twice, but it was always with a different top. Somehow I still look at my closet and say, "I have nothing ...

American Idol? I think NOT!

Let it be said, American Idol is rigged! I've always thought this, but I know for sure this season, it's true! First, have you ever noticed that they pick certain people to do "stories" about. Somehow 99% of those people end up making it to the top 12. Amazing they have such an accurate record, considering that the shows choosing the top 12 is not pre-recorded? Hmmm?? Have the producers already decided who they want to be the top 12? Secondly, the whole Chris exit . Please, everyone in America wanted Chris to win. Everyone knew Chris was going to win. Personally I think there was some talking going on with him and the producers, he got a good offer and asked to be kicked. I have no proof of that, but it sounds good. I mean, come on, everyone knew Chris was going to win. This week, it was down to Taylor, Katherine, and Elliott. On Wednesday's episode of Good Morning America, they showed footage of both Taylor and Katherine, but didn't of Elliott. Did they kn...
