One More Time, with Feeling!

Well here I am again. Looks like I've got this writing every couple of months thing down pack lol. As I wrote in my last post, I've been slacking, and continued to do it since then unfortunately. I haven't been able to get my grove on.

Week of Fun, Spoilage, and Relaxing

There was a lot going on this past week. It was also a good week thanks to it all.

Tuesday

For me, I don't ask for much because there isn't much I actually want. Any time I want something, I have been blessed with a family who come through for me and get it for me even if I don't ask for it. With all the crap that has been going on around here this year, they still don't make an exception.

On Tuesday after I had made my last post, a package came in for my brother. I happen to be getting ready to leave and texting with a customer when the FedEx driver showed up, so I grabbed the box, put it in the car and took off. I took note that the bottom of the box was slightly open, let my brother know about it, and moved on because I didn't really have time for it since I had just decided to stop by and see my customer before picking up Midget, and it was almost 2:30.

Vintage Market Days and State Band Competition

I don't know about you, but my weekend was absolutely full this weekend. I won tickets to the Lexington Vintage Market Days, so I went both Saturday and Sunday with my daughter. My son got to join us Sunday since he was home. Saturday night, I went to Kroger Stadium to watch my son and his band march in the State Band Finals. Busy feels like it an understatement of how my weekend was.

State Band Competition

Saturday was full of different things to do. Midget had to be at school early so they could practice for semifinals and finals of the state band competition that day. I missed the first performance, but made it for the second. The parking lot was full. There were a lot of people there watching and cheering on their bands. Madison Central's parents and supports showed up red lights in hand, routing, cheering, and shouting for this great group of kids. There were 252 students on the field and in the pit, and they did an excellent job. It had been a while since I had seen a full marching band show, and this one brought back memories.

Starting off Slow and Finishing the Day Strong

Today has been another interesting day for me. I started out sluggish thanks to not going to bed on time again. Once I finally got going today, the day got busy and I haven't really stopped.

The first good thing that happened is that Avon announced Online Fundraising! I am so happy that we have access to this now. I feel like I will be able to help organizations a lot better because there isn't any flyers, no collecting money, no work for the most part aside from registering the fundraiser, spreading the word about the link, very minimal paperwork, and handing over the check when it is done. This is super exciting and I can't wait to be able to get my first one started.
