Be Proud of Me
Better Do This Before Midnight:
So, you all should be very proud of me. I was up at 10:30am. Rick was knocking on my door by 10:50am so I had to hurry and get my butt going. Today was laundry day. I know, lots to do for something so simple.
Got to house, did my laundry. Turned out since Rick knew I was coming today he made Mom go and buy Kentucky Fried Chicken instead of going to Roadhouse to eat last night. I haven't had that stuff in ages. Yumm!! But shhh...we aren't supposed to tell Mom that.
Finished my laundry by 2:15pm and was home at 3pm. That is when I decided that I should prolly learn my solo for church on Sunday. So, I downloaded Finale Notepad back onto my computer. Spent the next 3 hours getting the solo down on the computer, and then spent 15 mintues going over the piece.
I've learned alot about myself today. I no longer have my lungs like I used to. I guess by stopping playing the clarinet, I can't sing longer phrases than four bars. Bad me. Plus, I can't project my voice like I used to, to fill the church. Turns out they had to mic me or have me cheat on phrasing. Micing was the best option. Now, I don't have to try as hard, and I now I'm not so worried about not being in tune.
Oh, for my friends, I won't be online tomorrow night. At least early anyways. Tomorrow is the night I've been looking forward to now for almost a week. It's my night to spend with Dale, Jenna, and Kyan. Dale is cooking dinner for the three of us, we're going to catch up, watch old videos of us playing and growing up, and then we're off to Babies R Us so I can get Kristin's baby shower gift. She's already having contractions off and on and she's not due til the 20th of February. Yikes...makes me wonder if she will have the boy on my birthday!
Speaking of....14 days til my birthday!!
