Sorry, have to go somewhere else to actually see them!

Administrivia, administrivia, administrivia. My husband wrote a cool finance software so I can enter enter enter data data data. Ok, I think I've been doing it too long tonight!

I had a great day - violin student did well, lunch with friend Meg and one of the coolest sister's ever, visited Beverage Emporium, had a friend Sara P. over for tea, and sorted papers and entered data.

We're MOVING!!!
Not far - to the Belhaven area. It's an apartment that, like this place has lots of windows, is 2-bedroom and central AC (good, but not excellent). UNLIKE this place, we will be on the first floor (much easier for moving the piano!), close to Cal's work and my music jobs, closer to our peer group, closer to church, have hardwood floors, and allowed to have a dog!! AND we will be several MILES from the train (as opposed to 20 feet from a train intersection where we get woken up by the horn!)

Unlike our current place we will be living in the same town as the rest of my family - isn't that cool? Car registration and insurance will go up, sadly. And actually we'll actually be a couple miles further from my family. But maybe if I'm in an interesting place like Belhaven Heights, and not just same-old-on-the-way-to-everything, they might stop by!! j/k, halfway. lol. I plan to see them just as much as living here, however. So, there are some sad things, some losses, by moving, but I think the gains will be greater, and it will be a better fit.

Why do I sense boredom in the neighbourhood? See, this is why I don't post to Xanga. I'm entirely too exhausted to make sense. And my generation doesn't read it! :smile: We use old-fashioned email.

Nobody's there

Hello nobody! Just thought I'd write and say "hi" since you're the only one out there now. Guess they all gave up . . . so sad . . . well . . . we'll just have a party, you and me . . .

I'm back!!

Hello my dear, long-lost friends. I didn't realize it had been quite so long since I'd posted!! Ah, goodness. Time has really flown since we got back from Florida! So I'm not going to try and catch up all at once . . . bit by bit. :) But I wanted to mention that I sent an email with a school project some kids are doing that I got from my sister-in-law. Not a big deal. But it might be interesting . . . thot I'd help them out anyway, so hope it doesn't bug you guys!

Cheers!

Ok, ok!

Hmm, somehow I knew I would get reprimanded for not posting :)

I appreciate the comment, Natalie -it makes me feel like someone might have missed me. :)

Even though I have no exciting interesting teenage things to put up.

Speaking of teenage years, random, I enjoyed mine, especially the year in Japan, and I also enjoy having them 7 years behind me! I'm glad you guys enjoy yours, some of the time anyway.

Florida was good. Better than expected. I can't say "fun" - though there were fun parts. Some of it was hard work. Some of it was heartbreaking in various ways, but all of it was good. "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, he saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18 And some of it was hilarious fun - Sea World . . . soccer! It's funny, I didn't really want to go to FL, but afterwards I didn't want to come back!

Soccer! I just have to say is the best sport in the world. (Sorry, basketball fans, it just can't hold a candle to soccer!) I played 4 times in the 2 weeks we were there, more than I've played in the past 8 months!

Sea World!! Ah, how to tell. Someone had given us free tickets! I would so love to have taken you all along. I even went on the roller coaster even though I don't like them. But it was an impressive one, and I had to have the experience. It cost me a tension headache, which I had till I drank the free glass of beer. But the dolphins, whales and sea lions were my favourite. (A different exhibit for each) Dolphins the most fun and playful, whale the most impressive and sea lions (plus walrus!) the most hilariously funny.

Well, it's time for bed - goodnight!

Wow, how awesome is that?!! - come back to xanga after a CRAZY busy several days and there are actually comments!!

Random: our Christmas tree is still up. I just like it too much to take it down when not even a month has gone by since Christmas!! I'm sitting here enjoying the Christmas tree lights and rambling again . . . Cheers!

practicing practicing practicing practicing

now, I'm wondering why I can't do this (font and style variations) when I post comments on someone else's site. I'm using firefox, and the keyboard shortcuts for such things only work if one is using internet explorer

. . . . plug for firefox - it's much more secure than internet explorer, people don't know how to hack it as well . . . much better . . .

but I should be able to vary my fonts even with firefox by using html code . . . hmmm.

Ok, typing in raw html!! ok, so I copy-pasted some of the code into another window so I could check myself. But I"m still typing it in raw!! And memorizing it! I get a kick out of new languages, mark-up or otherwise!!
