Just wanted to let everyone know that my home computer has apparently been infected by a virus, and is out of commission for the time being. :( My Internet access will be spotty until we get it fixed. So, if you need/want to reach me, call! Hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving...
We'll be leaving later today to go to Springfield for Thanksgiving, and I'm really looking forward to being with my family and stuffing my face. :) I can almost taste my sister's sausage stuffing and my awesome pretzel-topped sweet potatoes!
I want to take this opportunity to say how thankful I am for my friends, including the ones who read this blog. You guys know who you are, and you know I love you! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, full of warmth, family, and yumminess...
I have just created a new photo album on Facebook, with 25 photos from August-October, including Halloween! Here are a few of the photos to pique your curiosity. To see the entire album, even if you don't have a Facebook account, simply click here...
There was once an actual salamander in my Dad’s slipper (His house is in a rather wooded area and is a haven to many non-human creatures.), and my best friend and I thought that would make a great children’s book title. We never wrote the book, but I figured I might as well put the catchy phrase to use as my blog title. Why not? (We don't know for sure if it was really a salamander vs. some other kind of lizardlike creature, but we were going for the alliteration. Artistic license, ya know?)
I'm a 35-year-old woman currently living in small-town MO. I'm from Springfield, MO's 3rd-largest city, and I'll hopefully reside there again in the summer of 2010. I'm currently a stay-home mom to my 6-year-old son, Nicholas, but I'm also a classically-trained soprano, and I still sing in choirs when I get the chance and have the occasional paid solo gig. I'm also a certified group fitness instructor, and I teach a body sculpting class at my gym, in addition to subbing for other classes (like step and yoga) as needed. I consider myself pretty intelligent and well-educated (Bachelor's in vocal performance with a minor in German), and have sometimes been known to have a deep thought or two. :) I might even have some worth sharing. Most of my posts, though, will probably be more mundane, superficial ramblings about my daily life. Stay tuned, and let me know what you think! (Could I BE more long-winded?) :)
