Heli's happy headhunt post (is headhunting vegan?) ;D made me aware of so many good things this week.
--Two of my students were afraid they wouldn't be able to study what/where they wanted because of their entrance exam results. BOTH get to study here in town, and do what they wanted. One future doctor, one future architect. Both young women of talent.
--Another student aced her English exams so she will finish her degree before the fall term starts. Whee!!
--And I am seeing light at the end of the weight-loss tunnel. Even if he did take away my cheese, at least temporarily!
Tee hee. Bow ties, actually.
I spent nine incredible hours at the piano today. I am exhausted, emotionally drained and physically quite tired, but good lord. I feel sosososo elated, and creative, and inspired!
As posted on the open letter thread, the raspberry seed in my wisdom tooth is gone. My faith community is VERY important to me, and a large part of my life. The person who has created problems for the last several years, pushing himself into prominence willy-nilly, suddenly "upped and offed" this week. No explanations, no goodbyes, no nothing. Having taken on a lot of responsibility, he has really left us hanging, but--we will manage.
I had been cutting meetings and services because I simply couldn't bear this obnoxious, self-important person any more. I can now return "home."
Siiiiigh.
So I go to a class today at work (Advanced Cardical Life Support renewal) and since it's still 90's here in Florida I'm wearing a t-shirt. It's says "factory farms are mean and nasty", but tactfully and sutble, an Herbivore shirt. The person next to me "are you a vegetarian?"...She was too and we had a nice conversation. She's been a vegetarian for years and so are her kids. I forgot to brag about this site. I rarely meet vegetarians around here and that was so cool.

Another good news: someone made and reviewed and liked my cookie recipe!! I was so worried about it not turning out for other people because I sorta guessed on ingredient amounts, but the person really really liked it! I got five stars!! Yayy!! :D
My band director is having us play a piece at the next concert of which about 1/3 is a piccolo solo. It's really easy, but it's like...all me since we have no percussion right now. I tell myself it's because I'm good, but sometimes I'm not sure. Either way, I love hearing my sound bouncing off the back walls of the performance hall. http://www.acousticdimensions.com/projects/pac/kennesaw.htm
I made soup for dinner.
I put up pictures for 2 recipes.

Well done you!!
I have trouble with the four basic operations in math, and failed Algebra 1 three years in a row, so *genuflexions*.
(Why they decided that because I am good with languages I would be good with numbers, I don't know.)

That's great news, db. If I lived closer to you that'd mean going out for drinks.
