December Wishes
Hey Guys,
How are y'all doing? I'm doing just fine.
How was your fall? Mine was okay. I'll be the first to admit that this wasn't my best fall ever. All I can do is learn from the mistakes I have made, and try for a better fall next year.
I didn't get much of a chance to enjoy the colors of the leaves changing, which is disappointing on my part. That is something I like to enjoy each year, so I definitely feel like I missed out. Snow keeps coming and going, yet it doesn't seem to be staying at all. Hopefully it hurries up and decides to stay before too long. I like to ski, so it's understandable why I feel this way. Ooh... but I will be trying snowboarding (at some point) this winter!! I am excited. I like to try or learn new things. It would be fairly boring to go through life, if I didn't. Talking of learning, I have learned so much at my workplace!! I learned how to mix paint, and (most recently, and not at all well yet) print deer licenses. I love working. This job is my first, and I am grateful for it. The atmosphere is easy to work in, and I have AMAZING co-workers. Sometimes they can be a pain to work with, but then again... it could be worse. Most important of all, my boss. He is the coolest, and quite possibly one of the nicest bosses I'll have while I am working by employers. Once I graduate college and all, I am hoping to be my own boss. It's not that I don't enjoy working for someone, because that's not the case at all. I just find it would be nice to set my own schedule, rates, and be an awesome boss for others. To be able to travel, helping others.
Anyways, somehow I managed to get WAY off-course for my reason for posting today. I wanted to announce my wishes for this December. My birthday is coming up on the 20th. This year, I don't wish for any gifts. This year, I wish just to be surrounded by my friends and family. You all are the greatest gift I have received. I would feel terrible for requesting more than what you all have already provided me with. So many go through life alone. Yet, I am gifted through a grand abundance of loved ones. So, thank you all. I cannot begin to express how grateful I am, as I feel words cannot even begin to show how much.
Hugs to all!!!
Thanks again,

Orchestra Fun... :D
Hey Everybody!
How are you guys? I am well. Are you all enjoying the start of fall? I know I am. The leaves are changing into beautiful shades of orange, red, and yellow. Although, it is getting really chilly at night (I am not too fond of the cold). Oh well, I have tried to make it outside, but I have been quite involved in work, school, orchestra, etc. to do so.
Talking of what often keeps me preoccupied, orchestra started back up!! I am so excited. I love orchestra, so much! My conductor always seems to pick some really interesting pieces, to say the least. Last winter, we had some Beethoven pieces. They were fun, don't get me wrong, but they were also a pain to learn. This year, we have a fun piece to learn called 'Remote Control'. The piece is fun to imagine a scenario to try and imagine while you are playing it.
I like to imagine this:
There is this impatient, little, old guy sitting in a couch with his feet propped up. He is almost bald, and has a bit of a beard. He has a half-eaten meal on one side of him, and a box of tissues to the other. He's wearing overalls, and a red/black plaid shirt. He is in this terrible mood as he flips on the TV. Impatiently, he scans what's on. He finds nothing to his liking. He flips the stations, pauses, fast forwards through shows, and mutes these shows. He's just absolutely ticked as he flips through the stations faster and faster, then finally finds one to his liking as the show on that station ends.
Fun, eh? Trust me, there are a lot more you can make up for this song. Anything from cats, to grumpy old men can make this song even more fun. The only thing that I disagree with this song, is the fact that I OF ALL PEOPLE have to sing. Yup, me. There are parts from the Broadway show 'Mamma Mia', that our conductor has everybody on the 'outside chair' (see below) in the orchestra singing. He has the people on the inside chair plucking their strings. You can only imagine that I am hopeful for the inside chair at our concert. Oh well, I am practicing both the plucking and the singing. As always, though, I am attempting at having as much fun as humanly possible while doing it. :)
Talk to you all later,

Hello Cold Weather!!!!
Hey Guys!
How are you? I am doing quite well.
How was your summer? Mine went pretty well.
I located a job this summer. At a hardware store. I know, I know, it doesn't seem like the first place a girl would go looking for a job. I have really enjoyed my time there, though. I have learned a LOT about hardware. Though, I'll be the first to admit, I am far from knowing an efficient amount about any of it. I did get to mix ten gallons of paint yesterday! And load 15 bales of straw! And carry four 40 pound bags of water softener salt! So, everything is going seemingly well. I've come to meet quite a few interesting people while I have been working at the store. Though, being one of the only girls working at the store, I have become butt of many jokes. Self-control is something that works quite nicely in a job like this. Haha! If I didn't have it, I probably wouldn't still have this job. It has it's good points, and it's bad points, I guess. In the end, though, doesn't everything?
Cold weather has finally come!! I don't know about you guys, but I missed it while it was away. It seems like it is never here long enough! I enjoy all that the winter brings with it. Christmas, skiing, and starting snowball fights. Curling up in fluffy blankets, with a cup of coffee, and a good book on cold nights. Mmm... so many good things come in the winter. ♥
Thanks for reading!!
