Fhatsody in Blue

I used one of James's titles for today's blog.







As usual, I'm exhausted.



I just got through playing the Spooktacular concert with the Oklahoma Community Orchestra.  I played organ and piano on the Phantom of the Opera medley.  It was an excellent concert and I loved all of the music!  Judd Theater was PACKED with people standing on both sides!  I love when lots of people come to hear classical music.  It calms my soul to know that the arts is somewhat thriving where I live!




I cheated a couple of times on my diet this weekend but I'm back on track.  AGAIN, I'm going to re-commit to my working-out (and my diet for that matter), as I feel it helps me a lot.





I suppose commitment has to be about every individual day.  A DAILY commitment to do my best.  That's important in weight loss.  One.   Day.   At.   A.   Time.




That said, tomorrow is going to be GREAT!  Thank you GOD for tomorrows!



I felt fat today.  In this blue shirt.  I'm tired of feeling fat.  I feel like I want to hide on days like that.  When I feel fat, I don't want anyone to see me or talk to me- even my close friends or family.  It makes life difficult.  Somedays, it's just hard to put on the confidence and know that I have a BRILLIANT personality and lots of friends.  I just feel.  Fat.  Put a brown bag over my head, someone, please.




In other news, as James and I were driving to the library this afternoon, a bee entered the car.





I was driving.





You can imagine, I'm sure, the chaos that ensued.  I stayed relatively calm until Bee-lezebub flew up front and LANDED ON MY HAND!




My sub-conscious instantly reacted with flailing and screaming, I slammed on the brakes (unknowingly),  and my car went screeching past the pond, towards the bible building.  I'm so glad I didn't hit a pedestrian.  I'm also glad the bee didn't sting me.






Bee jerk.





Beef jerky.





mmm.




food.  delicious.  savory.  unhealthy food.





NO NO NO NO NO NO NO




I better go and distract myself from food.  I'm going to work out again before I crash.  I did 30 minutes of Free Step on the Wii (2,988 steps!!!) while I talked to James about Grad School Visiting plans!  More on that later.




Love to you all for reading my blog!





P.S.- I'm going to try and have my Senior Recital towards the end of February!  I'll keep you all posted.  It's sure to be the big failure event of 2010!!!
