slackin' away in blogland
Just thought I'd check in. I'm on a sort of spontaneous blogging semi-hiatus. I've been reading you alls' here and there but not feeling inspired to post. I will say that life is good these days. Life is very, very good.
Oh, and that the concerts with the community chorus I joined while doing the AW are happening this weekend. I'm not particularly moved by the piece, but we're performing with a full orchestra and some kick-ass professional soloists, which is cool. I'm glad I got inspired to join: all this rehearsing and fruity singing is making me feel more musician-y again. And it's just so nice to do a concert in May, with flowers and lush greenness exploding everywhere. It even takes me back to some happy high school memories. I do love being on stage.
Oh, and I had a nice little email exchange with my friend and dream bandmate (that phrase is rather cringe-inducing, but it's concise), the one who is moving back to this area for awhile starting this summer. He once again mentioned in a newsletter that he and his wife, who will be sharing a professorship at a local university for a year, are looking to start an American music ensemble open to anybody. I told him I really wanted to join. As I suspected, he's not positive the school will be okay with nonstudents in the project, but he hopes they will be, and he'd love it if I can join. Thank you, AW! This is such a sweet little synchronicity for me. So easy; so not a big deal. AHHH.
Still haven't painted a wedding gift vase, and the alloted practice time quickly draws near a close. Must get on that. Will take photos to share. Over and out.

Wish I could come to your concert! Ahhh, yes, high school memories...
I'm happy to hear life is very good! I ditto teri and wish I too could come to your concert. By the way - I love the photo of all the shoes from your previous post.
