Road Trips & More

Just realized I have not posted yet about my trip last week.  It went very well... the roads were good and had no problems during the drive, coming or going.  The singing was excellent and everyone from the audience who came up and commented said everything sounded great... which was good because all the way through the singing I kept hearing one voice from behind me who was way off key the whole time, plus my voice completely gave out when I went for the final note of the last song.

My travel companion wasn't as chatty as I had feared and she slept a bit both ways.  I did hear how much she loves to travel by train and how every place we stopped to eat compared with Denny's.  Tuesday evening after the deal was over and we were walking back to the hotel she was looking for the moon... I looked around and located it.  It had just risen and was still quite low,  big and full.  I then had to explain that yes, they see the same moon in the town she lives that we did there... also further explained that my friends in foreign countries also see the same moon... to which she seemed a bit amazed... rofl.

Saturday my husband celebrated his birthday... I grilled some burgers and baked him a cake (chocolate) to help him celebrate.  It was just him, me, and the kids... I'm sure within the next couple weeks we'll get together with his mom and sisters to celebrate their birthdays (hard to get together because of distance and schedules).  Yes you heard plural birthdays... my husband shares a birthday with two of his sisters as he is a twin and was also born on his older sister's birthday.  Made the paper when he was born as I understand. :)

Doing better :)

Well, I am happy to say that I am not nearly in the pain I was in the other day!  Besides being in prayer about it, I have been taking some left-over antibiotics, Tylenol, and have started using Lysterine when I brush my teeth.  So far it is working.. and I am taking less and less Tylenol for any pain... thankfully I have not needed to take any Vicodin... which I am very happy about. :D

So... I am focusing less on my teeth (yay!) and focusing more on my upcoming whirlwind trip in a couple days...  I am going to sing with a group of about 50 people at a national convention on Tuesday evening... they need me there... as there are only 3 or 4 of us sopranos who will be there.

It's about a 5 hour trip one way... my family won't be able to come with me, so I will be driving myself... driving that distance does not worry me in the least... I will be fine... but I will have one companion during the trip... should be interesting... lol

I don't know how well she travels with people... but she has a tendancy to be a chatterbox... with any luck she will focus on music or take a nap on the way ;)

Not again...

About this time last year I came down with a nasty toothache.  I first thought it was an ear ache because that's where I felt it, but the culprit was a tooth that I had to have extracted.  Well... it's back, this time it's on the opposite side... the bad part is, I have no money and no insurance...  I have an outstanding balance at the dentist I can't pay... and to top it off, I'm supposed to drive 5 hours on Tuesday to sing at a convention then drive back Wednesday.

I am praying for a miracle... that maybe God will see my plight and rid me of this awful pain... I'm also taking Tylenol, trying to get my mouth extra clean, and I have some anti-biotics (left over from last year) that I am taking... perhaps maybe I can nip this thing in the bud and kill the pain and swelling, at least until I can afford to go to the dentist... Lord knows when that will be :(

Please pray for me, I need it...

Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog!

I've done blogs in the past so blogging is nothing new to me, however I have fallen behind on my blogs so much that I thought I would start again fresh.

Past blogs have been based on a them, usually crafting... but this time, I figured I would make an open topic blog.  Yes crafts will be a part of it, but it won't be limited to it.

I hope you will enjoy! :)
