Hello

I had a birthday back there. Photos of all kinds of birthday goodness can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=235141&id=512180343&l=505927bc07

I went to Milwaukee for a weekend, saw Fiddler on the Roof at Tosa East. Biked around on sunny days, cried on snowy freezing days. Drank at the Handlebar. Did crossword puzzles with Ben. Wrote songs for my songwriting class. Cooked omelets and went to restaurants. Loved the cat. Had stress dreams about the wedding.

Mucca Pazza is going on tour and won't be able to play at our wedding after all. It is a total sad bummer.

Status quo, hints of spring fever, attempts at productivity, money stress. Planning a trip to New York with Ben in May. I haven't had a real trip for a long time. It will be good!

Working on being more focused as a children's music teacher. Cataloging songs, looking for new ones. Had a fun song-trade with Mom while I was home. Working on planning the concert I'm playing with Jesse in a few weeks. Thinking about thinking about recording that kids album. Doing lots more thinking about doing than actual doing.

You should probably come visit Chicago.
