So I am a member of the Tifton Choral Society and we are doing a Sept 11 Memorial Concert. We are going to sing Saint Saens' Requiem Mass and Bach's Dona Nobis. I just found out today that I am singing the alto solos in the Mass and I am freaking out a bit.
So, no promises about the quality of my performance two weeks from now, but if you are in Tifton and available, you should totally come to St. Anne's Episcopal on Sunday afternoon, Sept 11th for our concert. It should be (mostly) great! :-) I think the concert begins at 3, but I may not be remembering that right. I wlil have to get back to you....

blah
Ever just wake up in a bad mood? Perhaps something that happened right before you went to bed or even something you dreamed about put you in a bad frame of mind and you wake up feeling emotions that you, frankly, can't really explain and can't seem to shake? Well, that's today for me. Things have been so unbelievably busy recently that I feel like I have had no down time. No time for me and Jeff, no time to really play with Ben. No time to get all my work and/or housework done. I'm overwhelmed with crap I should be doing and completely underwhelmed by my desire to actually do it. So, all that to say -- Pity Party at my house!.....ughh, but then I would have to do all that stuff I am too overwhelmed to do, so, never mind.
Ben started his Pre-K year at First Methodist Preschool and I am so excited for him! He has really enjoyed his class so far and seems to be making friends (not that I was worried about that) with some of the 10 kids he did not already know. There are 14 kids in Ben's class total and he already knew three of them from last year, which is always nice - makes the transition a little easier, I think. He is excited about going to Kindergarten next year and, although it's a year away, he talks about it almost every day. He has decided that he is very grown up. :-)
My parents moved to Alabama over the summer into my Great Grandmother's old house. It's a great house and great property and I know they will be happy there. We are bummed that they went from being only 2 hours away to now being about 7 hours away, though. (it's really only a 5 1/2 hr drive, but by the time you make a few stops and eat a meal, its seems like 7 is what to expect for total trip time). We have already had a fun visit to Greensboro and hope to go again in the next couple of months. With it being such a long trip now, it seems like we need at least four days in order to have enough time there and to make the drive worth it, you know?
Yesterday we went to a Farewell Party for our friend Knox Brown who will be leaving next week to go to grad school at UCLA. Jeff and he are great buds - kindred intellectual spirits, so to speak - and he will be missed. I think Jeff wishes he could go to. This is such an exciting time in Knox's life and its easy to think about how great its going to be and wish for that time back in your own life. Once you are married and have kids, life changes, whether you like it or not....mostly you do like it, but there are always those moments..... like when you hate your house, your job, yourself, and your life in general.
My coupons are a disaster from being out of town so much this summer, but my goal this week is to get them back in shape. I got a new binder to inspire me. We'll see.....
