Where Have I Been?

Not on my blogs and shame on me. Just trying to regroup with another school year and many obligations. Still trying to work school around stuff and stuff around school. And being lazy. And playing Wii Just Dance 3. And reading. And sitting on the couch playing Angry Birds 'til my thumbs are sore. Where you been?

• Loving my iPhone!! I should have done this earlier, but I'm glad I waited because I got a pretty good deal. I had the big girl video a dance we are learning in my hip hop class. Then I emailed it to two other ladies in my class. From my phone!!! I like being able to get online when I want to. I like being a hotspot. That puts a little extra strut in your walk right there. Loving that!! I could really get all gushy, but you already know. Love it, love it, love it!!
• The chicken pants tree is no longer. It had to be done. It has been on the honey do list since last summer. It looks really good, but I'm so sad that it's trimmed. It was our little quiet spot. Our little romantic rendezvous. Now we'll just have to find another spot. It did get rid of a ton of mosquitos and wasps, and all kinds of critters. Hubby said the mosquitos were horrible. I cannot imagine and I'm glad I wasn't home when he did it. If he had asked for help, I would have helped him because it's the right thing to do. Bugs, ugh!!
• I hurt my knee. Not hurt had to go to the doctor hurt. Hurt as in stiff when I tried to bend it. Sometimes I couldn't bend it. Wanna know how I hurt it? Just Dance 3. That damn game. But it is so much fun. I like it more than Just Dance 2, and that's saying alot. What's driving me crazy is this. I can whip just about anybody on that game. I go full out. I dance it like I was performing it. I have high scores on most of the dances. Why am I having trouble in my hip hop class? Ohmigosh, you would think I had never danced a day in my life. I stepped on my own foot the other night and almost knocked myself over! What the hell is that? I told my dance teacher I was going to bring my Wii remote and see if that helped. Driving me crazy!
• Our youth director is no more. He was let go yesterday. While I am not unhappy about the decision, I feel for his family and for whatever bonds have been formed between him and the youth. I don't want the kids to feel any sort of abandonment. They've had it hard with several leaders leaving on short notice. He will hopefully be at the Halloween party and be able to have some closure. 
• Ok, this is my blog so here comes a minute of bitching: a few weeks ago (yeah, I know, let it go, but sometimes it pops into my head and it rubs all over again), the kids were goofing off at band practice and I had to get on to them. They don't have an adult leader, so they run themselves. Most of the time it works for them. Sometimes I have to open my mouth. But that's rare. Anyway, I said, "Don't make me be the voice of reason." I meant by being the responsible one and they needed to settle down and get to work. Which they did. But a friend of mine looked at me and laughed. I was sort of offended, and kinda still am, I guess. I have the reputation of being happy go lucky, all smiles, and a party on the go. But I also have the reputation of being tough but fair, loud but loving, and the voice of reason when everyone wants to do their own thing and that's not possible. I will step in and make a decision if I have to. I think I make a pretty good leader. So, there, ha!

That's about all I have for now. It's good to be blogging again. I am inspired by my fellow bloggers that have kept at it and those that have returned to it after a short abscence. And I love the sound of my own voice. Reasonable or not.
