AHHHH! Creepy! I was messin' around on Google and I discovered that you can search for "The Lights are on but nobody's Home" and find my blog! I find that intensely disturbing.

Perhaps I'm just crazy...well actually, i know I'm crazy, but that's beside the point...ah well....

*sigh*

What a day, what a week! I'm beat and I still have two days to go! And the number of things I want to do over break is growing at an astonishing rate! But first things first, last night's choir concert.

I must say, last night was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had in a while. The music, the fun, the laughter! It was awesome. While the lesser choirs were slightly...disappointing, our two most advanced choirs were stupendous. Expressions was simply marvelous, I can't describe how beautifully they sang. Pro Cantorum (the group I perform in) was also good. While I can point out some things we could have improved, I'm still wholly satisfied with the three songs we sang. The only disappointment of the night was the fact that Mr. Frick (our ailing director) was not even mentioned throughout the program. I think they should have said something.

Tonight I had a make-up piano lesson to attend and (due to the fact that I have had little to no time to practice) my playing was not all it could have been. But I plan on practicing intensely over break to compensate for my slackerness over the last few weeks.

Tomorrow is my totally cool party/let's go see The Return of the king shindig. I'm very excited, but I'm also going to be very tired, and my week doesn't come close to stopping there. Saturday morning I have to practice my choral music for the performance at church on Sat. night and Sun. morning. Then, after hours of concentrated practice, I have to go perform my newly memorized music in front of the multitude of people who attend GSCC. (Good Shepherd Community Church) Oi! I'm gonna drop dead as soon as I get home on Sunday.

If I don't post much after tonight, you'll know why. I will be in a coma and unable to type.

*groan*....tired.....

I am so very exhausted. I can't wait for this week to end. I need something to elax me...I think I shall venture off to my bedroom for some relaxing Pilates.

I'd also like to say that one should never doubt a full-blooded Texan with an accent and a large military to back him up.

I made delicious peanut butter cookies....mmmm...nutty goodness.

Sheesh, what a day. First I wake up to news that President Bush's military forces in Iraq have captured Saddam Hussein. (And people doubted old George!) Then our family heads out for its annual Christmas shopping trip at Lloyd Center where I spend over $100 in the space of a few hours buying presents for my family and friends. (okay, okay, so I bought myself a frame for Nathan's senior picture and some new jeans. Those pants were getting so old and stained, I had to get new ones! So sue me!) And I'm still on an emotional/spiritual high from the events of last week. Wow, I'm gonna go crash in a while. I need to rest. Happiness and shopping can really wear a person out! Plus I have an appointment with my orthodontist tomorrow at a most ungodly hour. Ah well, such is life.

WOO! I'm so happy! We received word yesterday in choir that Mr. Frick (our choir director who is in the hospital and has been for over a month) is now doing much better. He may be able to go home next month! Apparently Mr. Frick was bragging about our choir to his doctors and nurses. He told them he directs "the best choir in the state". Also, yesterday we found out that one of the songs we will be singing for our choir competitions has the altos singing the melody! (for those of you who are not choir geeks, altos are the women who sing the lower parts of the music, and it is very rare for them to sing the melody, hence we rejoice!)

I have o say, this has possibly been the best week of my life what with Peter's decision, Mr. Frick's recovery and that beautiful song. I'm on a n emotional high that's gonna last for months!
