You know all those things you say you’ll do “later”? Well, “later” has shown up for me. BIG time. And it’s not “later” in the procrastination sense. It’s “later” in the there-was-no-way-we-could-have-done-this-earlier sense. [this is all wedding-related, by the way] Or it wasn’t quite the priority. So it’s a lot. But it will all get […]

Haste makes waste … and other musings
In our elementary music classes we study a composer each month. It’s super cool actually. It’s neat knowing that we are often these students’ very first introduction to some of the world’s greatest composers. This month we are studying Beethoven. On top of that, we learn about a musical word each week. This week it’s […]
One foot in front of the other…
…because sometimes that’s all you can do. One day at a time. One hour at a time. That’s my life right now. Working 1 1/2 jobs AND wedding planning puts you in that position. And with the little bits of time you have left? You prioritize things that are important to you. For me that […]
Be your own superhero
Sometimes we just need to be our own superhero. My future husband has really gotten me more into Marvel and DC Comics films. Like, it’s a thing. We try to see the movie the day it comes out. Even if it turns into a late night. We’ve been together through… Deadpool Civil War Dr. Strange […]
That’s why pencils have erasers…
For anyone who is keeping track of this blog, I blog on the days that I workout. That’s how I keep myself accountable. And I worked out yesterday. And did not post anything. I had something in the works. But by the end of the day I was tired and just not in the mood. […]
The importance of separation
I had a fabulous weekend. As did my fiance. We spent time with people we love. And did things we love. Michael had his Bachelor weekend in Miami and enjoyed some fancy dinners, nights out on the town, and college football (“It’s all about the U!”). Me? I indulged in […]
Just me and my cat. And wine. And Netflix. #introvert
I won’t lie. I love my nights in. On weekends especially. And this weekend? At least two weekend nights in. Woohoo! I was up at 4 a.m. to drive my fiance to the airport for his Bachelor Weekend. In Miami. Slightly jealous. Will I miss him? Of course. But I am really looking forward to […]
Like a kidney stone…
Sometimes we have our “off” days. And low moments. And ARGH. Or UGH. Or WAAAAAAH… Or W.T.F.?!?!?!?! Yup. I’ve been having a lot of those. Yes, I post lots of positive/inspiring stuff on social media. But that’s mainly in the morning to pump myself up for the day. And it’s real. I’m generally in a […]
Being a kid
I love Halloween. I’m not sure what it is about it. The excitement in the air. The kids and their costumes. The adults and their creative costumes. We had “Storybook Character Day” at school today. And then we had a little parade to participate in a school-wide walk. It was soooo much fun! The kids […]
Like a tree…
I had a private piano student ask me a very revealing question during his lesson last night. He’s a senior in high school and had commented on always being told by teachers, “This is just preparing you for __________”. In fact, my co-worker and I just had a long talk with our 5th graders about […]
