My aunt passed away early last week, after battling brain cancer for 8 months.  Her funeral was in Orange County on Thursday, and I was back to work on Saturday, dammit.  It's a weird time right now, I guess.

I freaked out a bit at band practice on Sunday. (Sorry guys.)  I'm happy to say I'm much better now.  You know, after someone close to you dies, the grieving sort of hits you at odd times - like while singing "Not Quite Right in the Head"....um, yeah.  Anyways.

2007 has been a helluva year, but I have to say I am MORE than ready for 2008.  Bring it on. :)

I love days off.  Of course, that's like saying "I hate being sick" or "Aren't post-it's handy?" but I still am compelled to utter (type?) the words.  I have a whopping 48 hours of down-time to catch up on laundry and other exciting housework-type-stuff, and I am so very excited.  In the not-too-distant future, I will be visiting Mickey Mouse.  In fact, I think these two days off are my last days off before leaving for a week.  

There was a time when I had bigger and more exciting plans than "Yay - housework!"...  But at this point, I will take what I can get.  I guess if all goes according to plan, next year I will have bigger things to look forward to - like touring the Philippines.  We'll see if that actually happens this time, but it's exciting for now! 

OK, so....Yay!  Housework!

If that quiz that I posted last night took up too much room on anyone's journal....sorry. Still figuring out the kinks in the system. :) 

P.S. It's Weight Watchers D-Day.  SO far, so good.  Hopefully this will do the trick.

I love food. Bad food AND healthy food. Grrr. I know I'm supposed to listen to my stomach and stop eating when I'm not hungry, but I just wish my stomach would talk louder, y'know? In my fantasy parallel universe (and who's to say this doesn't really exist somewhere outside of this dimension, but this helps me in no way whatsoever), grease would be chock full of vitamins. That would be great.

OK, so tomorrow I'm back on the Weight Watchers. Go team.

Every few weeks I seem to remember that I own a computer. After that, I seem to remember that through that computer I have access to an entire world of other people that I neglect when I am not on my oft-forgotten computer. Hmm. Maybe I should start placing random post-its around my house, just as a memory booster.

A whole bunch of crap has gone down since I changed my LJ name from "trippy chick" to "songbird99". Our elusive Philippine tour seems closer than ever, which is crazy. I have a close relative who was rather recently diagnosed with an aggressive cancer in her brain. My grandma moved in with my parents. My daytime source of income has been less consistent than in times past. So, yeah, I've had some stuff going on. But it is what it is. There are good things going on as well - like I have this sparkly, new LJ account. :)

I'll post something (hopefully) more interesting as soon as I think of it. Right now I'm going to start trying to track down all of you that I had on my friends list the last time 'round. Until then, be good to yourselves.....and each other. XOXO
