Lifes Like That

Finally after a couple of months of hounding the mail lady, my refund for my taxes was in the mail yesterday.  So I headed to the bank and cashed it right away.  I can’t take the chance that the government may have made a mistake. lol  So last night I headed out to the craft store to purchase more beads.  Thankfully it’s crafting that I’m addicted to and not drugs, or I seriously think I would have to admit myself to our nearest drug rehab center. But honestly, the only time I go on a major bead shopping spree is when I do receive extra money, so I’m not that bad yet. If I have to go without, I will. So I don’t think I’m headed to a “crafting rehab” center just yet.

Yesterday I posted that today I would be attending my daughter’s violin competition.  There were a lot of kids present and a lot of schools represented.  It was a very long day listening to each class play their selections.  But…the good news is, they won the GOLD!!  My daughter was so…impressed.  The kids worked really hard at learning to play the violin as well as learning to play these special pieces.  And for their efforts to be awarded this way, was just icing on the cake.  Now the competition is over, but she is still on cloud nine.  As this was her very first competition, coming in first was a major joy for her.  You can bet that she will remember this day for a very long time to come.  As will I.
