What a day

So, today we had quite the day. They were working on some plumbing issue in the apartment, so we had no water. Dray and I decided to stay out all day, and we took Sean to school, and proceeded to spend what we thought would be a nice day, just the two of us.

Boy were we wrong.

I'm so glad Dray's mind works the way it does. He called to find out if the guy he shares the working responsibilities for a client with was back from Africa. He went to visit his family (or was it to go to the world cup?).

Well, it turns out that he missed his flight. Really? I'm very suspicious about that. How is it that you miss your flight back to America when you have to cross Africa (continent #1) then Europe (continent #2) to get back to the United States (located on continent #3 in this question)?!

Hmmmmm.....

So, Dray is working with this client, according to the mother, for at least today (Monday), and tomorrow. I predict Dray will be working the week, because I cannot imagine that it is easy to get a flight out of Africa right now, due to all the incoming and outgoing traffic from the World Cup (I know it's in South Africa, and this guy is from Ghana, but, still....come on, now). Also, he's got to realign his connecting flights from Africa to Europe to the United States. I don't think that will be an easy task. Not because it's unheard of - international flights go on daily and hourly - but because of the logistics. That's three continents you have to get access to, and three different places you have to work out of three different time zones in order to get back to your job.

Sheesh. I think he just wanted to stay a little bit longer. He could have just told us all that up front. I was really looking forward to a relaxing week of planning Sean's birthday party and whatnot with Dray before my class starts up next week.

Oh well....we'll see if he can get back to the states before Thursday. I highly doubt it...that seems like at least a three day turnaround, and he was supposed to leave yesterday and only notified someone today. Come on, now.

Okay, that's all for now. It's late, and we've just gotten home. The good news is the water is back on. :)

No bad news to discuss. Isn't that nice?

Take care.

Peace.

Writing and what not

So, I have to stop perpetrating and acting like this is supposed to be the blog of all blogs. In actuality, I'm quite ashamed of myself.

Me, the one who can't stop journaling, has not done so for the past year. I'm almost positive that the reason is because of school, work, husband, and baby. I haven't had the time to sit down and write out my thoughts and feelings about a lot of things.

So, since that's where I'm at today, I'll start with something that is old, and end with something new.

Here's the old (out with the old). My former singing group has reunited for a show that will be at our former church, since this show (the annual youth talent show) is the one that started us out as a group. We did it for a laugh, and it became something serious.

Apparently, all the girls will be in attendance except for me.

Now, I'm feeling some kind of way about that, but the truth of the matter is, I'm so happy right where I am, I have no desire to go there.

Seeing the three of them together again could possibly put me back at 18 again. And considering that I'm well past that, I want to move on from it.

Part of me wants to go just to see what will happen and to finally close up the chapter of "all of us" for once and for all.

Another part of me wants to sit in the audience and laugh - mostly because I'm the only one still singing out of the entire group.

And finally, the better part of me wants me to be happy and let it all go.

So, after pondering it all, I've decided to be happy for their reunion and I wish them all the best.

It should be great fun for a night. And, since I won't be there, it can't be a true reunion....lol!

But, it's a reunion all the same....they're already practicing....it's not until August, but that's about right. We have to do it right, you know, and I don't expect anything less than a great show from them. :)

Now, for the new...

I've been going back and forth about what to do with this blog. I'm thinking that I'm going to start writing up some of my short stories and putting them on here. Whatever comes to my mind to write about.

It will give my blog more of a purpose, and, of course, it will keep me in the practice of writing.

I do plan on becoming a well known author (Bestseller's lists, baby, at least every two years) in the near future, so I really need to start honing my craft.

I'm also planning on taking up the guitar (for real this time) this summer. I miss my music in my life everyday like it was before...so I've got to get back to it. I love it too much to just sit on my voice. Besides, use it or lose it is a real thing.

Okay, that's all I've got for now. Keep looking for more updates...

I promise to be more devoted and to get on here at least once a week.

It's my blog and it deserves at least that much love.

:)

Peace.
