Saturday, November 15, 2003Thanksgiving
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I actually had two Thanksgivings this year, and they were both fabulous. :-) Last weekend I went home to Florida and had Thanksgiving with my family. The whole weekend was great: Chris and I went to the movies Friday night, the beach on Saturday, Harry Connick, Jr. concert Saturday night (which was AMAZING!), on Sunday we had Thanksgiving dinner with my parents, brother, and his parents, and Sunday night Chris had an orchestra concert. A very busy and very fun weekend. Melissa came down from Boston this week to spend Thanksgiving here with me, and we did a lot of shopping, went to the parade, and had a tasty dinner with my friends Patrena and Nicole. She's on her way back to Bean Town now, and I miss her! We had so much fun together.
Her's the Friday Five for this week. How appropriate after hanging out with Melissa, the shopping champ! hehe
1. Do you like to shop? Why or why not? Yes, but it's frustrating when I can't find what I want, or don't have enough money.
2. What was the last thing you purchased? Sme new black shoes, I had to retire the old ones, they were falling apart.
3. Do you prefer shopping online or at an actual store? Why? If it's clothes I like shopping at the actual store, because they look so different on. Things like electronics are sometimes better to shop for online since there is usually a better selection.
4. Did you get an allowance as a child? How much was it? Yes I did, but I really don't remember.
5. What was the last thing you regret purchasing? Well, I bought a hair polishing product yesterday that when I opened it up turned out to be all melted, and that really annoyed me.
Busier Than The Bees That Make The Honey!
So yeah, I've been pretty busy lately. I'm playing in the pit orchestra for Hänsel und Gretel, and getting ready for my recital on Monday night. Very inconvenient timing to have the opera right before my recital, but oh well, I will survive. Here is what I am playing on my recital:
Carl Nielsen Two Fantasty Pieces
Walter Piston Suite for Oboe and Piano
Benjamin Britten Six Metamorphoses after Ovid (the first four)
Samuel Barber Summer Music (for wind quintet)
So it should be cool. Just pray that I play well and don't make a fool of myself, please.Here are the Friday Five:
1. Using one adjective, describe your current living space. messy
2. Using two adjectives, describe your current employer. eh, I don't really have an employer in the traditional sense. I teach music lessons.
3. Using three adjectives, describe your favorite hobby/pasttime. I haven't done it in forever, but swing dancing: exhilerating, fun, groovy
4. Using four adjectives, describe your typical day. long, tiring, busy, full
5. Using five adjectives, describe your ideal life. long, productive, rewarding, relaxing, and fun
