Last night of Opera Scenes: So yes, they're over tonight! YAY! I have to get pictures so that I can use them as a partial portfolio. I also need to include pictures of all the recital dresses I've made. I'm off to the theater!

Favorite Ever-so-Girly things:

1.Pedicures and Manicures -- especially if parafin wax is involved.

2.Coconut and Mango Lotion that I had made at a specialty shop in California -- heavy on the Coconut

3. Indecence by Organza by Givinchy -- my only scent!

4.Oil of Olay Moisturizer

5.Clove and Evergreen Epervescent Bath Ball

6.Lash enhancing Mascara...almost any variety! Except the Gloopy ones that give you "tarantula eyes."

7.Wearing socks to bed full of lotion.

8.Caress Silkening Body Lotion -- spring Blush Scent.

9.Bath and Body Works "Sweet Pea" lotion....there are a lot of lotions on this list!

10. Yankee Candles ... the best scents are French Vanilla, Buttercream and Macintosh Apple.

11.My Cinnamon Candles hand made in a specialty shop in Calvert Texas -- actually smells like Red Hots.

I actually did homework this morning. Like, before the actual class. Watch her not decide to have us turn in our homework for a change! I have to spend from 3-9 this evening doing alterations for Opera Scenes. My *fabulous date* stood me up last night -- I'm not so dissappointed because I was so exhausted yesterday I coudln't imagine having to make myself look pretty and carry on a coherent conversation. I took a nap instead

Did I mention that I just want this year to end? School is out in less than two weeks. TWO WEEKS! I only have two finals -- one of my classes has a final project due....but that's about it. I only have to orchestrate a piano piece for full orchestra -- very complicated, but as long as I get my transpositions correct (darn clarinets) it should be easy sailing. I'm off! Talk to you guys all later!

Teri, you'll be proud of me, I'm going to get ice cream....even if it isn't wednesday!

I don't want to do costuming tomorrow. Its going to be an all day proposition.....I just want the school year to end!

Oh I can't wait for school to end. I don't care about my classes, I don't care about my tests....I don't care about my finals....I just don't care!

Happy post-Easter! The services are over! The cloistering is over...I learned so much...so very much! And I had my last day at my church today. It was very sad...Ive almost convinced myself that I shouldn't have left....but logic tells me that in a few weeks I'd be frustrated again if I stayed. So Now I'm going to bed. I was up at 5 this morning. Too darn early!

This is not a premium time to be blogging, since I've been to La Fiesta and had a margarita or two .... small ones though...anyway. I'll get through the first part of my date anyway. His name is Tarus -- pronounces Tor - us (kind of like the car). Took me forever to figure that out because he didn't live his name on phone messages....I was almost to the point of sending someone to the bank to "set up an account" just to figure that one out for me. SO we went out to Chinese. They had Pepsi there - which totally made my night. Besides the date of course which made my year. He showed up late, but called me immediatly to let me know he was bogged down in work. I played snake on my phone to amuse myself.

He was very easy to talk to. Confident, well dressed, handsome in a conservative way. He did want to know what I thought of inter-racial dating. I wasn't aware he was from another planet, although that would be pretty cool. Obviously I was there, wasn't I? He's a Christian -- Church of Christ background. HIs mother owned an antiques shop, he has a huge family. He thinks I'm exotic. To a banker I guess I would be...or at least my profession would be. i'm pretty stodgy in my "old age." Anyway. We have a rain check to go out again, but it's going to have to wait until after Easter since I have a million church services between now and then. I'll write more as I think of it -- but surely that will hold you guys off for a day or two!!!! I'll try to post again before my Easter mania!

I had a date! A real one! Its so exciting! And I had a blast! And I can't stop using exclamation marks! And he paid for dinner, and he opened doors, and he was easy to talk to -- and he complimented ME not my dress or my highlights! Quel concept! Anyway! More about it later! I have a test to study for!

Trivia of the day: What does the word "mizzle" mean? Any Guesses?
