Pay the bills from now on. Side note: I need to see the first Sherlock Holmes movie, because I saw the second one last night and it was awesome. Today, I'm going through old clothes (both mine and Nick's) to decide what's moving with us to Denver (and I have to keep it to stuff I'll actually wear, which is tough). I have old prom dresses and I don't know what to do with... My mom asked if I could pick out some things that I don't want to send down to the girls, too, but I feel kinda bad because I'm not sure they'll fit them and a lot of them are kinda ratty. So I'm not sure how much I'll end up sending.
I also have to consult my brother as to the whereabouts of the Christmas gifts I gave him to take down to them -_-. I keep putting it off because I'm not sure whether he'll say he did take them down, which he didn't, or that he just forgot them, in which case I'll have to see if he's going down there again any time soon, because I can't afford it atm. So... maybe I'll do that.. this weekend... Anyway, that's all I've got for now. Lunch is almost done in the oven! :)

Where I stand
I read somewhere recently that you should keep a diary and write in it only good things, so that's what I've decided to do. I guess I'll start with where I'm at writing music. So far, I've got one song with just a piano part written, but I'm still working on how to record it. We have to connect the mic to something else and then put that in the mic jack on Nick's computer so we can get all the clarity it's supposed to have, and tomorrow I'll be home alone for a few hours before work so I can take over his computer and do some experimenting with it.
I'm hoping to have that one recorded soon, as well as beginning the vocal part for my second song, which I wrote the intro for earlier (or at least something like what I want it to be, I'm not sure if I'll leave it as it is yet). I've got the piano part almost completely worked out, but I'm not sure if I'll want to add additional elements to it yet. I've still got a lot of experimenting to do.
That's all the music news, so what else is good. Hmm.. Well, here in the next few days I'll probably start cleaning up the apartment so I can start kitty-proofing (not to be confused with kiddie-proofing, which is what a coworker thought I said the other day). We should be able to bring Spectre home at the end of May or beginning of April, depending on how he's doing. I'm really grateful to my sister for letting me have him after she's raised him since he was a day old, I've been wanting to have a cat again for such a long time.
Also, I suppose here pretty soon we're going to be apartment searching in Denver and trying to set up transfers to the store down there. I keep going back and forth over whether or not I want to try to get a team lead position down there, if any are open. I don't want the responsibility, but I have the experience. Or maybe I should look at working in the bakery or deli, I think they get paid more too... We'll see, I guess.
Really excited to start getting this second song put together and getting stuff recorded. I'd like to be able to put my music up where my family and friends can hear it. I hope they'll like it, anyway. Well I guess that's about all I've got for now, til next time!
