Tuesdays

My tuesdays are one of my favorite days of the week for many reasons...I know every Tuesday, without fail I get to see my wonderful boyfriend for dinner and then I get to go off to rehearsal and play my lil heart out for about two hours.

We usually do the same few things for food no matter when it is we eat: Subway (tonight's choice), Ruby Tuesday's for the sit-down ambience, Pizza from the really good pizza place on Woodbury and South Oyster Bay Roads, or to mix it up sometimes McDonalds or Wendy's.

In discussion last night (as we talk about food and our days and how much I love him usually) Stephen asked if I wanted to go to McDonalds....NEW SHREK TOYS! however I'm trying to be really good---celery for lunch two days in a row this week!!! SO Subway it is. So filling, so few calories...so many vegetables. I always say, "I'm gonna try something new!" stand at the counter and stare off to the boards for a few minutes and order the same thing. I'm a very boring and typical person. Its truly sad.

I stay at work late on Tuesdays, trying to get work done (HA!) or practicing. Today, I'm writing here. We're about a week or so into me having a blog, and I think so far I'm doing pretty good with it! I love being able to write freely and knowing none of my friends will come back with sarcastic comments and perhaps a stranger will come along and get a chuckle out of my life. I think its also therapeutic for me. I need that these days. It's almost like a lil piece of me that no one knows right now. I haven't even told Stephen about this, he'd probably go "a what!?" and then tell me its good therapy. I need therapy sometimes...and too often I think I can use him for that, which isn't fair for him because all I feel like I do is complain and whine and bother him sometimes. He's so good to me, and all I can do is focus on the negative. I'm hoping that this will help me re-connect with all the good going on.

Speaking of Christmas...WHAT!? I finished shopping for Stephen last night, even got thigns wrapped! I'm so good. turns out that the slanket I ordered for my mom will probably not be delivered for at least 2 months...I'll cancel that and look elsewhere for something else. Ordered my dad's gift yesterday and now its just my brother and secret santa gift.

the concert is coming along...the beginners are driving me nutty, we'll see how tomorrow's jazz rehearsal goes and the MS band is coming along nicely! I'm still amazed that I think they'll be able to pull it off. I re-filed my OLAS info today, so I guess that's the start of my job search for the fall. I had a long talk today with one of the Pastors from here and I think that it helped me sort a few things out. Dave's a nice guy who is young and just starting his family. Still makes me laugh that I go to Islander games with a Pastor! Back to the point...or the tangent of the point, I talked to Dave for a while and I told him about me wanting to look for a new job and why. He doesn't want to see me go, but knows that's how it is and its gonna be. If I do find something, I don't know how I'm gonna tell Larry or anyone around here. I feel like I was so welcomed and so at home, and if I leave, I almost feel like it will be a hard choice for me to make. I wish teh money was better ehre and I could stay here until I really had it or something more administrative like came along. Not gonna be the case though. More on the job at another time.

I suppose that I should go get some REAL work done now. I'll post again soon, and if you have stumbled upon this,I hope you stumble back again soon! Please also feel free to leave replies (nice things only or help!)! Take care!
