Alone...

Hello friends!

I know my posts have been irregular lately. I was sick for a week, then was without a voice for almost a week. I am still fighting with the hoarseness - which is odd for me. Usually I have my singing voice back by now, but I am still without it. That drives me batty, as I love to sing.

So - What's been going on... Steve left on Wednesday for his trip to Alaksa. He is going for roughly 4 weeks, so I have the place to myself! My dad came to visit for the first few days and he helped me get the house cleaned and organized a little since things have been so hectic lately. He left yesterday morning. I love having the house to myself. It really gives me a chance to breathe. I still have a lot of clearning out and organizing to do, but I have plenty of time to do it in.

Let me also say that a few weeks ago I purchased a Wii system! I bought it so I could play Rock Band (Along the lines of Guitar Hero but it also has drums and a microphone). I have been hooked ever since. I just finished my solo tour on the guitar (on Easy) and have moved on to Medium. I am also slightly better at the drums, so I am having a blast with that. Since I don't have my full voice register back, I have yet to attempt the microphone. My friend Lori has been playing with me and we are thinking of auditioning people to fill the other two slots in our band. We are thinking of taking the band on the road.... to Dollywood. Don't ask. LOL

Things have been super hectic at work. My manager is currently working to get me a promotion, which would be pretty sweet. I am keeping my fingers crossed! I teach a new class this week, so hopefully that will go well. I am also currently finishing an article on employee loyalty that we are hoping will get picked up by national nursing magazines. I will be sure to post it when it does!

Baby Madison is now running (literally!) and we are running to keep up with her. I have watched her some the past few weeks and she just gets cuter every time I see her. Her birthday pictures from June are on my Smugmug site. I have a few more pictures and I will try to get them uploaded this week.

I got my hair done again on Friday. I will try to get new pictures uploaded soon. I really like it!!

Anyway... that is all for now. I will try to post more often, as I am sure there are a few of you out there who are always looking for something new to read. I know, because I am visiting your blogs waiting impatiently for a new post... and then remind myself that I haven't been posting regularly either. Ah well.

Congrats to the Ramsey Bros. for becoming a YouTube partner! If you haven't checked out their videos... I highly recommend them. Warning... you may need to invest in some Depends before watching. Funny, funny stuff.

Later!
