My family and various friends start rolling into town tomorrow! YAY!! For so many reasons YAY!!!! And I'm off to bed at a decent hour -- or maybe not if Adrian calls....

I need out of the house. Going to see a movie. Or maybe just eating, or coffee, or something. Ciao

Oh I had a wonderful day yesterday after all....well actually the day sucked, but my rehearsal went very well! My high note that I didn't tell my voice teacher I was putting in blew him hout of the water. YAY!!! High notes make it all worth while. I did forget words in a couple of places, but I doubt I'll do that on sunday because there will be plenty of breaks in between song sets to gather thoughts and remember words. And of course I'll fun through the whole thing a few times before then. And I got my bed back. Mom had been sleeping in it, and I was not sleeping well on the floor of my living room. So I got a good night's sleep -- after I finally fell asleep. I was so excited about my rehearsal that it took an hour or so to wind back down. Off to the shower and then to choir...blech!

In a slightly better mood this morning, and as I read over my last blog I recalled some advice I gave to my sister when she was offended that her boyfriend's roommate would play offensive music even though he knew she wouldn't like it. "Drea, it's not your house. It's not his job to sensor his music just because you're there. If you're that offended the only thing you can do is leave." So, Rachel, if you're that offended, the only thing you can do is leave. Which I did. Sorry about griping about it last night. I was tolerably out of line. Still in a bad mood though. And I want waffles for breakfast and am out of syrup.

I have my final dress rehearsal tomorrow night. Must get up tomorrow and memorize the last piece. And practice my high notes. They went smashingly today, but tomorrow will be different. I'm sure it will be fine. But I must sing one good high note every day so that I'm confident that I can.

PS. I hate having friends who are perfectly content to watch the sex call in show when I'm part of the party and they know I'd rather not. So once again here I am at home having beat a hasty retreat at the advent of a discussion on anatomy and certain unpleasant odors associated with various body parts....lovely. So worth our time. Amazingly though, I turn off my Christian radio station when I get in the car so as not to offend them...why does it not go both ways do you think? Sorry, I'm in an abominably bad mood tonight. I have just finished watching Bridget Jones Diary -- arguably one of the most depressing movies in the world for a single girl. Somehow I doubt that Colin Firth (Or better, a Mr. Darcy of sorts) is going to come around the corner and fall madly in love with me as I make an utter fool of my self. Likely story. I'll see you when I'm in a better mood.

Oh yes, the tension has started to build. Only a few more days until my recital. Am I ready? I think so. My dress is done. I'm almost finished with all of the red tape...etc. My music is memorized, but not to the point that I'll zone out and lose my place. Now all I have to do is come up with some vocal inflections and a little bit of drama up there. We'll see how that goes!

I have a dining room table. I actually ate on it. After two years of eating in an armchair, in bed, or on the floor...it was a nice change! It's beautiful -- drop leaf and old! Now I'm avoiding studying for two tests. One midterm, and one test that I simply forgot about. Guess my late paper will never be turned in...I have to get it done. Maybe after my recital

Mom's here. Suddenly my house is clean and I have a plethora of groceries.
