Delete

I wrote a lengthy explanatory post about how I've discovered a new part of myself--a new facet of confidence, if you will. But I realized I was writing for me this time, and not you.

So, "delete."

I will summarize for you: I've discovered I like the personal essay more than the short story. And I don't need to become a famous author. And I'm happy with myself.

ps. I really like this song.
("They" won't let me embed the video, sorry. So, if you want to listen bad enough, you'll have to expel extra effort and click on the link.)

Busy, Busy, Busy!

Yeah, it's been awhile.
My sincerest apologies to my readers, especially my consistent follower—Dad.

Here is a brief summation of all of the things I've thought: "I really need to write this on my blog." But then was quickly inhibited by this thought: "No time! No time! What the?! How long has that been in my planner for today?"

1. Did you know that the basement of the JFSB is designed to convert into a morgue in case of mass destruction?! Each room is equipped with its own thermostat, so that individual rooms can be dropped to freezing temperatures as needed. I guess the-powers-that-be are anticipating a major disaster in the Utah county area. But, hey, at least they're prepared with a morgue! Now, isn't that comforting?...

2. The primary reason I've been so out of touch with the world recently, is because I'm premiering three documentaries within the next month! I'm producing one radio documentary and two television documentaries. My favorite documentary is scheduled to premier two weeks from today! Crazy! If you want to come, just join this Facebook group for all of the info.

3. I "ran into" Travis the other day. Funny story.

4. I got eight fillings at the dentist at once. Not a funny story. And I'm not happy about it either. I ALWAYS brush my teeth. But apparently I inherited my dad's teeth, which apparently means I have a slightly more acidic mouth and slightly less resistant enamel. Again, not happy.

5. I experimented with some new recipes again, and I found a new favorite! Chocolate chip scones are tasty! ...especially when I accidentally put in Baking Soda instead of Baking Powder. I did some research, and I'm still not entirely positive of what the difference is, but I am sure I loved the mistake!

For some reason, I had a whole lot more to update you on; however, can't seem to think of anything else right now. Actually, I can't seem to think of much of anything at all right now.

Time for bed.

Come to the premier! I. AM. SO. EXCITED.

Miracles

I wouldn't say I get everything I want in life. And I can definitely say I work for what I do get.

But God blesses me every step of the way. Miracles happen in my life--all the time.

Workin' Out

All I could think of during my aerobics class was "I want a shake. I want a rich and creamy chocolate shake. I want an In-n-out shake and a burger and fries and a shake and a chocolate shake." ...is that bad?

And... make sure when you give instructions to your cake decorator, you remind them not to write the instructions ON the cake! ...or accidently put scissors in the cake!

These are stories and test questions accumulated by music teachers in the state of Missouri:
Refrain means don't do it. A refrain in music is the part you better not try to sing.
A virtuoso is a musician with real high morals.
John Sebastian Bach died from 1750 to the present.
Handel was half German, half Italian, and half English. He was rather large.
Beethoven wrote music even though he was deaf. He was so deaf he wrote loud music. He took long walks in the forest even when everyone was calling him. I guess he could not hear so good. Beethoven expired in 1827 and later died from this.
Henry Purcell is a well known composer few people have ever heard of.
Aaron Copland is one of your most famous contemporary composers. It is unusual to be contemporary. Most composers do not live until they are dead.
An opera is a song of bigly size.

Music sung by two people at the same time is called a duel.

Most authorities agree that music of antiquity was written long ago.

My favorite composer is Opus.
A harp is a nude piano.
A tuba is much larger than its name.
Instruments come in many sizes, shapes and orchestras.

A bassoon looks like nothing I have ever heard.
Last month I found out how a clarinet works by taking it apart. I both found out and got in trouble.

A contra-bassoon is like a bassoon, only more so.
Tubas are a bit too much.

Just about any animal skin can be stretched over a frame to make a pleasant sound once the animal is removed.
Q - Is the saxophone a brass or a woodwind instrument?
A - Yes.
