Random Tuesday Thoughts - Speaking of Which

First things first. Gotta give props, click on Keely's fugly button above (her description, not mine) and check out her randomness.  It's randomly random aka awesomely awesome!

So....(sheepish side step to the right) how you doin?  Me, well I could be here all day if I start that business.  But anyway...

Kids, school, colorguard, holidays, blah, blah, blah.  Speaking of colorguard, we are officially up and running with our winterguard season.  Our show is going a different direction from previous years.  The past two years have been slow, balladish (I made up that word) and poignant.  This year, I wanted to change it up, so we are going with an up-tempo, more butch industrial/techno show so that we don't get pigeon-holed into one set style.  I think it's a good way to keep it interesting and teach my guardie youngsters to embrace change.  I am blessed to have my daughter home from college for another ten days, to help design and teach the show.  Speaking of which...

My kid had a banner first semester of college.  She managed to get all A's and a B, while maintaining a rigorous schedule as part of the OU Pride Colorguard.  She's had a whirlwind break, first flying home then flying back to go to the Fiesta Bowl, and today she flies home again then flies back and starts spring semester in a few weeks.  I am so incredibly proud of her, and to boot, she wrote me the sweetest letter a few months ago.  I can't ask for more, speaking of which...

She is the third of my four children.  They are all in various states of the education process.  They are all happy, healthy and succeeding in their academic pursuits.  I am incredibly proud of all of them, I am so very
blessed.  Speaking of which...

My husband and I just celebrated six wonderful years of marriage.  Nine plus years of this segment of the relationship and thirty-five years of being soul-mates.  If you do the math, yes, we were eleven when he sent me the note in world studies class and I circled yes.  We've only been coupled just over eleven of those years--collectively.  But we do have an enduring love that has lasted all thirty-five years.  In total, it's a cool story which he thinks we should peddle to Lifetime.  He is full of ideas, speaking of which...

He writes a blog!  It is frank, often humorous, insightful, and politically incorrect.  Now, he and I and two of our kids write blogs.  The dog will probably soon be writing one too.  Speaking of which...

Sarah the dog is happy and healthy.  For a diabetic dog, she has beat all the projections.  Our vet is amazed that she isn't blind, but so far, her eyesight seems great.  Except...a few weeks ago, during the lunar eclipse, she decided to chase a cat...that turned out to be a skunk.  Maybe the eyesight ain't so great, hmmmmm.  I was awakened by my frantic husband to assist with the de-skunking.  It was not fun for us or for her.  Somehow, I suspect she didn't learn to leave skunks alone.  We are all being more diligent about when and where she is off-leash.  Speaking of which...

That's all the random I can spare today.  I must dive head-first into my task list.  Toodles!
