This morning our choir sang as backup to our Assistant Preacher's wife - a really cool gospel tune. It was actually a lot of fun, even if our parts weren't that complicated; it worked nicely on the whole.
It was lunchtime and there was a lot of hunger in my family. After a momentary debate on what to do, it was decided that we would head somewhere new...not much of a decision, but we went down Newberry Road, intending to find something eventually. We made it all the way to the town of Newberry and ended up @ Backyard BBQ there, which was absolutely fantastic! I had fried green tomatoes for (I was informed) the second time - definitely an amazing southern appetizer.
When I came home, I sat on my futon for a while just trying to conquer the triple-tonguing beast that 4 Scottish Dances is. (I never actually spent much time with Double or Triple tonguing...and now it's coming back to haunt me). After a relatively uneventful Sonlight Choir/Band practice, I came home and finished up Son of a Witch, a great sequel to Wicked (both by Gregory McGuire).
Since then I haven't accomplished a whole lot - a bit more triple tonguing practice and some reading Economics books trying to figure out the last few chapters we have to finish next week. Tomorrow morning I'm waking up and we're heading to the Tampa Aquarium, so that's gonna be a long day - luckily my espresso is brewing as I type, which I'll then chill and turn into an iced mocha tomorrow morn.
Who can say if I'll blog regularly, but at least for today, that's a window into my life...
