Amazing how such a short week could end up being sooooo long.
Auditions before school every day = -4 hours of planning time
= several broken hearts because I can't take
everyone (even though I wish I could) :(
Back-to-School Night yesterday = Regular school day + 5.5 hours (13.5 hours
at school)
Annoying (but not for too much longer) commute = 1.5 hours daily * 4 days
= 6 hours spent being stressed in yucky
weather/traffic/inconsiderate drivers
Starbucks gave me the wrong size beverage = -$.65 (not counting tax) that I lost :(
(I know I should have said something, but I was so exhausted and unhappy that I did not even want to bother.) :(
On the plus side, class sizes are smaller than last year (with one exception), Westley will be arriving soon for a visit (yay!), we have a cake-tasting appointment tomorrow, and I don't have to wake up before 6am tomorrow. *sigh*

Productive Weekend
After driving several hours (including a bonus extra hour) in the direction of holiday traffic, I visited with Westley (who traveled a few hours as well) and his family. This weekend, we:
*Booked our honeymoon (3 nights in a rural cabin, in a state whose motto welcomes newlyweds)
*Bought wedding invitations from Michael's ($65!) ... hope that it's easy to figure out how to print them on my printer ...
*Bought a bed (although we're gonna read Consumer Reports before buying the mattress, etc.)
*Celebrated Westley's birthday with his family
*Contacted the photographer (contract should arrive today)
*Contacted potential DJ & cake people too
Then Westley and I drove back to our respective homes... Again, he had no traffic issues (yay!), while my drive took a great deal of extra time thanks to all the considerate, intelligent (*cough*) drivers who were traveling in the same direction as me. (Oh, and the heavy rainstorm was nice too ... and when Westley and I read Psalm 68 aloud last night on the phone, I started cracking up when we reached verse 9: You gave abundant showers, O God; you refreshed your weary inheritance.)
