The past few days...

Have been amazing!!!!

My choir got to perform in ACDA. ACDA does NOT stand for any of the following:
Actually Charismatic Dead Animals
Antelopes Carelessly Drink Acid
Ama Can't Do Acrobatics
OR
And Cheeses Don't Act

It stands for American Choral Directors Association. They chose the top 4 choirs on the west coast to perform... We were one of them!! YAY! I'm still learning the music so I was freaking out. BUT my friends came to see me :o) AF, L, AS,and R! That meant SOOO much!!!

We sang the following songs....most of which you've probably never heard.
1) Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
2) Dona Nobis Pacem (J.S. Bach) in B flat
3) Psalm 57 composed by MY director, John Tebay
4) Te Lucis Ante Terminum
5) Io Son La Primavera
6) My God is a Rock

We did pretty well on Tuesday but we screwed up the words to Io Son and My God is a Rock. So on Wednesday, we tied up the loose ends and ROCKED IT on Thursday for our performance in front of a whole buncha choral directors from all over. Being able to perform at ACDA is a HUGE honor because it only comes around once every 2 years. There's a reason this is my career...not the blogging....the singing...STAY WITH ME HERE, WILL YA?! There is this indescribable feeling you get when you've moved someone with your singing. I can't even explain it. *dreamy sigh* :o)

Wednesday was good too...It had its trials, of course, but the good parts outweighed the bad. I went to school and found out that I actually did pretty well on the Spanish test I thought I'd bombed. Then went to choir and sang and sang and sang and sang...then went home, worked out, mowed the lawn, showered, and met K at Starbucks at 5. He said it was so pretty outside and he had been inside all day...So we went to the park! We played on the playground....no, there were no children there....that would be weird. And we played and swung on the swing set and played on the teeter totter...then walked around and threw sticks into the water and beat each other up...let me just tell you... I haven't had that much fun in a VERY long time!

then we went to the mall and grabbed a bite to eat and walked around there a while. Upon which time, I was molested by a chair in Brookstone. It tried to hold me hostage! We played the "In my pants" game at Borders..I'll explain so it doesn't sound like some horribly inappropriate game...well....it's mildly inappropriate. M told me about this game. Basically, you take any book title...and add "In My Pants" to the end of it...and it's hours of endless laughter, I assure you.

Then we went into Pottery Barn. Ladies....don't ever take a guy in there....they just don't get it. OH! Williams Sonoma either...don't take them there. Lol ANYWAY...Pottery Barn had a really nice living room set up so K and I went and sat down. All of a sudden...K has an ADD moment and goes "OOOHHH!! A $2,000 chair!!! I wanna sit in the $2,000 chair!...." So he sits in it and looks all dramatically comfortable...then he says..."I need a pipe............and political aspirations." Oh my goodness! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time!!! It was hilarious....

I was trying to think of what note on which to end this blog....
