I know I haven't posted anything in two and a half months. I 'm guessing nobody even checks in anymore to see if I've updated. Regardless, I'm going to try to start blogging again!
I have to post this, because it makes me smile. I'm sure you've figured out that I love Craig Ferguson's Late Late Show by now. This was the opener to one of his shows in March.

Yes, I'm Still Alive
...and, no, I haven't updated this thing in forever. I've been crazy busy lately, so I haven't had much 'extra' time.
I will, however, update soon. Thanks for checking in!!

365 Days of...Me
Spring may have officially began, but Mother Nature had other plans today. I took this picture this evening. It's after midnight and I can still hear it coming down outside. In like a lion, out like a lamb? I think March is corn-fused this year!

I Am Beyond Excited!
A couple of months ago, I was browsing in Midwest Music. On the way out the door, I spotted a flyer with a band looking for a female lead singer. I took a little strip of paper with an email address on it and headed home. I sent an email asking what the band was looking for when I got home, but never heard back, so I assumed that the position had been filled.
A couple of days ago, I got an email from Brian. It said that my email had gone to his junk mail folder and he'd all but given up on finding someone in this area. He said he's looking for someone to record vocals on songs that he has written. He plans to sell them for TV and movie licensing deals. I told him I'd be very interested, so he sent me one of his songs to learn. I recorded it and he said that we should get together to work on his songs! I'm so very excited. I can't wait to work with a talented musician in a recording studio!

Okay, I Think We've Had Enough Excitement, Now...
On Thursday, Nora started having a nasty cough. I didn't think too much of it, but a few people told me I should take her to the doctor to have her checked out. Early Friday morning, she had a fever, so I called the doctor to try to get her in. Unfortunately, none of the doctors in the clinic had room on their schedules to see her. I decided to wait it out to see how she was. Later that afternoon, the fever came back. So, I loaded her in the car and took her to Stat Care. (The urgent care place in Salina). The doctor listened to her lungs and said they were clear, so no chance of RSV or pneumonia. He did notice that she had an ear infection, though. I'm glad I followed my gut and took her in. She didn't say anything about her ear bothering her! The doctor gave her some amoxicillin and sent us on our way.
Tonight, we went to a Quail Unlimited banquet. It was a really nice, relaxed atmosphere. We knew a lot of people there, so we had a good time chatting. Joe is on the committee, so he was in charge of the PLINK O game. When people weren't playing it, he was holding Nora up to drop the disks in. She thought it was great. I was keeping track of the prices of the items on the auction and Nora was playing over by the game. Suddenly, there was a big crash. We all looked back to see the 3'x5' piece of plywood with tons of metal pegs and Plexiglas lying on top of Nora. She started screaming and we rushed to her. The pegs had made puncture wounds in several places on her head, so she was bleeding quite a bit. We went into the kitchen to clean her up and noticed...one of the pegs had broken off in her scalp. Joe thought maybe he could pull it out, but we decided it would be best to take her to the ER. The hospital in our tiny town has an ER, but they are pretty worthless and would have sent us on to Salina, so we just went straight to Salina. She fussed a little bit on the way into town that her head was hurting, but eventually fell asleep. When we got to the ER, she was very cooperative with getting her vitals taken and was in pretty good spirits. Everything was fine until they brought in the papoose to strap her down in. She cried quite a bit while they deadened her head and then removed the peg, but recovered quickly once set free from the papoose. Her poor little head looks terrible, but she's fine. I decided to keep the peg that was in her head--it's almost exactly an inch long.
The blessing in disguise is that our deductible starts over tomorrow. *whew* Joe pointed that out to me while we were on the way home.
