That was dreadful.

Today is Wednesday, and not Tuesday! I'm so thrown off. Tonight I have flute practice (our trio is scheduled for Sunday morning) and then Evan and I will go to Free Scoop Night. I see it's gained quite a following. :) Ice cream: bringing people together. It couldn't be a better night for it, since my throat is still hurting. I'm trying to stave off the full sickness with Sudafed, but since these sinus attacks come every 2-3 months now, I know the signs. One of them is that I lose my appetite and only want cold drinky things like milkshakes and smoothies. It's weird. Anyway, Free Scoop Night is my personal kickoff to summer. Yay!

One thing I like about my job is getting to open hotels in our database system. I only get to do it once in a while because it's really my co-worker's job. Once I open a hotel, I send a notification e-mail to both of our corporate offices...thousands of people! It's the only time I ever feel powerful at work. Helen says I'm famous because of it. :)

Myla has invited me to go to Music Fest with her on Saturday to see Switchfoot. Sister Hazel, Fuel, Collective Soul, and Journey are also playing (some of them at the same time). The tickets aren't too expensive, so I'll probably go, but I'm not as thrilled about it as I was in years past. Crowds of drunk people are not my thing. Plus, it's hard to get very close to the stage. I hate shelling out money and then getting stuck a mile from the band I came to see. Oh well...I still have time to think about it.



After last night, I think Diana Degarmo might win the whole thing. Her stage presence blows everyone else's out of the water. I still think LaToya's the most talented overall, but she has presence in a more elegant way. Diana's like a sparkler. :) I still love George, but he's not as wow as he was in the beginning. But what the heck was with Fantasia's Jennifer-fest? Now I hear this morning that they're accusing the show of racism? Good grief.

I couldn't resist this one.

Now, there's one thing I'll miss by not living in the city anymore...no Baskin Robbins in old C'field! :( (We do have a great ice cream place, though, so it's not ALL bad!)

Your flute talk is making me want to take mine back out but I have no idea where I'd play it now.

MusicFest sounds cool but I'm like you...I'm getting so I hate drunk crowds like that. Give me a show with nice seats and such. :)

I love Diana, but I don't think she's popular enough to win the entire thing. Of course, if the show were based solely on *talent* and not in any on popularity (*ahem* *cough* *John Stevens needs to go* ;)), she might have a chance.

My feeling is either George or LaToya. Twill be interesting to see!

My sadness is that I am not able to watch Tuesday night's performances because we have our baby classes then. :P But I do get to watch the flashbacks on Wednesdays, so I am consoled.

Do you guys have a community band or anything?

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yes...he needs to go. He seems so nice, but gosh, get in tune.

That's funny because I get to see the Tuesday shows but not the Wednesday shows! :)

[keepsmiling74.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately not, and our church isn't big enough to have a band, either. :(

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

That's too bad! Maybe someday you can start one. :)

Oh yeah, I made plans to go to Scoop Night with Dania. I wonder if she remembers or is still free? I would've forgotten if you didn't mention it.

I wasn't too impressed with anyone last night. Diana did fine, but none of the songs really showed off their voices much. It seemed to be more about performance than voice, and you just can't have one without the other.

mmmmmmmm Ice Cream!!!!!!!!

[mzspearz.livejournal.com]

& did you know Ben & Jerry's free ice cream day is ALWAYS the day before BR's? heh. I found out too late to go last night & was mad...I <3 Ben & Jerry's.
It's not close, but I'd darn well drive to go get it (plus the very large Virgin Megastore is in the same mall thing, so I'd have an excuse to visit, hehe).
*tsk tsk*
Next year for sure! Maybe then it'll be an ice cream weekend, haha ;D
