Sunday Smorgasbord - Sunburn Edition
-Sent a gorgeous vase of tulips to my mom for Mother's Day. Only I didn't put two and two together that they were going to my cousin's dance recital and weren't home except for this morning. Luckily I talked to the florist and they'll deliver them to her tomorrow. I'm definitely a little disappointed.
-I conduct my movement of Swan Lake tomorrow with the orchestra...I'm a little nervous. I'm ready, but I'm nervous. I'll hopefully be one of the first ones up so that I don't have time to sit there and freak myself out.
-Tuesday is my conducting final. I'm so not ready for it with the two new excerpts I got assigned. I'm a little sad about this being the end of the semester, I've really enjoyed this class and learned a LOT from my professor.
-I finished Day 11 of the 30 Day Shred and am doing great. Just started Level Two today. I absolutely love it and am managing to be incredibly consistent. I started a new blog to track my progress. It's helping me stay on top of this, it definitely helped me not skip the workout the other day.
-Happy Mother's Day to all of the fabulous mothers out there. I think we definitely need more than just one day to celebrate how wonderful you are.

Sunday Smorgasbord
I unfortunately do not have any new information about Dave's condition. Thank you for all of your prayers, please keep them coming. I promise to update as soon as I know more. I'm hoping to get an update sometime tomorrow.
Two trips to Disney's California Adventure = awesome. First trip wasn't so fun, what with the bf being in a REALLY bad mood all day and being a jerk while we were there...but he's since apologized profusely and we're all better now. Today's trip was AWESOME. Just a relaxed day with the bf and our friend Trickster. He's an amazing rider and like a little brother to both of us. (updated the nicknames post with his and a few other new nicknames)
Went to the mother/daughter luncheon with the bf's mom yesterday, we had a great time. This was her last year organizing/running it. She actually worked out that the Knights would host it and would make it into a family event next year. They'll do the bbq, etc. The ladies will still run the silent auction and raffle, etc. I think it's a great idea. It will bring in a lot more people and subsequently a lot more money for the fundraiser. (a center for the support of pregnant women and mothers, wonderful organization) The bf's mom and I talked about having a girl's day sometime with lunch and a chick flick. That should be fun, she really is such a sweet lady.
Swine Flu has everyone in a tizzy for no real reason. I get the significance, I think the media just needs to chill and find something else to focus on. They're inducing an unnecessary panic. That being said, there was a chance of the campus I work at closing. In such a case, I would be considered "essential staff" and would still have to work. Lame. But our student who was ill was tested negative for swine flu, so I think we're pretty safe for the time being.
Beth's posts over at A Mom's Life inspired me to buy and start the 3o Day Shred. I'm doing really well so far. Even started a separate blog to track my progress. (yes, I realize I'm posting more consistently there than I am here at the moment...I'm working on it)
I suppose that's about it for the moment. I think I'm going to get some sleep now. I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
