Making taffy




This past Sunday Jeanni Evans and I made homemade taffy. It was a lot of fun. It went a lot faster than I thought it would. It was really hot when we started to pull it. It was worth the pulling of the hotness. It was also funny because I put the fork on a package of butter to set it aside until we were done. Well after we were done and cleaning up the taffy had cooled like in the picture. It was cool.

Spring Cleaning

So recently because of moving I have been doing a lot of sorting through all of my things. It is crazy all the things that I keep and hold onto. I just thought to myself as I was doing some of the sorting, "why have I kept this?" I filled up part of a box with paper that can be recycled it was crazy. I am glad that all that paper is not going to waste. It hasn't hit me as hard about conserving things as it has this semester with how the economy is and from being in a really awesome Natural Resource and Society class. I enjoyed this class a lot. We learned about the environment but also about relationships in general. It was great!!! Well to do other things I go hy ho hy ho hy ho.

Attitude



So I have a question for everyone. What are your thoughts on how attitude affects how we live in our daily lives? What do you think when you hear a performance and its good but the person doesn't seem like they want to play or be there? What is the affect of people seeming like they don't want to be somewhere? I have to write a story for a class and I need to know what others think? If this doesn't make sense ask me to clarify what is not making sense. Thanks so much.

Tire Rotation

Today I went and had my tires rotated and I thought that getting tires rotated was something totally different than it really is. Tire rotation is where they move tires to different tire axles on the vehicle. It is funny that I thought that is not what was done. I also learned how I can change the air filter on my car. It was cool. Hope everyone is well. Have a good day.

Remembering things of the past


So while working a school project I was reminded of old tv shows that I used to watch. One that hit me in particular was Mr. Rogers. I loved that show because of the new things that I could learn and the imaginary neighborhood. It is good to take time to play in our lives. Sometimes it is just what we need to get us through a tough day.
Have a awesome pawsome day!!!!!!!!!!

The joy of music

It has been a lot of fun being back in a school band. I am in the symphonic band this semester and I really enjoy it. We have a concert this Friday. It should be a pretty good time. There are few of the pieces that are tougher than the others but I will give it my best shot. I will do the best I can to do my part well.
We are playing Imperatrix, Cahjun folk songs, hebrides suite, when the stars begin to fall, and another piece that is looney tune type of stuff.
Another thing that has been fun is that I am learning my scales better. I used to not know very many scales and now I know at least six of them. It is also fun learning about the transposing process.
Have a wonderful awesome day.
:)

Words of Wisdom

The effect of our words and acts is tremendous in this world. Every moment of life you are changing to a degree the lives of the whole world. … So, it’s not the surroundings, it isn’t the positions; the thing that will influence [others] in this world, are personalities. No matter what you are people will feel and recognize this. You radiate, you can’t hide it. You may pretend something else, but that will not affect people.
