Sunday

Ohh my I can't believe tomorrow is Monday
the weekend went way too fast! Today was a long 5 hour music rehearsal and needless to say my voice is tired. This is forcing me to get back 100% in vocal shape, which I haven't been in for a while. After all of the holiday stuff I will get back with my teacher, get things realigned, and start forging ahead on the arias and roles I need to work on. It is nice to be in a show and have something in the evening...but I'm totally looking forward to coming home after work...going to the gym...practicing...studying and reading...and then going to bed. I know it sounds lame-but that sounds amazing right now.
My mom told me the other morning that she just bought some snow man flannel sheets for my bed at home...as a kind of nice incentive for coming home during Christmas-which of course I will anyways. At that moment I could just picture myself crawling into that warm bed...and knowing how much alike my mother and I are I appreciated the simplicity of that-she knew I would. Little things like that make me smile. My family will be coming to see the show...which will be nice. It will be weird because of the rush of the shows but good to see them. I had a long conversation with my best friend tonight which was much needed. He caught me right when I was doing laundry which was the perfect time for a distraction. We tend to jokingly wish things upon one another that we know the other person doesn't really want or says he doesn't want. Example...I tell him I hope he falls in love with someone who is just like me who can't make a simple decision about where to eat, what to buy, etc just to annoy the hell out of him. He tells me tonight that he hopes I meet someone and get married to them because he knows that right now my brain has been simply in "lets get settled and used to this mode." Again simple things like that make me smile...or coming home tonight and chatting with Mandy and hearing about her amazing date...or listening to Abba with the girls and laughing at how old we've become...or shopping in Macy's with Emily and singing Bette Midler's Otto Titsling. Ahhh the joys of life.
Totally random blog, I know.
