>>> Pardon if this a dumb question, but are you talking about (national) defense?
Yup.
>>> I get a caffeine addiction to just smelling that coffee! LOL It always smells so good, just like Krispie Kremes! LOL
The one food-related job I've had that I *don't* minded smelling like! LOL. Some mornings I function purely on the fumes.
>>>I am a SAHM who homeschools my kids. I am taking Master gardening classes and I am playing the trumpet again after a 15 year break. So I play in a jazz band and a classical wind band. Before marriage I worked in the musical instrumet business traveling around to different parts of the country. I loved that job. :)
Duh, I should have realized you were a SAHM, you mentioned the homeschooling in a post. I have a LOT of respect for SAHMs... I would *never* have the patience or strength to stay home, even with the one child.
That is so cool about playing in 2 bands. Kudos on picking the trumpet back up! I'm a pianist but haven't played in, um, coincidently about the same amount of time as my son's age. Our piano is in our basement - the only place we could put it, we have a tiny little townhouse - and we rent out the basement, so I just don't have the access, even if I had the time. I think I'll eventually MAKE room for it in the dining room or something, I'm going crazy without my Rachmaninov. I love jazz but just don't have the ear for playing it... too many years of classical have ruined me. :D
I sing too (mezzo), but the only singing I've been doing lately is bedtime singing with a child on my lap. No lullabies for him though, he gets to hear mostly Peter, Paul and Mary and U2.
