Ahhh, Memories.....

On Saturday some friends and I went up to SLC and saw 'My Fair Lady' at the Pioneer Theater. It was great. The actors did very well, the costumes were fabulous, and they all had good sets of pipes, which is always a must have in a musical. I was slightly distracted during part of the play however. When Eliza Doolittle is singing her little heart about how long she could have danced for, my mind had wandered off into memories. The familiar words took be back to my freshman year of High School and to the all girls choir. We sang a medley of songs that Mr Lindsey mashed together himself on two of them came from 'My Fair Lady'. I have very fond memories of choir, but we had the most awful choir outfits that year. I think most of us in the choir have suppressed the memory, but let me just say- the pants! Oh my the pants. The concept was good in theory, but the fabric we ended up getting was not stage appropriate. We looked as if we had on black garbage bags. It was really bad. Not to mention the next year we had the dresses that wouldn't wrinkle. Anyone remember those??? Ah yes, fond memories indeed!

Ode to a Mushroom

Disclaimer: this post will have nothing to do with mushrooms, just liked the title.

I had a fantastic Sunday!!! Even though I was incredibly sore- I walked a 5K on Saturday while walking my brother's dog, bad combo- I had a really great day. The highlight of the day after having my visiting teachers come, going to a commitee meeting, and church was choir practice!

Now I love my ward choir. Am slightly biased I will admit but I think it is one of the best choirs I have been in. I believe what really helps is 1) we have guys that show up and know how to sing and 2) most of the people in the choir have been in choirs previously so they already know how to read music.

We haven't been having choir practice in the summer because lets face it singles ward, no one is there in the summer, so we picked it up yesterday after a dry spell. I have been practically giddy all week because I knew that choir was happening on Sunday. My happiness was not wasted either! It was a great practice. Our first number we are going to sing is a fabulous arangement of 'I Need Thee Every Hour' and let me just tell you, I almost cried. We have new people in the choir and some of the tenors were amazing.

So I am happy! Not quite as happy as man happy, but pretty close.

Hair Pictures

Here are a couple of pictures of my new haircut. Hope this works! They aren't terrific, but you can kind of see the highlights a little.

Hair

So I cut my hair. It is now supper short and spiky. It is also now a dark brown with purple highlights! Picture to follow when I figure out how to post one, am slightly blog illiterite.

Mornings

I am really not a morning person. I would much rather stay up late and watch movies, talk on the phone, date, all that fun stuff. However, I have to get up at 5 in the morning in order to get to work by 6:30 so staying up late doesn't happen very often, and my morning starts very, very early. Now I say 'get up' because I am not really 'awake.' The waking up process doesn't start for about an hour, usually while I am driving to work, or on days like today, during the first couple of hours of work. I am kind of rambling, but that's ok cause I am really tired and have to stay awake for class tonight. Hopefully the diet coke will kick in soon!!!

Laundry Day

So I hate folding laundry. I really don't mind washing or drying the laundry, but I really, really, hate folding it and putting it away. More often than not my laundry will stay in the clothes hamper until I need to put it on, then it will be transfered to the dirty clothes hamper without ever seeing the inside of the dresser. I don't know where this aversion came from, but it is there. We have machines to wash and dry the cloths, so why not have one that folds them too???
