MUSIC


It's been a busy week. Heights Concert Choir performed at Friends University last night. Kaitlin had to go to practice Monday night and all day Tuesday. Since she had never been to Friends, I drove her Monday night so she knew where to go on Tuesday (she's directionally challenged!). While she was there Monday night I took the opportunity to do some shopping - not one of my favorite things! I had planned to meet her and Corby at Quizno's for dinner yesterday before the concert since Kaitlin had about 2 1/2 hours to kill. Unfortunately, I ended up having to work late, so she got to have dinner with just her daddy! The concert was AWESOME! Honestly, I am only usually interested in her portion of the concert, but this was quite enjoyable. There were several groups that performed: Friends Concert Choir, the Derby High School Madrigrals, Cowley County Community College, the Friends Singing Quakers, the Friends Choral Union, and then there was the Choral Connections Festival Chorus (almost all of the performers) and the Choral Connections Mass Choir (all of the performers). Heights sang "Tambur", "Water Night" and the crowd favorite "Battle of Jericho". They received the loudest ovation for the last song. The Friends Choral Union sang "Praise His Holy Name" and that also wowed the crowd. The guest conductor, Eph Ehly, was so fun! He retired from the CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC, UNIVERSITY of MISSOURI-KANSAS CITY after 27 years of service, and he is quite the energetic guy! Kaitlin said he reminded her of Steve Martin. He was high fiving the kids and shaking hands at the end of each song. VERY ENJOYABLE SHOW! I didn't take my camera - I'm usually so far away from the stage that I can't get decent pictures. And of course, this time, I was in the 4th row and could have gotten some good shots. They gave each student one free reserved ticket...UGH!

Went to mom's quarterly care meeting today at Presbyterian Manor. Everything is going well, and she is now officially their "welcoming resident". She greets each new resident and tries to make their transition smoother to the care home. WAY TO GO MOM!

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!
