I Had Forgotten...

how fast the days go by when I am teaching full-time! Wednesday is done and done! Two more days and I will have my first full week under my belt. It's been an adjustment, but I am getting used to my new schedule and having less time to get the same amount of stuff done. Doing CDs as purge this week has been very helpful. Not having to decide what to get rid of has eased my workload in the evening. My plan for next week is to find 25ish items on Sunday, so all I have to do is take a pic, write a little something, and post it. The thought of finding 25 items in one day is a little daunting, however.  In some respects it feels like cheating, but I really want to stay on track with project...even if it means NOT literally finding five items every day.

I am so grateful to be a morning person! Getting up at 5:00 a.m. is easy for me, and it gives me quiet time to pray and read the weekly bible lesson. I cherish that time in the morning :) It is the only time I have complete peace and quiet when my husband and daughter are home.

My first student loan is due this month. I was worried I was going to have to apply for an underemployed deferment! Fortunately, the long term sub job happened at just the right time!! I should also be able to stash quite a bit of cash to get me through the summer months. One good thing about working all the time is that I never have the time to go shopping, lol!!

Alright, let's get to tonight's CDs, so I can move onto my next chore task.

1) Heartfelt Wishes ~ A compilation of Christmas music from Coldwell-Flaskerud Realty

2) Northern Seascape ~ Jim Wilson ~ A moving musical tapestry featuring piano, uillean pipes, irish flute, guitar, and cello.

3) Fantasia ~ Pavlo ~ I saw him in concert. He plays the guitar and some unusual stringed instruments if I remember correctly. Beautiful music and a beautiful voice.

4) Fred Simon-Teja Bell and Paul McCandless ~ Twilight ~ Jazz

5) Blondie and Pat Benatar ~ Back to Back ~ 5 hits from each artist...and nothing tops disco ;)

Remember, if you see something you can't live without, shoot me an email at penelopesamuel@gmail.com. I will gladly ship at my expense :) Thanks for reading!!
