Whew!

Oh man, it's been a busy couple of weeks. And it's going to get even busier! But I just wanted to let you all know a few things that are going on.

1. I'm blogging for Diabetes Awareness Month again, on my other blog http://theinsulincrowd.blogspot.com/.  I wanted to do it daily, but that is just not going to happen this month!

2. I'm going to be driving to North Carolina on Monday all by myself! That's a 7 hour drive, and I'm a little nervous, but it's for a good cause. I'm headed down to High Point to help out my mother-in-law after she has surgery (don't worry, it's nothing life threatening, she just will need an extra hand for a few days).  Ben will then join me the next week for the week of Thanksgiving. So, I'll be playing nurse in High Point for a week, all by myself! I get along great with my in-laws, but it's still unnerving to be away from home for a week, helping someone else out. But, if anyone is dying to have a really long phone conversation on Monday as I drive down there, during which I can guarantee your call will be dropped a million times as I wind in and out of the Appalachian Foothills, I'd be happy to oblige.

3. Did I mention I'm teaching piano lessons now? (only like a million times already, right?) I love it! I'm going to be missing two weeks when I'm in North Carolina, and I'm actually sad about it.  As my friend "M". would say "I think I missed my calling."  Seriously, I actually enjoy this, and I get paid for it. Granted, I've only taught one highly gifted and motivated Brazilian kid, so who knows what it would be like to teach an over-programmed, bratty, privileged American kid who doesn't practice? But, right now I'm reveling in it. Sometimes I second guess my career choices (especially when I'm not actually working), but I think if I had studied how to be a piano teacher in school, I'd probably hate it. That's how I roll.

Okay, later peeps.
