EDIT ADD: Shack (my prof) liked the fact that I finished my work in the same day so much he gave me some more. Cool beans, I got nothing to do, and take it while you can get it–cause once I get a job, hasta pasta! Arranging will be a on-the-side kinda thing…but I LOVE IT!
Also-grapes are so unpredictable. A whole bunch can be crisp and juicy and then you get some mediocre soft ones. I would eat grapes more if I could count on them to all be crisp and juicy…I’m just saying (you know the rest).
Also-check out the coolest sweepstakes ever! This is definately the best prize, too…

Right now I am in the midst of a 1950′s style song transcription for Citrus College…fun stuff. It’s called “C’mon Everybody” and it’s from the musical All Shook Up with a bunch of Elvis songs (including the aforementioned–obviously). I’m pretty sure on the chorus they are singing “Love-a my baby” but all 20 (and I’m not exaggerating) lyrics sites I checked all say the chorus is “I love my baby”. Ok, all you lyrics sites, I’m going with you… (so hesitant)
Christy and I had a lovely valentines day–we made homemade-from-scratch sugar cookies with Nathaniel in the shape of hearts and gingerbread men. OK, no store anywhere had heart-shaped cookie-cutters on Valentine’s day [I'm so confused] so we had to hand-carve the hearts…which is why Nathaniel made some gingerbread men. We had a cookie cutter for that shape. Then, we went down to have Grandma/Grandpa in Placentia watch the kids while we stole away for lunch and ice cream. After this grand time we had, we arrived back to the Grandfolks house to pick up the kids in a whopping 45 minutes. Yeah–the love is still alive! Happy Valentines day dear!
Well–even though I don’t have an official job yet, one of my old profs has me working non-stop on arranging for him. I love it! Seriously…after a good 5 weeks of having nothing to do around here but look for a job, I walked out of my first meeting with him–where he gave me my first assignment for him–and I thought to myself “Life has meaning again!!! I can go on!!”
OK-so overdramatic…but it was rejuvenating! Hard at work…working hard…ordering in…working weekends…

Lyrics sites are helpful to a point, but so often, they’re all based on one or two incorrect versions. If I were you, I’d go with my gut instinct. If it’s obvious, anyway.

It’s cool how you guys were coming down every weekend and then BAM, God gets you working right after your last weekend here (you know what I mean), soooo cool!
