I'm suffering from a malady I call Hallowaise, which is a cross between malaise and Halloween. Also it sounds like a bagel spread. At any rate it's been a week of busy-ness and emotional minestrone here in Jenna-land and I was ready to blow off some steam. The evening began with a kickass yoga class taught by my darlin' Valerie. She puts the ( Read more... )

What the hell, I can squeeze in a yoga class and preparing for guests, can't I? Of course I can. I'm glad I caught Val's class, since she's rehearsing for the Croatia festival this weekend and can't come over. We hug and laugh a lot after yoga.

Sari put together a choir for Pastor Kaleb's Easter service on Sunday and we rehearsed last night. I'm excited to be a part of it!

Eep, Choir rehearsal kicked my butt. We're down to four performers but our songs and harmonies are solid. Also, I came home to find a jury summons and the Honeycomb smelling of stove gas. Eep!

At least I have a date to see The Dark Knight (if we can get IMax tickets) or Hell Boy 2 tomorrow night.

Beautiful! The Choir has just left my humble Honeycomb, amongst the lightening and thunder, where we sat in the garden eating, drinking, laughing and singing. The conversation about the performance later this month was challenging but I think we arrived at a good place: we will bring the values of the Bicycle Choir-- celebration of music, breaking ( Read more... )
