but with a long list. I accomplished much of it.
Christmas decorations and tree are down. I still need to put some stuff away. Most of the dishes are done. Treats were made and donated to orchestra fund raiser on time. Intentional movement of 25 minutes! Did paperwork for the business. Now I am blogging. I even watched something fun... I have been putting that on my list more frequently lately. I watched a documentary called "The Ladies Sing the Blues." A lot of people like Bessie Smith the best, but I think I like Billie Holiday. Bessie really had the blues - well, so did Billie - but Billie's voice was so rich and full. I think I just like the style better. I also like Ethel Waters. She also had a deeper voice. It seemed she almost had a charmed life compared to the other two, however...
I need to start researching a little more and some more of the modern women of blues.
Michael was in Ohio at a Science Olympiad Invitational; 32 of the best schools in the midwest. I think his team came in sixth? fourth? He placed in all his events: second in remote sensing, sixth in fossils and maybe third in Physics Lab... I'm not good at remembering all those numbers.....
Since I have shifted to making a list daily instead of only on weekends and doing it on paper instead of here I have used up two notebooks. I am excited because I only have two more pages in this notebook and then I can start my Mickey Mouse one from my Christmas Stocking. I love Mary Engelbreit, but I'm ready to change. Also, I like fresh and new things and I have spilled things on this and stuff as I have used it. I'm not the world's neatest person...
It's almost 1:00 and I am going to do maybe one more 20 minute work session. That ought to finish up the dishes and most of the kitchen. Then I will go to bed and sleep peacefully, with no nightmares and awaken refreshed at approximately 9:30 am, correct?

Interested in your interest in these ladies. Did a research project/paper on them in college. Will have to dig it up & share. Jennifer
It would be great to read your paper - a lazy way to have some of the research done for me. We know how much extra time I have these days to pursue a new interest. I am not sure what got me going on this. I have been listening to "House of Blues" pretty regularly and one week he did a special show on the women and I think that set me off. Noe I def. need a trip to Chicago to the House! When it's warm you and I are going to paint the town blue, girl!
