Cuteness

Hey kiddies. I haven't made the blog rounds in a while...but luckily, I'm not the only one! This is definitely the busiest time of year. Finals, graduation (congratulations Courtney, and anyone else who is graduating unbeknownst to me).

This is also the big end-of-the-school-year orchestra concert season. I've gone to a lot of junior high concerts and heard music from Pirates of the Caribbean and/or Harry Potter at every single one. It has been exhausting. But it has also reminded me that little kids are quite cute.

Today, I gave a sectional at a school, and as I was walking through the halls, I saw this very little 6th grade boy with angelic blond hair and blue eyes, standing at his locker, singing in a very cheery voice, "We're not gonna take it/No, we're not gonna take it/We're not gonna take it anymooooooooooooore!" He made Twisted Sister sound like Little Orphan Annie. It was the most adorable thing ever.

Then, a little cello kid turned to me and said, "Hey, sometimes, my C string sounds like the noise the machines make in War of the Worlds." He proceeded to play his very scratchy, buzzy string and say "Ahhh! We're being attacked by aliens!" I didn't have the heart to point out to him that it sounded like that because his bow was horrendously crooked.

Speaking of things that are super cute, look at the AMAZING iPod cover I got for 50% off at Borders!



That is the one good thing about having a first generation iPod nano - no one else in the world has one, so the accessories are always on clearance. Woo hoo!

SOOO cute! I love the cover. I am so saddened that I am unable to make the concert. Hopefully someday. I hope to travel as much as I damn well can this summer,so I promise I will haul my ass down to see you, and force you go do something with me.

Butter the cut sides of the squash and then place cut side down in a shallow pan in the oven at 400 degrees for a half hour to an hour.
