What has been keeping me so busy, you ask?!
Well -- It all started last weekend! Friday I ran around to two different Goodwill stores, looking for THE perfect outfit for my "rock band member" costume. With God's help, I was successful!
(Sorry for leaving out a bunch of details here -- I'm still on a time crunch! We're going to a Production Seminar class tonight!)
OK -- Then, Saturday morning, I got up and curled my hair with my soft plastic hot rollers! Wow, that took forever! And Ever! I had 14 curlers, and needed more like 40! So -- I'd heat up the curlers, put them in one section of my hair, take them out, put them back into the curler heater thing, let them sit for 30 minutes, then take them out, curl some more hair, put them back in the heater thing for 30 minutes, take them out and curl more hair, etc...
While doing my hair, I also needed to make and eat breakfast and lunch for me and my sweetie!
At 1:30, we left for a TV Toastmasters thing where I got my first chance to run the soundboard!
My curlers were still in my hair, so I took them out on our way there. : ) Then, I sprayed the curls and did not comb them out.
Yes, I looked like Shirley Temple, but I wanted to leave in the curls so they'd last longer.
I enjoyed running the board for the show, which will be aired on a cable TV show for a month! I made about 4 mistakes, but other than that, I enjoyed it and learned a lot! : )
Then, at 5 p.m., we zoomed back home, and I changed clothes into my costume, and I "picked" my hair out with my pick "comb", sprayed my hair with tons of hair spray, I put make-up on and went to the party!
It was fun!
Time warp to this past Sunday --
I baked cookies and we took some to one of our neighbors.
Then Monday morning, what did we find near our front door?? A Kitchen Aid MIXER!!! Yes! A nice, expensive mixer, which obviously hadn't been opened yet, and had been sitting on someone's shelf for a while. There was no note, but we're guessing it is from our neighbor who we gave the chocolate chip cookies to! Fair trade, don't you think?! : ) Ha ha! Cookies for a mixer?!
Monday at 1 p.m, I played for a funeral of an elderly lady in our Ward. It went well. But the Funeral Home's heat wasn't working, so it was FREEZING cold in there! Just perfect weather for the dead, but not so perfect weather for the living! : )
Monday night, we went to our 2nd Studio Production class! : ) Yay! We learned TONS more stuff!
Tuesday I dropped my sweetie off at work and then at 11 a.m., I went to a lady's house who is looking for a "Nanny" to help her with her twins. We'll see if she "hires" me. It'll be just 3 days a week for a few hours a day.
Then I came home and took a nap! Then ate something and went to work that night.
Today, I got up, read some scriptures, ate breakfast and lunch, and then prepared the piano lesson for my one student, and then he came, learned and left! ; )
NOW -- I finally have some freeeeeeee time!!!!!!!!! Yay!
That's what's been going on here!
Tonight, we'll be going to that production class. Tomorrow, I'll be taking dinner to a lady in our ward who won the item I "auctioned-off" at a Relief Society Service Auction night.
Friday, I'll be playing the piano with the staff at an Ensemble night that the music school is going to be having east of downtown! It should be fun! Lots of the students will be playing, too!
That's it for now!
Have a good day!

Congrats - you deserve it and blessings for the person who gifted it to you!!!
Sounds like your doing well. I sure would love to see a picture of you dressed up. If you have one, post it. So sweet of whoever gave you the Kitchen Aid. So sweet!
A -- Hi! That's right! It's a really nice, and apparently NEW mixer! And thanks for the congrats, but the thing is -- I already have one. : ) I've had one for several years now, and it IS wonderful! : ) It's great to mix bread dough in. And yes, I use it to make cookies too! So since I already have one, I wonder what I should do with THIS one.... Hmmmmmm.... Hey! I know -- Christmas is coming up, and I can give it to one of my sisters who doesn't HAVE a Kitchen Aid Mixer! : ) I'll bet she'll LOVE IT!!!! ; )
Hey there KunzlerKlan! Thanks! And I think I have your e-mail address. I'll send you a picture of my outfit! : )
