I'm an alto in denial
This happens every Sunday. After church I go to choir, where I sing soprano. But, every sunday it becomes clearer how much I need to switch sections. I’ve sung soprano my whole life, and I love singing the high notes. I just can’t do it as well as I used to. I keep finding excuses to not switch over, but I know one of these days I’ll have to, and I’m not looking forward to...
reevaluation
So, I’m the youngest of eight. And there’s only 11 years between me and my eldest sister. So, I know most of my family. Or at least I thought I did. See, this past week we had a family reunion, will ALL of us. This hasn’t happened in years. It was fun, but I looked at some of my siblings (and their spouces) with different eyes, and it caused some reevaluation. I’ve changed...
viva la vida
So I preordered Coldplays newest CD and downloaded it about 10 minutes ago. It’s amazing! I think I might stay up late, just so I can finish listening to it. The lyrics are awesome, and the music…oh, the music is beautiful. I love this CD. It is now my favorite. And I will listen to it non-stop for the next week. (well, probably not, but almost) This music makes me so happy. :^D
blogs?
I was all set to do a “My Favorite Monday”, where the favorite today is Summertime activity. I was going to talk about going to England. But then I decided if all I did on my blog was follow templates of others, is it really mine? Am I really writing down what’s me? Yes, I follow the guidelines. I insert a little blurb. But I didn’t come up with any of it. I’m just...
Friday Fill-In
1. Visiting all 7 continents (5 to go) is high up on my bucket list.
2. My favorite quote is
Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for power equal to your tasks. It’s from Phillip Brooks.
3. The writers of the 100 Hour Board that blogged inspired me to start blogging.
4. Strawberries are best fresh! With whipped cream.
5.For...
Weekend Sadness
So, my computer decided to rebel. Saturday morning I logged into my computer and all my preferences were gone. My documents and files were there (thank goodness) but all my settings were not. I even had to reload all my files back into iTunes. So, I work on it, and have a lot of my preferences back to where I like them. Then, I had to go to work. So, I shut down my computer. Sunday afternoon I...
Awkwardness and Regret
So, today was a good day. Mainly. Hopefully. I got the day off along with a coworker (afterwords referred to as bertha) and we decided to go to Lagoon and enjoy our freedom for one day.
Awkwardness #1 happened when I went to pick her up. I basically walked into a fight between bertha and her mom. I don’t like fights with parents, especially with moms. I just stood there as they yelled at...
book tag
Although I technically wasn’t tagged by name, they said that I could consider myself tagged if I wanted to be, and I’ve read a few people who have done this, and have wanted an excuse to do it myself.
The ‘nearest’ book to me is called “The Shining Ones”. Page 123 sentence 5 reads:
“Mirtai,” Stragen said with a pained look, “I love you...
money i don't have
So yesterday, right before I was about to start work, I received a phone call from my sister. Her friend, a Mary Kay consultant, was having a sale on Mary Kay things (25% off) and I should call the consultant, yadda yadda yadda. So, on my break I called her. And spent much more than I should have. Much more than I should be comfortable spending right now. Just over $100. On make up. Sheesh. And...
stupid customers
Since I work in a Deli at a grocery store, I work with customers a lot. I deal with hundreds a day. Most of them are polite, know what they want and thank me when they’re done. Then there are those who come up to the counter for ice cream and ask the dumb questions: “What sizes do you have?” “What flavors of ice cream?” etc. And, I have to explain these. I get used to...
my favorite monday - colors
So, since Chilly said we’re practically BFF, I’ve decided to do this “my favorite monday” thing. My favorite color is actually here: It’s more the color of the ocean than the sky, but that calm blue is perfect. By the way, if you ever have the chance to go on a cruise to the Caribbean, DO IT!! You won’t regret it, I promise.
