Who you are

I got this quote from Songbird today. It's pretty appropriate, especially for here. If you can't be open and honest in your own blog, then where can you be?

"Be who you say you are.. and say what you feel .. because those that matter, don't mind ... and those that mind, don't matter!"

Band Camp flunky?

It's time for Band Director Sleep-Away Camp again. We counselors arrived 2 days ago to start prep work. 1st year campers start arriving tomorrow and have their entrance exam on Saturday. First day of camp activities is on Sunday.

This year, all of the counselors have been asked to conduct a warm-up and/or sight-reading piece on the first day. Well, everyone except Techno-Chick and me.

(PROFANITY ALERT)

WHAT THE FUCK?

I'm getting some pretty clear signals from the cosmos that something in my life needs to change because lately things are really sucking ass.

Generosity is for suckers

I'm the one people come to when they need help. I've loaned/lost more money over the years than I am ready to admit. My house is a place where wayward souls land when they need some breathing room financially. I loan my car if it helps someone out in a pinch. My laptop is currently in the hands of someone who needs it for the summer. Not only am I tithing a full 10%, but I support one needy child and one foreign missionary family. Part of my morning prayer time is to ask the hand of God to provide for me when necessary and to guide my decisions to keep my finances under control.

I can't even begin to list all of the financial set-backs I've faced this week. It's all bullshit. I quit!
