everyone knows I'm in over my head, over my head
Hello, world.

I suppose you've noticed that my blog has been redesigned. Susie over at Bluebird Blogs did it and I abso-bloomin'-lutely love it! She did such a great job on it, yes?

The play was magical. Something I'll never ever forget. Friday was our best performance, in my opinion. Everything was cool and collected. I'm so sad it's over. I only got a few people to sign my program on Thursday. Everyone else needs to sign it THIS Thursday!

So! Thursday was super fun. Practically, dramatically, pragmatically, fanatically, oratorically, delphioracally, skeptically, dispeptically, romantically fun. :) After which my muscles were on fire. Had a really nice conversation with Rachel, Hannah, Scott, and Sally. Then practiced One, then went to do ensemble. My voice was SO tired afterwards! Mr. Boykin worked us hard that day! But it was fun.

Then! Friday I babysat for some friends of ours who have the cutest baby girl! Then came home and--I kid you not--lit a candle in my room from 7 o'clock to 10 o'clock. Yeah I'm pathetic. Really.

The Conservatory Showcase is in less than a month. I'm playing the Toccata et Fugue, accompanying Hollie, playing/singing in ensemble, doing the 2 high school songs, and *possibly* one more thing. "

Conversation with my niece:
Me: so what song did you like in the play?
Abby: The one with you in the pink dress and I love that song and I love that dress and I love Nicole and I love Nicole's black dress but I don't like black but I like that black dress and I love that song and I want you to give me that dress when it doesn't fit you cause it will fit me and I love your hair cause it's curly and I love Nicole's black hair and you look like the girl in the movie and I love that pink dress and where is that dress? and I love you and I love Nicole and Sam likes Hello dolly.
Me: ...that's great.

I love Abby:)

And I love 1-2-3 dip (which I am about to go eat).

Love you all!

Hi, I got to your blog through Susie at Bluebird Blogs. I adore your template, as Wicked is my favorite musical ever. :)

What play were you in?

  • If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber’d here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do not reprehend: if you pardon, we will mend: And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck Now to ’scape the serpent’s tongue, We will make amends ere long; Else the Puck a liar call; So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends.

  • Say what you mean, mean what you say
    so much of me is made of what I learned from you
    7 hours, 36 minutes...
    beauty in the changing seasons...
    age to age, and heart to heart
    Why?
    I think a face is dawning
    it's so wonderful as memories continue to grow int...
    once a day don't you wanna throw the towel in?
    so I lay my head back down
    Ignorance is bliss--cherish it
