Three days in one post!

• I'm not sure I've changed much from last year to this year. Maybe you could say I have different students so I teach them differently or something, but thinking about it, I would have to say very little has changed about me.
• My favorite song. Wow. That changes with the day and mood and decade and all sorts of things. I love the soundtrack from the Man from Snowy River. I love Madonna's Crazy for You. I love Savage Garden's I don't know you anymore. I listen to Alanis Morrisett's Hands Clean quite a bit. Then again, I also enjoy Kelly Clarkson's Addicted and Evanescence's Call me when you're sober. Tim McGraw's BBQ stain and pretty much anything by Keith Urban. There's more but I'd have to call up my ipod for that.
• I miss my Grandma Hammond. She's been gone since I was about 12 or 13. Some days I think its really unfair that she was gone before I could learn to be more like her. She was definitely one service oriented woman. I miss sleeping over and watching Dallas and Knots Landing. I miss learning how to sew by making clothes. I miss squishing up next to her on the couch and never leaving because you'd lose your spot! I miss maneuvering around the phone cord that stretched through most the house because grandma was always on it. I have to wonder how things would be different had she been around longer. Not just my life, but the life of my immediate family and some others. There are many days on my job where I think of her and tell my students stories about who I learned to cook from and days where I could swear she was here with me because I do something that reminds me of her so much. I can always tell when she's been hanging around because my rolls turn out perfectly or I find a bottle of Tabu in some random store. I might say something by mistake like habit instead of habitat and we'll giggle and say we've got some of grandma in us. She is definitely one lady I can't wait to see again. :)
