Guess who's the new ward organist?

Yep, that would be me. I got a call from the 1st Counselor on Saturday night at 9 pm to ask if I would 'substitute' on the organ Sunday and feeling guilty because I couldn't think of one good reason not to, I said yes. He did ask if I'd played before and I said "Not for people to sing".

Then, Sunday morning I got a call to meet with a member of the bishopric. I've known for a week that I was probably getting the Sunday phone call, I just didn't think I'd get the 9pm Saturday call. (as a side note - that makes 4 callings and 3 of them involve the piano/organ. Where did all the piano players go? They better find some in the ward soon...I've only got 2 months left in the ward.)

My roommate said I did great, but I don't think I did that well. I guess you'll know where to find me this week...at the church, practicing!

"So cute with capris in the summer!"

It's surprising what can make a day better. A 'fun' email, a phone call from a friend or just wearing cute shoes. I've had a rough week at work and was not at all excited about going to work today. As I was getting dressed this morning I decided to wear my new cute shoes. My sister talked me into getting them by telling me 4 or 5 times that they will be 'so cute with capris in the summer!' I'm sure they will be cute with capris, but they are also cute with my jeans and a skirt.

Power tools.

I grew up helping dad with his many projects around the house. I've helped build gates, a gazebo and cement block borders but I usually wasn't allowed to use the power tools. (It's probably the safest option for all involved.) But Saturday I successfully used a power saw and several times I might add! I was pretty scared at first, but it was fun! Now I want more projects with power tools.

Weekend fun...

It was a perfect spring-like day today. I really enjoyed the nice weather. Roommate and I went and played tennis this morning. I can't tell you the last time I played tennis. It's been so long ago and I really had fun. We didn't play a 'game' just hit the ball back and forth to each other, but it was really fun. She said something about playing every week...guess I'm going to have to get practicing on my serve (it wasn't very good today).

Great blog with reviews of books...

This is one of my favorite blogs. I love finding books that I don't have to worry about what I will find halfway through it. She is having a drawing for a book that I really want to read...I'm just waiting for the library to tell me it's my turn! But if I win, I won't have to wait for the library!

well now I feel guilty, tired and hungry...

Roommate's plans changed again and she ended up leaving last night as originally planned. Now I feel guilty for being so happy that she's gone. Is that wrong?!?

Something woke me up at 4 this morning and I couldn't fall back asleep (until it was time to really get up, then I could have gone back to sleep!). It was kind of nice knowing that I didn't have to worry about waking her up too, but there's not much to do at 4 am especially when you've left your book out in the car.

But today's not all bad, it's the monthly potluck lunch at work and I made these cute mini cheesecakes and it's killing me to wait until lunchtime. I did eat one last night because I had never made them before and I had to make sure they wouldn't kill anyone. :) And it was YUMMY! I probably could have eaten the whole batch.

a little dissapointed...

Roommate was going to be out of town this weekend but I just found out tonight that she isn't going now. I am really dissapointed. Now, don't get me wrong, I love living with my current roommate, she's not crazy, doesn't stink up our house with her smoking and numerous other things past rommates used to do and we get along really well, but I was so looking forward to having the apartment all to myself.

I get to spend Friday Night at Friday's Kids, so it won't be all that bad. :) I just wish it was going to be a little warmer this weekend. I could go read my book at the park (the book for bookclub that I haven't finished yet and bookclub is tomorrow!)
