Today, I was at a parade and a famous mascot clown complimented my hair color. Before the story progresses further, please know that I am terrified of clowns. This is a story in that it is not a story. I died and panicked inside kept completely cool because I am way too old for tantrums for the benefit of the crowd of child parade spectators.
The end. That’s my story.
Oh, and it happened not five minutes after I spotted this mascot clown, told my friend I was terrified of meeting him, and we decided to avoid him if at all possible. Wonderful.
Maybe I’m growing up after all.
We’re off on vacation for the next ten days or so 🙂 it’s going to be lovely. We are almost halfway to our destination right now, and after a middle-of-tge-night driving shift and a nice nap I am enjoying the scenery of Nebraska as I write this. I know, I know – a lot of fields. But I’m soaking in all the green scenery I can, because Colorado is not really green right now. It’s going to be an interesting, but still fun vacation and I will share pictures as I am able!
Okay! It’s almost my turn to drive again – time to psych up and get my water bottle ready with energy tea 🙂

My Jeep Moya turned 185,000 miles old on the way home today, so this post is all about her! So far today, we took out her back windows, vacuumed her and washed her. Still to do: sand and reinstall her center dash panel (finally – it’s been out for months), fill her up with gas, and maybe an oil change. She’s a happy old Jeep. Pretty well- behaved, as long as she’s regularly maintained. Here she is! Yay Moya!
Hi! I decided to start a blog. I don’t know if anyone will read it, but to be honest I don’t really care all that much. This is just a fun thing for me.
So, here are some important things to know:
I have too much stuff running through my brain all the time. Congratulations to you…if you’re reading this, you’re in on my crazy brain party. *dances*
I like people, generally. Sometimes I just need to be by myself and decompress, though. I think it’s healthy.
I make music. Expect a bit of that to pop up here and there. It’s kind of an enormous part of my existence.
I teach music lessons. My students are awesome and hilarious and so very talented that it blows me away every single day. I’m proud 🙂 sometimes they leave notes and pictures on my whiteboard. I’ll probably take some pictures of the board and put them up here. What they leave me is too cute not to share.
I’m closing in fast on 25, and so far I find myself to be a VERY reluctant adult. Can’t I just stay a kid forever? Pleeease? I’m not loving this responsibility nonsense. Whose idea was that, anyway? I like working because I have a very fun job. I don’t -really- mind paying bills (I bought it, I should pay for it). I just miss the feeling of having nothing to worry about. At least, nothing like whether the car was about to break down and how bad it was likely to be and what kind of health insurance will I be able to afford in a year when I need to buy my own.
So, welcome to my crazy brain party. It’s mostly a pretty good time in here, really. Expect a hodgepodge of stories, pictures, drawings, musings, music, some rants (not too many), and good clean fun. I don’t swear much and I’m not a huge party animal, so if you’re looking for a super exciting life mine might not be it. If you’re interested so far, please stick around. It’s a pretty wonderful ride.
xoxo,
Caiti (the girl in the headlights)
