It turns out that my substitute tutoring job was short-lived. I got promoted to a regular tutoring position! It's a very fun job and I'm having a great time, but it has caused me to have to re-work my schedule and this blog has rather fallen by the way-side for a while.
This morning I had this song on my mind. I've had this song on my mind for a while now. I was singing it in one of my dreams one night a few weeks ago.
We never stand alone!

Friday Fun
I'm so happy! Today I got my first paycheck for my new "substitutoring" job. It's small, but every little bit helps. Plus, I think my new job is really fun. I went in to sub again on Tuesday and the time just flew by. I'm hoping that I get to sub more during the next semester. Not that I want the regular tutors to get sick....really.
Here are more cards from Aunt Nell's box. The one below was sent to her from my Uncle Otto and Aunt Mary. Uncle Otto was my great-uncle. He was my grandfather's brother. I love that I had an Uncle Otto. His name is a palindrome! Palindromes are cool.
Today was The Boy's last day of school and he got home right before lunchtime. So far he's reported making nothing but A's on his final exams. He also came in 2nd place in the school spelling bee earlier this week, and 2nd place in the school book-fair. I posted a picture of him diligently working on that project here.

This afternoon I made a loaf of oatmeal bread. I'd post a picture, but my camera battery is having to re-charge. Trust me. It looks good and tastes wonderful, especially warm from the oven.

10 Random Things
Oh, that Matushka Anna. She's already gotten me back to my blog once this week and now she posted this.
Well, I think I can come up with 10 things that I've never divulged on my blog pretty easily, since I'm pretty much a newbie and I've been such a slack blogger lately.
Here goes:
1. I once spent an afternoon at a cocktail party on an Australian submarine in Pearl Harbor. I ended up as the lone female in the officer's mess with all the officers, who were very, very, cheerful and friendly. :)
2. I'm learning German along with The Boy. We are using the Rosetta Stone program. I can say "The dishes are in the sink" and "My brother is sleeping in the bedroom."
3. I actually enjoy watching old episodes of Dr. Who with The Professor and The Boy. We have watched as many of the old episodes as we can get via Netflix and we're all the way up to the Sixth Doctor.
4. I have lived my entire life in the South but I have never eaten fried green tomatoes and I hate grits.
5. I cannot decide on a favorite color. Most of the time I say my favorite color is red, but really I love red and yellow, pink, blue, green, turquoise, etc.
6. I've always wanted a yellow house in the country. With hydrangea bushes in the yard and climbing roses all over the place.
7. I love terriers. One of these days I'd like to have either another Westie (I had one many years ago) or a Cairn.
8. I've been to Hawaii 4 times! (I can hardly believe this myself.)
9. I am ambidextrous to a certain extent, which means I end up getting confused a lot. I write with my left hand and I guess my left hand is my dominant hand, but I can't use a pair of "left-handed" scissors. I sew and crochet with my right hand. We went out to play Frisbee the other evening and I was throwing the Frisbee with my right hand without even thinking about it. I also have a hard time telling my right hand from my left hand and I'm terrible at trying to give directions or read a map etc.
10. I quite regularly forget how old I am - partly because I have spent 6 years telling everybody that I'm 39 (Ha!)and partly because I really do not feel any older now than I did when I was 39, or 27, or 18.
