Geez!!!

So, I’ve put a bunch of pictures on my computer, cleaned up the color in Photoshop and was all ready to upload the first batch in my gallery when I find that there is something funky with my Gallery and it won’t let me upload anything!!! Gives me an error message. I guess I could try to upgrade Gallery, seeing if that helps to fix the situation, but I can’t find documentation that’s not techno-babble to help me upgrade. Why can’t people give technical information in English???? Anywho, if you have knowledge of Gallery and can help me with this, please email me or leave me a comment here. I think something got screwed up in fixing that “virus” message thing a few weeks ago. Maybe I can call ol’ Mark at iPowerweb.com and see if he can help me…. *sigh*

I’ll upload the pics to my web folder and try to blog that way at some point this week, or maybe this weekend, or maybe next month. 😉

THE Trip

In a few days, we’ll be taking our Wind Ensemble to Chicago then Indianapolis for the Bands of America National Concert Band Festival. I’m really excited about being able to go and even conduct the band! Getting this trip together has been a little stressful but now that it’s here, I’m just anxious to get going. I’ve been to both Chicago and Indianapolis but never during this time of year so I’m concerned about not having enough warm clothes to take. Luckily, we’ll be indoors quite a bit so I should think about taking things to layer with. While in Indianapolis, BOA has asked that everyone (kids included) dress business casual so no jeans are allowed. Coming from Austin, that’s actually kind of hard to pack with! I will wear jeans more often than not, even to work, but I have dress pants so I’m definitely safe.

Okay, enough with this brain dump. I really do have a lot to do before we leave but I do want to get in some “me” time…these few days before the trip being my Spring Break and all. I still have laundry and packing to do, as well as clean up the house so I don’t come back to a dump. So, I hope that if you get some Spring Break time, you take time to enjoy yourselves. Drink one for me on St. Patrick’s Day and have a great week!

*cough, cough*

Is the virus gone from my blog now? Sorry about that…. 😦

——————————————————–

Turns out it really wasn’t a virus – just some bored person who hacked my ftp password (now changed again) and added a line of javascript to make it look like there was a virus there. I’ve scanned and scanned the files several times to be sure. No virus on my computer and now no faux-virus on my server. Thanks for your patience.

Like The Tonight Show?

I was privileged to be a guest host of the MontBlog! It was a bit nerve racking and I don’t know how Daniel does it everytime….

I giggled through my entire viewing on his blog!
