It's Been A While

Well, it's been about 9 months since I have posted anything, if anyone has read what I've posted so far. Right now, I think I'm going to turn this blog into a mixture of different things.

1. My work for graduate school. While I'm reading, I will post my thoughts and ideas here.

2. A place to keep you up to date on my music with Via Delarosa.

3. My family and happening with them. For more in depth discussions on this topic, go here (Melissa's blog).

Well, I completed mixing a rough version of a new song tonight, cut the yard, and am about to start reading A Lesson Before Dying. Tomorrow, I will have a more in depth post.



Juliette helping me mow the yard. Now if the little plastic toy would only cut grass for real!

The past few times we've been to Wal Mart, Juliette has pointed out this little lawn mower, that supposedly blows bubbles while she mows. We haven't experienced the joyful flow of bubbles, yet. Anyways, on our last family trip to the big blue box, Uncle Chad came with us. While Melissa was filling a prescription, we decided to take Juliette to the toys. Once we made it to the back of the store, she looked around, as usual, and I pointed her towards the $45 Little Tikes basketball goal. Her friend in West Monroe has one. I told her, "If you can carry the goal to the front of the store, Mommy and I will buy it for you." Well, she jumped at this proposition and preceeded to try and remove the oversized box and its contents from the shelf. I helped her place the box on the ground then restated my proposal. Uncle Chad, seeing Juliette struggle with the box, advised her to push the box. She tried, and failed. Then, Chad showed her how to push it forward. Needless to say, a few minutes later, we arrived at the front of the store, with the goal. However, when Mommy arrived, she refused to buy the goal, and I had to return the goal to its proper place on the store shelf, at the back of the store. Mommy did allow Juliette to buy the lawn mower though, and she was happy.
