well, at 12:00 p.m. we got the news that our prayers have been answered. the highways have been opened. we are no longer confined to our tiny little house with limited music and dvd selection and diminishing food supply. with this news alex and i both eagerly got ready for our day, showering, eating and scheduling work for the afternoon. finally we are set to leave and i open the door and am blinded by the light from the hot sun shinning on the thick carpet of snow at our door way. it took about three minutes to walk the two feet to get to the car. we push the heavy snow off our car and then try to leave. our car can go no further then four feet on our drive way, the snow is too heavy for our little car to push through. so, here i am, back in our little home,writing another blog, feeling excrutiatingly restless.

Cabin Fever
today is day three of the snow storm. highways are closed yet again. another day of no work. this is may for goodness sake. so, our unexpected vacation fell on our two year anniversary, that's nice. it's also nice that we can't be tempted to go out for supper to celebrate.
so, bordom and lazyness is setting in. yesterday i slept 10 hours at night then woke up, went to the living room and sat in a chair for a few hours then went to my bedroom and had a four hour nap, woke up drentched in sweat, made supper, watched ferris buhler's day off then went back to bed. today i woke up thinking it was may 20th, worte a bunch of panicky e-mails to people, then i realized it is only may 13, i'm a week ahead. so, i had to write everybody back and admit that i'm an idiot. i blame it on being in a very small house for three days straight with no fresh air, but i know that i make these mistakes all the time, there is no excuse for my flightyness. alex says if i didn't stress so much i wouldn't panic about everything.
so, today is a new day. i am determined not to fill my day with stress. and maybe i'll be a bit more productive.

well, it's been a long time since i've tried this blogging thing. quick update; we are out of school. alex is working pretty much full time doing stuff, i have started a new job at scarlatti's this time as their baker and i also still work one day a week at the restaurant in virden.
so, it's getting to the point in my degree where everyone starts asking "so, what are you going to do when you graduate?' i hate this question, not because i don't have an answer, but because i feel like my answer won't satisfy everyone. what is the satisfying answer? "well i think i will practice a minimum of five hours everyday, do some suzuki training, teach a bunch of students, take out another loan so that i can travel all around the country doing auditions for major orchestras. if i get in to the orchestra then me and my husband will pack up everything and move. Because i'm a woman and i've worked hard on my degree and have done very well and i will not let five years of school go to waste so that i can have kids." so, what's my real answer. "i think i will keep on baking cheescakes at scarlatti's cause it's fun, i sure would like to be a pampered chef consultant, i'll learn how to make paska and hot cross buns and maybe someday soon i will start having a bunch of kids and then i will be a stay at home mom." that's the answer that makes me feel warm and cozy inside the other answer just makes me want to kill something.
