blessing

that's all i want to be and certainly what i received after listening to a voice i haven't heard in ages! veruschka is her name and her cd recently found its way to my local abc. as i glanced through the featured cds, i was surprised to see a face i actually know. we sang together in our high school choir when i was a senior and she a junior.

i can still remember the moment she said something along the lines of wishing she could sing like me. and i still remember the crazy look i gave her and saying something along the lines of why would you want my voice when you have yours! it's amazing! she could sing back in 1995 and i got to hear her grow during college.

wow! the woman's got chops! and hearing her today was, indeed, a blessing.

laryngitis

now, now when i want to sing, when i want nothing more than to open my mouth and wail, i've got what i think is laryngitis. yes, i'll go to the doctor later on and get an official word. but whatever it is, it sucks rocks! and i'm doing all i can to make it go away. warm lemon water. gargling with a warm salt water solution, not too much talking, not too much laughing (man!), plenty of rest (why?!), and all that other good stuff. and hopefully the good doctor will give me meds to make it disappear sooner. please give me meds!

okay, enough whining, yes?

i need to make a press kit or some sort of info sheet for my ministry.

off to divide and conquer. say a prayer please...

no sunshine

i thought i heard we'd have sunshine and we did this morning. i slept with my window open and woke up warm. by noon it was cold. it's still cold now at 3:40pm. and i've got a cold and all i want to do is watch a movie.

but anyway, it could all be worse. good news is, i've created a set list for my mini-concert. and i haven't had to evacuate my house due to katrina. crazy. i don't know what i'd do in that situation. how much would i try to salvage? would i be a rebel and try to stick it out? would i be dissobedient and return to the scene before it's been cleared? yeah, i must be grateful today...i must be.

well, that's all folks. i'm out of words at the moment.
