The moment you've all been waiting for!

Well here it is folks, the moment you've all been waiting for. I'm actually going to post something. You've been checking my blog night and day waiting for an update on my oh so exciting life just waiting to see how I'm doing. Will I post about my work? My family? My friends? My dog? Oh wait, I don't have a dog, just a family dog, and I really don't love her enough to post about her! :-) Ok sorry, I got my sarcasm out for the day. I'm alright now, I'll go on with what ever it was that I was going to say. Hmn, what was that anyways?

I really got out of the habit of blogging when I went down to my grandparents for Thanksgiving. For some reason I couldn't log into my beta account, thus meaning, no blogging. Tori had no problems as you all would notice from the fact that her blog is continuously updated. Oh to have such time to waste as she does. Just kidding Tori, you can put your eyes back in your head now. :-)

Work has been going well, I have been feeling more confident about knowing what I'm doing. I like having the assurance that I'm doing something right, and not having to constantly go in and bug someone to tell me what to do. And the coolest thing about work is that I got a raise on Monday. And who says that Mondays are bad?

I'm still in search of a vehicle. Ugh. I"m so tired of looking and waiting. I found the car that I wanted, a 2003 Trail Blazer, but my Dad and Mom don't want me to have to take out a loan so that didn't work out. I'm really dissapointed but trying to accept the fact that God has a vehicle out there for me and hopefully it isn't a junker. Sigh.

I told my Choir director today that I might not be able to continue playing the piano for the choir next semester. I'm so bummed and he was really dissapointed too. It's like the highlight of my day to go and interact with those kids, but now that I'm the only one in the office I can't just take off and leave for an hour and a half every day at a set time. It hasn't been too big of a deal yet, but we're only going to get busier as the months go by and it's not very fair of me to ask that of the company. It's going to be really hard to when the kids find out. Yesterday I lost track of time at work and was 10 minutes late to choir and when I walked in the class Mr. Trimbal was sitting at the piano about to attempt to plunk out some notes and when the kids saw me walking through the door they all jumped up and started screaming and clapping. So ya, I think I'm a litte attached and I'm definitely going to shed some tears over that one.

It really doesn't seem like Christmas is only like three weeks away. Aack! Three weeks! Oh my word, I thought that I had like 5 weeks. Ugh. I'm so stupid. I really need to get on to my shopping. I'm cleaning and decorating the office right now and I think that every artistic bone in my body left for the evening. Well, it's not that bad, but I'm not really in the mood for decorating. Thus I am taking a break and entertaining you all so that I can go back at it with vigor after this. Hmn, well it looks good on the page here, but I'm not really feeling the whole "Vigor" thing.

Ok, enough, enough. I fit in the family and work which seem to be the biggest things in my life right now, so my posting about my friends and my dog will have to wait until next time. Oh ya, I don't love the dog. :-)

Good night all.

Well, uh.

Sorry guys, I don't really feel like posting. But no one else has been, so I feel like I can't get on them for not posting if I'm not posting either.

I guess there's plenty to post about. I could bore you all with the whole car having power steering problems thing, but I'm tired of talking about that. And I went to the sound of music last night so I guess that I could post a video of me singing the "Do-Re-Me" song since I'm now oh so inspired to sing it. Or then again maybe I should let you guys go one more day thinking that I'm a normal person. :-) Or, maybe it's too late and I should do the video...No I already took my makeup off. lol.

I'm going to bed, good night everyone.

And the Verdict is...........

Ok, well I decided on a Navy Blue Razr with a plan through Cell-One. I'm pretty happy so far, although it's only been like 4.5 hours that I've had it, but surely that's besides the point. :o)

The only down side of it all is that I only have 39 minutes until Friday when the next cycle starts. Something about a prorate something or other. Ugh. I don't think that I will actually use that many in just two days, but you never know. I think I'm just paranoid. :)

Now I just have to figure out how to use the silly thing. When Tori got home, she just grabbed it and started punching keys and suddenly, wala, there she was, my first contact in my phone book. I would have like went and read the owners manual first just to make sure that I'm doing it the best way. Yes, I'm lame. And the ring tone kind of creeps me out right now. I'ts all like "Hello Moto", and it's this guy saying it. The lady @ cell-one said that I have two free ringtone down loads, so I just need to figure out how to use those. The Picture quality is good, but I still don't like how I look in cell phone pictures. They bring out the worst and give you this whole distorted look. At least I won't be taking pictures of me, just my friends. So you all get to look distorted, aren't you excited?!

Well, I HAVE to go to bed. Eileen is no longer at Ridgetop, so it's all me at work. It's going to take some getting used to but hopefully I'll manage. Good night all.

Lanae`

Oh, ok. So here's a question for you all: How do you kill the battery in your phone when you can't talk on it and have no time to play games or mess with the settings?! I want the battery to completely die so that it's all up to snuff on my trip.

Hmn, so maybe not.

Ok, well I was going to post pictures. But this computer suddenly doesn't like me and won't let me. So Whatever. Good ridence to this thing, I'm going home!...Well hopefully soon. Dad is still in there working so maybe I'll drag out the biology...or maybe I'll just crawl up under my desk and sleep.... zzzzzzzzzz

"Where oh where has my little dog gone, oh where oh where could he be?..."

Well, I haven't quite lost my dog. I would be happy right now if I had... :0} But what I have lost is my page counter. I seem to have misplaced it, has anyone seen it? I know that I could go and get another one, but I really liked seeing how many people had viewed my blog since I started the blog. But oh well, life goes on with out the page counter....just keep your eyes on the look out in case it appears somewhere.... :)

And please tell me that you all know the song that I was singing!!! You have my sympathy if you don't. What would life be w/out children's songs . :-)

They're gone!...now what?

My parents just left this afternoon with the pastor to go down to Mckinley princess lodge for the weekend. I would usually be excited that they were leaving and be planning all the fun things that I would do. But as I think about what I'm actually going to do, it's pretty lame. I work tonight, I work tomorrow, Tomorrow night I have the highlight of my week (no joke) and I go babysit, Saturday morning I have piano, After piano I go straight to work, and once I finally get home around 7:30 on Saturday night I lock myself in my room and do school until my eyes threaten to fall out of my head and on to my book.

Oh joy. Have I ever told you that I'm a very happy person and love my life? :0) Really, I do. It's ok if you don't believe me though, I sometimes don't belive myself either. :o)

celley phone

Oh ya. I want your guys' input on which cell phone service to go through. (Cell-one, or ACS) And if you have any suggestions on a phone. I am either going to add on to Tori's plan w/cell-one, or Mom's plan w/acs. The only problem w/ either of those is I think that Mom has too few minutes, and Tori has unlimited, which is kind of silly for such a non social person as myself. :0) And I'm considering a Motorola Razor. What you do all think?

And think fast, because I'm going to be getting this in the next few days. :-)

It seems as though lately I've had so much to pray about. If it's not one thing it's another. Ranging from school, to work, to my vehicle situation, church, friends, family. Oh, the list could go on and on, and every thing that I've stated is very vaugue too. I don't know what people who aren't saved do. I would be so stressed out if I didn't know that someone was in control besides myself. I guess that's why they all think it's important to have self confidence.

I have been doing much better at actually doing school this week. God has really helped me to put aside time to do it. Well, not quite aside, more like, "oh an extra five minutes, yae, I can do school". :o) It's not really that bad, well, ok so it is. I would be doing it now, besides the fact that it's at home and I'm at the office waiting for transportation. Dad had winter tires put on the Suburban and Tauras today, so we've been shuffling vehicles back and forth to the tire place all day. But I am so not complaining, because I didn't feel too safe w/the tires that were on either.

Well, I'm going to stop rambling. Until next time.

Me, Myself and I.

12. Favorite snack: It depends on the mood.

39. Have you ever run out of gas? I don't like to live dangerously. My car gives me enough grief when I do take care of it, none the less, if I didn't!

40. If you won a million dollars what would be the FIRST thing you would do? Pray, because I would need allot of guiadance with what to do with all that money!

41. Have you ever had a ticket? Like to a movie? Sure. No, just kidding, I haven't ever gotten a ticket for a traffic violation.

Well, I think that is a pretty lame question to end with. No depth to it at all. Anwho. Now you all know more about me. Aren't you glad you just wasted the last 5 minutes hoping that I would reveal the deep dark story behind Lanae`, just to find that, uh, there isn't one. Ok, well you just found that I have sarcasm. That's exciting right? :o)

Well tomorrow's the big day of the concert. It's probably going to be the shortest concert in the history of all time. We only have four songs to go through so the introduction and the bows will take longer than all of the songs together. They were going to have the choir sing on Wednesday night when the band played, but I said that I couldn't do it on a Wednesday because I have church. So I'm not going to complain about the shortness of the concert since it's partly my fault.

On one of the songs that were singing starts out with a solo/duet part that we decided to turn into a trio part. Almost all of the kids in the choir wanted to audition for it, but we narrowed it down to two sets of three girls and then finaly just down to the one group. But the sad new is that we lost one of the girls in the trio because she beat up another girl after school on Monday and is now suspended and who knows if she will ever come back. And then today another girl from the now duet didn't show up to school, so it may become a solo after all. And the ironic thing is, that the girl that got beat up was one of the girls in our second choice group for the trio part, so we can' t even trade groups. This poor girl can't even open her mouth more than a 1/2", and I think that her jaw is broken or something like that. Who knows who started it all or whether it was deserved, but I think they both ought to be spanked.

On a lighter note, Mr. Trimbal had me direct warmups today while he logged the attendance record into the computer. It was fun standing up there acting like I know what I'm doing and these kids actually (kinda) listening to me. It wasn't that big of a deal, just one of those things that changes the pattern of my day and makes me happy. :-)

Well I'm going to stop wasting minutes of my precious sleep time. I'll talk to you all later.
