  • New Guitar

    I have wanted to learn to play guitar for years. There was a time when I was about 22 that I bought one and started to teach myself. I learned about four commonly used chords, a few strumming techniques, and then applied them to about 10 different praise and worship songs at church. My goal at the time was to play for the youth choir that I was leading at church. I played for them a few times, but I never really got very good at it. If there’s one thing I’m sure of, you can’t really play any instrument…

  • Hello Kitty Online

    Not only am I completely wild about Hello Kitty, but I am also an MMO nerd. So, what could be better than a Hello Kitty MMORPG??? Nothing!! The Hello Kitty Online game is currently in closed Beta testing, and I can’t wait for it to be released to the public! At SanrioTown, they are holding a contest for who can make the best Hello Kitty Online Trailer using their promotional photos and music. Since I haven’t played the game yet, I don’t know how great of a trailer I can make, but I am sure as heck going to try…

  • Routine

    I have never really been a person who sticks to routine very well. Sure, I think that I crave routine, as most people do. I am constantly trying to put together schedules and color-coded versions of my calendars. I always think that a daily schedule filled with routine is the answer to all of my shortcomings. Maybe that is true, but I still find it hard to actually follow and stick to a routine. Just when I’d gotten into the habit of a Jazzercise morning with writing to follow, I went home for five days and now it’s all gone…

  • Home Again

    My trip yesterday was really nice. Barely any traffic. Nice Weather. A really good audio book. No speeding tickets :p. I got here in record time, honestly. Of course, gas prices suck no matter how you look at it, but I have a feeling that is only going to get worse as we move into the summer. It’s definitely the most expensive trip I’ve made home in a long time, but it’s worth it to see my family. Tonight, my brother and his wife and I are going to take their boat out on the Ocmulgee River, which should be…

  • Going Home for a Few Days

    I didn’t get a chance to post yesterday, and I’m afraid that this week may be a bit inconsistent. I am driving home today to Georgia to visit with my family and to watch my former students in a musical. I might find time to write up a few posts on my laptop, but you never know. I hope that the drive goes easy today and that I make it home safely and in good time. One thing that always makes the ride more enjoyable is listening to audio books. A few weeks ago I picked up a paperback book…

  • My Blanket

    As a child, I was never really the kind to hold onto one item like a blanket or a pacifier. Sure, I had stuffed animals, but there wasn’t really anything that I couldn’t live without. I remember that my cousin K had this yellow blanket that she would NEVER let go of. I’m talking years and years of addiction here. She wouldn’t sleep without it. She would not go in the car without it. She would scream bloody murder if you took it away from her. Eventually her parents got her out of the habit, but it took many years…
