Awkward!!

So here is the deal - I work at a music school...not just any music school, though - I work at MY BROTHER'S music school. Pretty much, I'm going to do the best I can with my job and make sure everyone else is, too. There was an issue with one other teacher. We've butted heads a few times (in one day) about policies, she's broken the dress policy, and she missed a lesson without telling us beforehand. Everything that goes on at the school goes onto a Word document and gets e-mailed to my sister-in-law (she pretty much runs the business)...not because I feel like it...because that is what I was told to do.

Pretty much, I got this girl fired....then, she spoke with my sister-in-law and got herself unfired... that's cool with me. I'm just a little nervous about tomorrow when this girl who I got fired comes in to work. I'm thinking its going to be awkward. I'm afraid she thinks that I singled her out or something and tried to get her fired...but I didn't do that...I just reported things to my boss like I was supposed to.

Do I feel bad? .......No....not really. I believe in rules. I'm not the one who broke them and I'm not the one who wasn't doing what I was supposed to be doing. I just am afraid she's going to hate me from now on....I guess that is what I get for being the office tattletale.

I Know Nothing

So I recently realized that my entire wardrobe consisted of solid colored tee shirts, a black wonder tee, a white wonder tee, and jeans. This annoyed me a little. So, I went to the last Value Village half off sale and tried to buy things that were cute and NOT solid colored tees. I came out with some striped things, some button up things, some cute sweater....and then the other day I realized that I don't know anything about fashion! What the heck am I supposed to wear with a green and white striped tank top, or a grey v-neck sweater? I have no idea! I'm used to matching a solid colored tee with a white or black wonder tee with a pair of jeans.

No worries, I found a solution! Leslie Beecher recently introduced me to Pinterest.com, and what I do is I go to Ronae Norris's "What To Wear" board or Megan Lindblad's "beauty & fashion" board and look for a something I can work with, haha. Apparently I suck at being a girl. Thanks to everyone else for having a sense of style - so that I can mimic the things you say are stylish :-)

Green and white stripes were my problem - this pic from Megan's board helped a little :-)

Weight Loss Comopetition

So - I totally did NOT win! But I lost %.046 of my weight. I started out at 152 lbs and a month later ended up at 144.8 lbs :-) I'm so excited! ......even tho ugh I lost. I can't believe Andy lost 12 lbs!!! How did he lose 12 lbs? He's......skinny and muscly....I don't understand! Grrr....... now I need to gain muscle so I can kick his butt!

This isn't a current picture - it's from last Christmas.....its the picture that makes me wonder where Andy lost 12 lbs, lol.

Well done Andy - next competition though....you are SO going down!!!

Family Pictures

So, we took family pictures a few months back and let me tell you - I did not enjoy it one bit!! Haha, Cael was going crazy the entire time and it wasn't helping that I wasn't allowed any time in between pictures to calm him down. Oh well - luckily we had Misty as our photographer! She did such an amazing job, you couldn't even tell he was throwing a fit in SOME of the pictures. I know some of you have already seen these pictures but here are a few of my favorites:

New Job

Ok - so its not so new anymore - but it WAS new in August :-) I need to blog more often! So I am now working at Family School of Music. For those of you who don't know, my brother and sister-in-law (Spencer and Michal) own a music school on the South Hill here. Well, I'm the secretary! I know it isn't anything cool like an instructor or anything, haha - but I actually love being a secretary soo....it works for me! I totally love it! I do the scheduling, the registering...I take payments, I answer phone calls and e-mails...I send the invoices, I clean, I update the website... I do pretty much what I'm told to do - and I think I'll be taking pictures soon to post on the website and facebook page. Anyway - I'm happy.

So....if you ever feel the urge to take music lessons come see ME at Family School of Music - tell ME that I sent you and I'll get you a coupon for $10 off the first month, lol.
