I have been playing flute and piccolo since I was in 7th grade. I played in college (I was a Music Theory Major for a short time), but had been out of it for a while. So last fall DH and I (he plays baritone, but they needed a trombone for this group so he plays that too), I guess in October/November we joined. We both love playing and are really happy about this group. And DH made a real impression on his section, and his section leader asked him to join a swing band (on trombone)... which we both love that music... so he also does that now too!
As far as the throat, I think I might have slept with my mouth open part of them time... I hate that!
I think it is only natural for you to 'not feel sorry' for him, that whole ha ha ha feeling!!! I think it is part of the whole getting over him phase!

Its so neat that you guys do something like this as a couple. When is your first concert? I played the trumpet for about a month in junior high. I liked it but was more into sports and didn't like to practice.
I think its ironic that he sprains his ankle now because his behavior changd when he started going to the gym all the time. Now he can't go for a while. haha
I was wondering why I was feeling kinda strange this morning. Then I realized its because I had a dream about my brother last night. It was the first time I've dreamed of him since he passed away. We were going for a boat ride, then out to eat before he was going to move away. I've been reading about dreams a lot lately because I've been having quite a few in the past weeks. The night before he died, I had a dream about twin babies, one was pretty big and the other was really small. I don't know if they were mine in the dream but the small one ended up dying and it bugged me all day, enough to tell my boss and co-workers. Later that night when we got the call, I just felt so guilty that I'd had that dream because it was almost like a sign something was going to happen. I know I had nothing to do with his death but I just feel that something/someone was trying to warn me something was going to happen. Do you guys believe in dreams and their meanings? Sorry this got kinda long.
We had several in December and rehearsals just started up again at the end of January, and our first concert of the year is in a few weeks (mid March).
I think dreams tell us a lot about ourselves, our fears, joys, and even as a coping mechinism when we just can handle it during day light hours.
My heart goes out to you, I have no experience in dealing with the lose of a sibling, only with relatives (grandparents, aunts, uncles, and a very young cousin).

The zoo is actually New Orleans. LOL I didn't go to Mardi Gras. I haven't been in 3 years. There really isn't a point unless you are going to drink and get tore up from the floor up. LOL Smoking is a nasty habit to start hon. It took me forever to quit and I still have side effects from it years later. Oh it isn't bad at all to not feel bad that he sprained his ankle. I would feel good. LMAO I do believe in dreams. I think they say something to you. I am sorry you are having a rough time. HUGS
Sl,
Forgot you used to live in La. =0) Oh the weather here sucks too. That is neat about the lady at the orchestra. We all need a support system.
Is it too late for me to join? slhightower told me about all of you wonderful ladies.
Well right now I feel like crap. I have major ovary pains, my head hurts and I hace a stupid yeast infection(sorry TMI). I fell so fat and totally unfeminine. I really want to lost weight but I'm too lazy to do anything about it. I'm right at 6 ft tall and weight 270 lbs. I wear a size 20-22 depends on what time of cycle. Right now I have gained 8 lbs in 2 days because I'm holding water. I'm TTC and going herbal. I'm starting to think the herbs are causing some of my problems. This is only my 2nd month. Sorry If I'm ranting on and on. I just needed someone to talk to. Thanks for listening, I guess I could say reading.LOL

I'm so glad you made you way over here... Man, I wish I were 6 ft., I am a measley 5'2"! And trust me, we all at one time or another don't feel real feminie... THANKS PCOS! But vent away, that's why we're here and it's called self-image daily thread.
Princess,
I grew up in a small town and the Mardi Gras parade and celebrations where not nearly as rucus as New Orleans... and that is what I miss! Man, I remember in school making little floats and walking them around the school.... ah the good old days.

I just got back from TN. I said goodbye to my brother. I feel much better now that I got to see him.
I think this will be a quick post cause I have not been home very long I just wanted to say hey.
Missy, i think its good that your ex spraned his ankle....Thats what he gets for being a poop head. lol. Your dream about your brother might have been some sign that he was making to you. He might of been telling you that he is with you throu this breakup.
Well, I have not checked the bank so I dont know if I should be pissed at my fiance or not.lol but Sunday he put all my fav. cd's in the disc changer and did not tell me. So when I hopped into my car I got this sweet surprise. It' the little things that matter so much.
I will post more later, I just wanted to say hey.
Oh STORMY, welcome. There is so much support here we are all so chatty. (esp me! lol)
well hugs
de

LOL I just read my other post and had to laugh. I ranted on and on plus I spelled several words wrong. I guess I needed a good laugh. Sometimes just putting feeling into words makes people feel better. It worked for me. Thanks.

Welcome Stormy! Feel free to rant on and on. I do! lol Hope you feel better soon. Water retention is the worse feeling ever. Everything is all puffy and bloated. UGH!
Denise, I didn't think of my dream like that! When I read your post it brought tears to my eyes. Thats probably what it was, him being here for me. I hope your brother stays safe. I wish I could have said goodbye to my brother before he left us.
Princess, I can see why you would call that place the zoo! OMG those people go nuts! I used to always want to go there for Mardi Gras but now I would just end up with a headache! haha
sl, do most of the children that come up for adoption come from abusive/neglectful homes? Or parents that just want to give them up for adoption? Have they been in the system for a while? Just curious.
Yesterday the "ex" bf and I talked for a little bit. I called him to ask about his ankle sprain. I could hear the JOY in his voice when I called. I kept it short and professional just to let him know that things are okay between us and there's no animosity. We are going together on a work trip to San Diego in less than three weeks. I am kinda nervous about it as I know we will spend lots of time together.
No of course it's not too late for you to join. I totally understand what you mean about feeling totally unfeminine. I get that way sometimes. It sucks. I hope you feel better soon. I really hope the herbs work for you. Sending you babydust!
Sl,
Oh my goodness ya'll had shoe box float parades too? Nobody else would know what we are talking about. LOL
Dede,
I am so glad you got to see your brother. That was so sweet about him putting the CD's in there. I hope he isn't still messing with the money. Did you ever get seperate accounts?
Miss,
Oh yeah it is a zoo. Thank goodness it is over. Maybe things will get back to some semblance of normality around here. Traffic has been a nightmare. I know you asked sl the adoption question but I wanted to put my 2 cents in. Our social worker said most of the kids are in foster care because of abusive situations. The next biggest group is in there b/c of voluntary giving the child up and the one after that is death of parents without other family to take care of the child. Some children are in there a while and some aren't the time varies. Older children tend to stay in the system longer b/c there is a smaller group of ppl willing to foster/adopt older children. Hope I helped. Oh that sucks that you have to go with ex on a trip. I agree with dede he sprained his ankle cause he is a poopie head. LOL
My update:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ok now that I'm done screaming I'll tell you why. I have my neice until Sunday, I'm trying to clean house, and pack. It is alot to deal with plus she is teething and sick. Jeez. I'm so tired. Anyway enough whining. I'll feel better Saturday when I go see my house. It will be finished!!!
Princess, moving is so exciting! It is a lot of work but you won't remember it after you unpack and just sit in your brand spanking new house and smile. I feel so bad for little ones when they aren't feeling good.
Got my period today. It was a 28 day cycle! First time in years that it was right on, other than when I was on the pill. I hope it stays this way because I am almost positive I ovulated this time too!
Going on the trip with him won't be so bad. I don't have any hard feelings toward him and I don't think he does to me either. He just needs to get his baggage bagged up and tossed out or put far, far away. He told me yesterday that he missed me and that I was his best friend for the past six months and he misses that too. I am not considering going back by any means but I am open to trying again down the road if he gets his poop in a pile, but I won't be waiting around to scoop it up. hahahahahahaha
You guys are crackin' me up! All guys are poopie heads.. just varying degrees of stinkiness and size of piles!
As far as the kids that our agency works with... primarily abused/neglected. There is a rare occasion that they were pulled from the home before something happened... in one case a lady gave birth in prision and the child was put in foster care the next day as was later adopted from a family with our agency... so techniquely no abuse occured.
