Sleepy friday...

Soooo I actually heard back from one of these jobs I applied for!- (Not that I don't love Barnie's) And get this to be a cello teacher! ha who knew no certification required! It is an after school music program. I think it would be an awesome job! But I am not sure if its really what I want. It's only for one hour after school everyday- (So I am thinking basically to get 5 hours you have to work 5 days a week- but they do pay a lot better....)And you get to be a cello teacher how awesome would that be- or maybe it would be a bunch of whiny kids ahhhh. Well I have an interview Monday!

I kinda missed the service group this morning.... I just love sleeping in and then drinking delicious half decaf SWC coffee and of course doing some search work. We are not going to Cape Coral as planned any more- scheduling conflicts. I hope we get to go another weekend. There over 70 names on one territory that I haven't even finished searching!

Sooo another sunny day

Oh goodness band practice again was hard. I stink at playing with other people. It is just so hard to stay on beat and know when to play. Meagan's singing sounds really good. And well I guess its coming along nicely the piano and Nina sounds great on the drums. I can't believe she learned to play the drums in like one month! We'll just have to keep practicing regularly, that should do the trick!

My mom went to MA for the weekend and my sister was at work all day and I finally got to rearrange the furniture! Ava gave me a pretty sweet bedroom set, but it just fits so perfectly one way in my room that I can't ever change it! However,  the newly formed angles and the "walls" I made by angling the couches are spectacular!! Oh I love it! Av will be soooo proud of our living room when she comes to visit! It looks like a real living room instead of an oddly shaped, empty, and hard, cold tile feel that it had before! It's amazing how angling a couch a certain way makes such a difference!

I got to work till 3 pm today!! YEAH. My bosses are getting very strange and very skinny!! too much herbalife.

I'm going to try to make a dress! I had never seen dress patterns before I went to jo anns and opened a drawer filled with instructions on how to make practically every kind of dress in the world!!! However, their fabric selection was not so good; it's tricking finding gray and white striped fabric. I might settle for something else but not yet!

Musically sloooow ears

Band practice was rather hard....But we made a lot of progress! Considering we haven't gotten together in like a month! We did OK. I think we were all getting a little frustrated. Sticking to a tempo is so hard for some people-not just you vi. I wanted to slug Ben when he tried to help me play Two Birds- the metronome just wouldn't go slow enough....Non the less his help is MUCH appreciated. But Vi's piano rendition sounded great by the end of the night! And I can't wait to hear Meagan's little angel voice singing along.

Ruby came out in service all Saturday- I love her fresh enthusiasm! We even walked into my study's house and she whispers to me "wow, it smells so good here!" Great! As I gag at the smell of cumin and curry...

here to stay!

 I couldn't do it. I couldn't give Picasso away. His big bored eyes looked up at me friday morning and just cried out "let me stay!!!" Enthusiastic internet guy was nice and said he totally understands what its like to lose a cat. (he lost his cat).....But, Sorry for getting your hopes up buddy!

Ultimate frisbee is awesome! I love it when you run so much that your lungs feel like they work really well. It feels like as much running as soccer but no broken toes!! The weather was disgusting. Rainy, hot, humid sticky, mucky, then you slide all over the grass.  But totally worth it!

This should really go in the cat blog

I finally found the perfect home for Picasso. This genius internet geek guy who rides a bike and lives in a fancy apt by Lake Eola. Yes, I am sure he will love his new home. The guy doesn't even mind that he has is balding on his back! His former cat died of old age and he is very sad from it. Mhmmm great. I think Picasso knows that something is up because he has been ridiculously cute and angelic the past couple of days he actually jumped on my bed and rubbed his nose to my nose the last night! OHH he is so cute. Yet,  I feel like I must give him away to this new home because he does not like my Mom very much and yes, he unfortunately sneaks downstairs to the far distant corner of the house and pees on her bed 3 times. So there was really nothing else I could say but I'll find him a new home..... It is just so hard because he is practically the perfect cat. I went to petsmart to get him flea medicine they said they didn't have Picasso in their computer, but they did have Dandy, Luna, Violette, Katie, Rafi, Mersadies, and Ty AHHHH I feel like an animal killer!!!!!! And my poor mom has put up with sooo many cats and kittens that I snuck in the house or LUNA the rat cat who was shipped here and tied up outside one morning.

Well on a happier note- This was an awesome day in service!! I had two amazing studies. And one of them who I wasn't sure if she really liked studying with me, after we had done one subheading, I was like OK well we can stop here and come back next week. And she was like "No no, I am free." YAY you want to learn more OK!!! But then oh nooo I haven't even prepared or even highlighted the next subheading.....But Meagan and Veeta were awesome! She kept saying stuff I couldn't understand and then saying meaning?? Meagan was awesome explaning! Then Veeta had all the Urdu scriptures ready by the time she finished answering the questions-and scriptures are so hard to find in that Bible! So it's a little annoying that I can't even get 20 hours a week at my job and my boss now takes from the tip jar (seriously!!), BUT is it super getting to go out in service everyday I can't believe how fast the days go by!

Our group is going to do a weekend trip to Cape Coral! I am so excited my first out of town Hindi service adventure, then New York in august for convention! Things I want to do-- eat new york pizza and find a real fake coach bag, someone told me that the central perk coffee shop from friends doesn't exist, so I will have to cross that off. I've been reading the Fountainhead and it is getting me very excited to just walk around and see skyscrapers. Plane tickets were only 205! Not as great as the 203 to SANFRAN, but pretty close!

Well this is Picasso's last day here. Farewell little kitty. Tomorrow night he will be off to Lake Eola.
