play it cool

hi!!!!

don't worry guys, i nailed the church "audish." peter was super impressed with my vocal range which apparently spans two octaves! who knew? certainly not me!  i hope to get a solo soon but in a good song, not this past week's closer "ezekiel saw de wheel." really? i couldn't say "de."  i just couldn't. every time i just said "the" and whispered it quietly.  i'm very much enjoying my new friends at choir.  one of them reminds me of a male version of the gothy asian chick from glee but only he's not gothy. (so he's just asian). so far he has worn a different color sweater vest every sunday and it's only a matter of time before i tell him how much i appreciate his choices. i want to be his best friend but i have a tendency to come on too strong too soon so i'm trying to play it cool. this is me playing it cool:

me: so how long have you been in choir?
sweater vest: a little over a year now....
me: wow that's awesome, you must really like it!
sweater vest: yeah i like their style here.
me: me too, it's cool like yours, I WANT TO BE YOUR BEST FRIEND!

i'm half kidding when i talk about my aspiring solo vocalist dreams at church. i say that because i realize that church isn't about that and not everything has to be a competition, christi! grrrrr.

feeling good about monday!  every sunday night i write a list of goals for the following week and tape it to my door, so i see it as i leave to start my day.  i wish i were kidding.  today i met all my goals, which is great! great start. i thought i was having an acute heart attack around 9 tonight while babysitting. on red alert i text my boyfriend and was relieved to hear that it probably wasn't a heart attack but more likely a muscle spasm. i don't have many of those (muscles) so i'm not familiar with what it feels like when one spazes.  no me likey. but i stretched it out so it's good now. close call guys!

well i've got to go moisturize. i'm almost finished with my second anne lamott book and although it's not on my "goal" list, i really hope to finish it tonight.

randy jackson forever,
