Two very different days

I don't really understand why it happens, and please tell me I am not the first that it has happened to, but I go in spurts of extreme productivity and then I am done, finis, kaput! I am the Domestic Goddess herself one day, and the next I am not motivated enough to switch the laundry.

I have a few theories on this:

1. I am not at all meant to be domestic, for the simple reason that I turn into a bum for the next few days. Someone must be telling me that domesticity is just not my thing.

2. When I am on these Goddess kicks I accomplish waay too much. I should pace myself.

3. I am just newly married and not used to having all of these things to do. Don't get me wrong, I love having my own house to take care of, but I have never been in charge of the laundry, the cooking and cleaning. Plus I am in school full time.

4....as a continuation of 3.....Maybe someday I will learn how to be good at everything and then I won't have days like I am having today.

Seriously though, yesterday I did it all! I went to school. I taught lessons. I did homework. I did laundry. I made some pretty stinking delicious jambalaya. I cleaned. AND I made bread!! I was the DG (domestic goddess) herself.

You may ask about today. Well, um. I went to school. I taught an lesson. I took a nap. I pretended to study for a test on Friday. I put a load of laundry in, and haven't folded it yet. I watched 3 old episodes of Glee (freaking LOVE that show). And now I want to go to bed. What is my problem?!?

Hopefully DG will visit again soon. Maybe she will be in the mood to clean my toilet?

Putting it *back* together

I can finally put my house back together! We have had people here working nearly every day for the past week and a half. And the best part about it is that I have brand-spanking-new pipes! Hooray! No more fear of flooding, which happened. No more leaks from the upstairs neighbors cause their house flooded, which happened. No more ripping up carpet and industrial fans to dry everything out, which also happened. Now with my home covered in dust, Devin's clothes strewn about the music room, and everything from every closet in my living room, I can put it all back together. I am quite excited about this.

And here I am.

I have caved. I am reluctantly starting a blog. It isn't that I have anything against blogs. Quite the opposite, actually. I am an avid reader of other peoples blogs. I am just scared that mine won't be interesting, or funny. Most of all that it won't be funny. I have to say, I think I am one of the funniest people I know. But what if I am deluding myself into believing that and it isn't really true. I don't know if I can handle that realization. It would be a sad day for this Newt.

This is one of my favorite pictures of us

Here are some things about me. I have been married for very nearly 4 months-I know, it is practically forever-to Mr. Devin Davis. He is the type of person who lights up the room when he walks in. He is also the type of person who is good at everything he tries. A degree from the U of U in MLS (medical laboratory science), he sings, he plays the piano, he turns wood, he is practically Robin Hood with a bow and arrow, he cooks, and lastly-but by no means of any less importance- he just published his second novel. You can find it here...http://www.devinguydavis.com/home/ Basically, he is a super hero and I love him.

I LOVE this picture of him! So much.

I am attending Weber State University and I hope to someday get my degree in Vocal Pedagogy. What is that? I can hear you asking, it is a vocal performance degree with an emphasis on teaching privately. I am now taking students...if anyone wants voice or piano lessons. Just sayin.....

It is so exciting being where I am in life. Just starting out, making new friends, figuring out what the rest of life will be, knowing that I really have no clue about any of it. Life is divine and I intend to live it to its fullest. Come, enjoy it with me!
