Heights Vocal Music Concert

Tonight we got to enjoy Kaitlin's singing with the Concert Choir in the Heights Vocal Music Concert. They spent this past Monday in Winfield, performing at Southwestern College. We got to hear the songs they performed there. They sang three songs: 1) Music Spread Thy Voice Around, 2) Shenandoah and 3) Laudate Pueri. They also sang "Joyfully Sing with Pleasure" with the Mixed Chorus. Corby joked that we never know any of the songs they sing in these concerts, though tonight we did know "Shenandoah" and "Oh Dear! What Can the Matter Be?". There are a lot of talented singers at Heights, and we're proud that Kaitlin is singing with the Concert Choir.
Kaitlin also got the keys to her "new" truck tonight, though she doesn't officially get it until tomorrow evening. Our neighbor needs it to drive to work tomorrow, but they are headed to Texas after work. Since Kaitlin has to work at 4, and none of us will be home before they leave town, they signed the title over to us tonight and gave her a set of keys. She's more than excited! I will post pictures sometime in the next few days.

We had a good visit with mom last night. We usually visit her on Saturday, but since we're going to Oklahoma this weekend, we decided to visit her last night. She was eating dinner, but managed to talk the entire time she was eating! In fact, she talked non-stop for an hour and a half! It's wonderful to see her so animated and happy!

Well, Corby's Cubs lost last night, and as I write this, playoff game two is just beginning. It will be another late night, since they are playing in Arizona. I hope they win, because I hate to be in the same room with him when they're losing!

I am currently reading "What Matters Most" by Luanne Rice. She is one of my favorite authors, and I am enjoying this book.

And tonight's quote, fitting for the music theme: "In a world of peace and love, MUSIC would be the universal language." -- Henry David Thoreau

Isn't This Gross?

Corby lets Muffin drink out of his milk glass. Isn't that disgusting? I love animals, but I sure don't share my drinks with them. YUCK! Brandon will be home tomorrow - on his 19th birthday! His last final is at 12:30. Corby & Kaleb are headed up to help him bring his stuff home. I was planning on going, but because Hope is out on medical leave, I can't take off. That's okay - I really wasn't looking forward to carrying his stuff down 7 flights of stairs! YIPPEE - MY BABY IS COMING HOME FOR THE SUMMER! Does anyone else out there love "House Hunters" - the show on HGTV? For some reason, that show grabs me. I like to see the 3 houses the couples (sometimes singles) choose from. Of course, most of them have a lot more money than we do! Saw one last night that was a young couple in Chicago - lived in the inner city, but with 2 kids decided to move to the suburbs. Their goal was to find a house for under $1,000,000. That a million dollars folks! How can peop...

Terrible Day

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here, but suffice it to say that I had a TERRIBLE day at work! I made a huge mistake costing the company some revenue, and I feel awful! I certainly didn't need anyone to get on my butt, because I was kicking myself for the better part of the day. I know, I know, I'm human, but this was a BIG human mistake! I hate to admit that I'm human! HATE TO MAKE MISTAKES - ESPECIALLY BIG ONES! Okay, that's it. I'm having a margarita and trying to relax now. I'm done with being human for a while!
