oneders

i'm making plans with my friend today to meet for lunch, and i told her i'd meet her there at "oneish." i, of course, meant around one o'clock.... but it reminded me of the tom hanks movie "that thing you do." if you haven't seen it, it's about a band.... and they initially name themselves the "oneders." everyone announces them as the oh-nee-ders, instead of wonders. hilarious.

anyway, weekend was fairly uneventful. i was so tired friday evening, that we ended up staying at the house. we watched part of the opening ceremonies for the olympics, and i took a 2 hour nap on the couch. hehe. we watched "a beautful mind" and also, "a knights tale." both i have seen before, but still enjoy them. sunday, bob and i went to church, as always. this week, they have had high-profile speakers come in each night of the week. i thought the crowds would be gone by sunday, but when we got to church.... there were people sitting in our seats. *gasp* we ALWAYS sit in the same spot each week. this was a bit traumatizing for me.... but i made it through. anyway, blah blah.

i am going back to school this fall to get music credentials. as some of you may or may not know -- i am a bit of a songbird. i sing, and play the piano... and am really wanting to do that for my big-girl job. (that= teach/play in a school/church.) this business thing is not for me. so, the first 2 courses are not offered at night (which is when i had planned on taking them.) i went to my supervisor today, and asked if there was a way we could work around the issue. the classes would be from 8-11:30 wednesday and friday. she is going to HER boss to see what he says about it. my company is all about improving yourself, but i don't know that they'll be for me wanting to get out of this business. hehe. so, if i have to list the courses or something... it may be a no-go. this, is where i need your opinion. this is something i want to do so badly, that i am willing to give up this job for it. if they say no, should i just quit? i have the job at the restaurant that i could up my hours and make enough money to survive. i might be poor for a while, but i think it would be worth it. do you think that is foolish?
