Laura had her Award Band Concert this evening.

Award Band is made up of 75 students from across Columbia’s six middle schools.

Originally, Laura was selected as an alternate, but moved up when a student had to drop out. Laura only got to participate in two of the four practices. She was definitely nervous.

The band played four songs and they sounded great. I am really proud of Laura for trying out and then doing her best!

I went to the doctor today because I am still sick and the congestion and cough will just not let go. I do just have a virus, but they gave me Prednisone to help lessen the inflammation in my sinuses. The doctor said that this has helped a lot of people to be able to get over the virus quicker. I will try just about anything right now…

When you spend $100 because you have a dead battery two days in a row and the battery is not that old and you think you could have a problem with your new alternator or a parasitic draw only to be told they can’t find anything, you drink wine.

I love Shutterfly “free season” as I call it. So far, I have gotten 3 wall calendars, a desktop plaque, a 5 X 7 notepad, playing cards, a reusable shopping bag, a magnet, and a Christmas ornament.
