Supper At Eat Side Mario's (With Friends)

Girls' Night Out

Andrea, Brianna, me

East Side Mario's

Haven't been there in years, rather more expensive than I remembered

The bread is just as good though

Ordered my first alcoholic beverage out,

Lime daiquiri

Rather tart

Nice bartender, just the right level of friendly, without being a flirt

So filling

Only ate half my pizza

No dessert, no way

Fun times

Good conversation

Just the Little Things

It's the little things in life

Like not getting teased for getting into a parking lot scrape with another vehicle

Like having my Dad leave a customer meeting because I am more important to him

Like having Daddy buy me a KitKat bar, a sweet gesture to cheer me up

Like girls' night out

And iced lemonades

And not crying when I got my ears pierced

Like gummy worms, and accidentally calling them gummy bears... every single time

Like having someone else make lunch

Like talking with Brandon even for just an hour

Just the little things that make life so sweet amidst the bitterness.

You

You make me smile

Laugh

You know just how to cheer me up when I'm down

You are learning what I don't like

You are learning my quirks 

(which is making me realize how many I have!) 

But you still seem to like me

More and more

You are so wonderful

April Showers

'April showers' are becoming reality. A week before now we were crossing our fingers it wouldn't snow again. Now, finally, half way into the month: lots of rain. And rumbles of thunder. I love thunder, wish there was more of it.

The Mummy

Forgot my movie review yesterday! 

The Mummy: a comic thriller/horror? 

Ok... 

Funny, some rather creepy parts (the bugs!!) 

Not a waste of time for sure. 

But Monday movie night never is.

Ducks

Phillip and Marjory, the ducks who visit our pool every year since we moved here, have returned. Five springs in a row.

A Quote: Ann Judson

"Oh Jesus, make me live to Thee, and I desire no more."

Performance Preparation

The most nerve-wrecking day of preparation for a performance is the day before, when you sit down at the piano, hoping to just play through each song once, perfectly, by memory, and mess up or lose your spot in your head, can't remember how it goes, and have to look at the book to remember :S

Just Burst My Bubble Why Don't You?

When you're all like "I've been good today, haven't idled doing useless things..." And your mother comes along and reprimands you for not having done anything productive...

Kiwanis Music Festival

Watched my little brother play four piano pieces this morning. She was a nice adjudicator, but:

Unpredictable on multiple levels. 

First

Instead of third?

Second and third

Instead of first?

He still got away with two firsts

Good job.
