Sorry about being MIA lately – to be honest I’ve had nothing to share and didn’t think I’d waste your time with boring updates. Of course, let me now say: prepare yourself for that very thing!
I’ve basically been concentrating on a few things right now.
1) Finding more freelance work. The main job I’ve been working on has kind of petered out – the guy has a lot more to do on his end and I can’t do anything more until he gets that to me. He did send me something last night, but it’ll take about 15 minutes to do. I have put in ten bids over the past few days for freelance work. Four were awarded to someone else (including one to a guy who bid $2 less than I did for the ENTIRE JOB – that burned). The bidding time for the others ends at various times over the next 1-2 weeks. A couple of them are long-term projects which would be awesome (by long-term I mean 9-12 months, 5-10 hours a week). I really hope one of those pans out.
2) I played keyboards at church this past Sunday for the first time in almost a year. It was fun to be up there again, even if I didn’t get to sing (which is REALLY the part that I miss). After practice last week I asked our music leader if he will be doing auditions again this year, and he said he doesn’t think he will. Just as well, I suppose. With me doing sound and childcare a couple times a month now, it would be hard to then add singing/keys.
3) Today’s mission is to clean the entire downstairs portion of the house. The ladies from my small group are coming over tonight for a women only study. So once I get done with Mr. Freelancer’s 15 minute task, I’ll be whipping out the vacuum and dust rags.
4) CootieGirl has been acting up at school. Six out of the past 11 school days she has been on every color BUT green (which signifies perfect behavior). Yesterday she was on ORANGE (which is one shy of WORST behavior), so once she was done with her homework I sent her to her room for the rest of the afternoon until her dad got home. She’s not doing anything terribly wrong – she’s just not focusing, or she’s being a distraction to others, and is getting marked down for that.
5) I’ll have a post about last night’s American Idol later today.
Good to see you back ~ I miss my daily dose.
Yeagh – I have been missing you too J. I like the updates throughout the day.
