The One Before the Concert

Hey, everybody! Phew! You know, I really thought that I would have time to write another post before now, but I have had no time at all! I did have yesterday evening off, so I was excited about getting some of the stuff done that has been piling up around my house this week. And by stuff, I mean clothes. Seriously. I lost Bear for a while. I finally found him and gently pulled toward the food and water bowls so that he would not expire only to realize I had picked up a sweater.

Never did find the dog, come to think of it. Oops.

Oh, I'm kidding! Come on, it was a joke!

Anyway, so found myself with time to do laundry last night. But I went to sleep instead. After dozing off in class twice yesterday afternoon, I decided to spend my time catching up on all the sleep I have missed this week. Sad, right? Notsomuch? What if I told you that I dozed off twice...in the same class. Certainly made time pass more quickly and luckily, I don't think I was snoring. ;-) Sorry, Chad!

Anyway, I finished with two tests today (Diction and Musicianship Part 1) and I just have one more to go (Musicianship Part 2). Then I have one more class (Poli Sci. Ug.), then dinner at Dock's (never been there before), and finally a concert! Yikes...not much on the sleep-o-meter today! This is my second concert this week, like I think I told you before and it should be awesome! I will try to put video up, but since I will be on stage, no promises! I wish you all could come see it. I have decided that all of my friends should move to Texas. And to Cali when I take off out there. We'll just get a really big house, cool?


Does that make me a selfish person? :-D

Anyway, I hope you all have a spectacular weekend because IT STARTS TOMORROW! WOO HOOOOOOO!!!

The One After Spring Break

Current Mood: Tired
Currently Watching: The Suite Life of Zack and Cody

Well, hello everyone! So here I am safely back in the tiny little city of Waco. Spring Break was a lot of fun and I hope you each had a wonderful time doing whatever it is you were doing too! I always love taking off for Colorado. Crested Butte is SOOOOO gorgeous (as you saw below) and there are few places I would rather be. But I am glad to be back here. Mostly. It is nice to be sitting at my desk with Bear asleep beside me while the rain is POURING outside. At the same time, this all serves as a reminder that the week starts tomorrow.

This week is going to be killer! My schedule is positively booked solid all the way through Friday. At least I have had a week off to prepare for it. I have classes, tests, papers due, songs to sing, counter-points to write, data to enter, books to read, concerts to give...the list goes on! There are a few up-points though. For one thing, the Celebration Singers (the senior adult choir from First Baptist Dallas) are down here today and tomorrow for the Baptist General Convention of Texas, so I will get to see Grady AND here them sing for the first time. Plus, if he is around long enough tomorrow evening, he will get to hear me sing with the Concert Choir too! Yeah! We also have our spring concert on Thursday and it looks to be awesome! If you would like to come, PLEASE let me know, I would love to give you directions! The concert is free and is at 7:30pm. Then, after all that, I have an UBER-exciting celebrity weekend that begins on Friday!!! But I will tell you more about that as the time comes.

Now downsides to this week....I don't have a tux for either concert. Hee hee hee. I have already talked with the director and we have worked it out, but it still irritates me a tiny bit. Also, I do not have the pieces from last semester memorized like the rest of the choir....because I wasn't in it last semester! Details, details. ALSO....my house is an absolute DISASTER! I did not have time to clean ANYTHING before I left, so it is really a horrible mess. That always hampers my mood a bit. BUT, if you would like a laugh, I have one for you. The kitchen is in such a state that there is not a single clean glass anywhere.

So I took a big long drink of water from a bowl.



HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I KNOW! How classy am I?! What makes this worse is that I do not know when I will have time to clean, so the house may just have to stay this way until NEXT week. Hahahahaha. You SO do not want to live here right now.

And on that note, I must say goodnight. Hopefully, I will be able to write more throughtout the week, but if not....HAPPY WEEK AFTER SPRING BREAK!!!!

The One With Pictures in the Snow

Hey, everybody! Just wanted to write a little hello. I hope you are all having great Spring Break! Just so you get a better idea of why I LOVE this place, here are a couple of pictures I took today. If I can get enough together, then I just might build a new album. We'll see....

This is our house. Don't let the mustard colored paint fool you, it's nice! Really, I promise. Maybe someday we can have an inner circle ski trip. Won't that be grand? Just need plane tickets from Los Angeles, Houston, College Station, Canada, and Waco. No problem. ;-)


And this is the coffee house next door that makes some of the best Chai EVER! Knocks Starbuck's out of the park. Today it is snowing again so you can see just how gorgeous it is all the time! I really like all the license plates on the walls. The buildings here have such personality. No store chains here at all! Actually, they just openned a Wells Fargo morgage center, but that is the only unoriginal business in town. LOVE IT!


So, are you mucho jealous? Good! Then when I invite you up here next time, you better say yes!! Have a good afternoon!
