Things Brian Doesn't Eat

Chocolate
Cherries
Green stuff (peas, salad, green M & M's and gummy bears {ok, that part I made up})

Feel free to add your comments:) I'm sure I don't know everything he doesn't like.

How does she do it?


I'm no Mary Poppins. When the birds started singing outside my window, 10 minutes before I was supposed to get up, I wanted to grab a BB Gun, not throw open the window and sing them "A Spoon Full of Sugar."

Update


So this is what Brian does at home with a bum knee. ------>
Uh, yeah, so Brian's feeling better, and I'm still gearing up for contest. Sightreading and rehearsal was great today.
This afternoon I had a chat with an AP from Peach County School Systems. Nice guy, fledging choir group (no one is enrolled right now-ouch!), but it's closer, and I'd have a conference period. And let's face it, anything you do in a new program looks fabulous to administration.

At the moment, I'm taking Brian's truck on April 13th and visiting Peach Co. in the morning and Putnam Co. in the afternoon. Then if Houston wants to throw their hat in the ring, I'm sure I can throw them a bone. (cross your fingers)
The plan right now is send a letter of interest to Houston Co. (the best county in Middle Georgia) and apply online for Bibb Co. (this one has mixed reviews).
That's all for now. Signing off, I am Jeanette

Midstream


So this font is "Georgia." Nice, huh?

I am beginning this blog for family and friends. It will never be a substitute for personal calls, letters, emails or even, "Let's do lunch," but there will be times when this is way more informative than Brian or I can be:)

With that in mind, let's begin:

I know that is considered bad luck to use your last name before it is legally yours, but so what!! It's just much easier to create the blog with our future last name. So breathe deeply, mothers, I am not trying to jinx us.

As of today, we are 68 days from June 2nd. I will probably be putting a ticker up somewhere on the blog soon. It feels like forever, but I've never been patient, now have I?

Goings-On



  • Brian had knee surgery on Friday and is doing well thanks to the Vicodan. It looks like his knees have been visited by the Italian Mafia.

  • I had a job interview with Putnam County Elementary 2 weeks ago.

  • Friday morning, Peach County High School called me on my office phone just as the bell for 1st period rang. Blast! I WILL be calling them back.

  • I had a job interview with Putnam County Middle School on Friday during my lunch break. They called Friday afternoon to offer me the job. The jury is still out on this one, gang.

  • Tomorrow I hope to make headway with Peach County. It's closer, and I might have a conference period, whereas with Putnam, well, let's just say there are more cons thans pros.

  • The cake and flowers have been decided on.
