Real World Dreamer

Here I (sometimes) creatively compose/expose my thoughts, dreams, nightmares, and most of all my Wishful Thinking I'm so fond of contemplating.

Grooaaannnn! WHY? (Skip if you're tired of whining)

More of the bug I was talking about previously? So I bought myself a duet book of some Classic Music (it includes Dona Nobis, Nymphy Tra-La stuff, Handle, Mozart, and Mendehlsson, etc). And I have no one to sing with me! And nowhere to sing it!

And then I further create frustration for myself by learning it all - and so when I DO find someone willing to humor me, they get tired of me wanting to go over it and over it and over it until we have it down. And then what to do with it after we learned it?

My sisters are the best at humoring me - but life has interruptions (like time and distance?!)...and and AND!!! UnghHHHH!!! Waaa!!!! I wanna sing!!!!

(Just went to a choir concert last night with Jordan Bluth as their guest soloist - style remeniscint of Josh Grobin and Andrea Bocelli. This time my desire that was completely peaked was to take voice lessons again! Besides the typical wanting to hop on stage and sing with him! Every concert I go to peaks some kind of yearning for that life... *sigh* Reality immediately reared it's ugly head and argued with me that before I put myself in lessons I really should at least have Ch take at least some guitar lessons until he grew tired of the reality of practicing!).

So - Anybody want to learn songs and sing with me????? Check out "Classics for Two" compiled and edited by Patrik M Liebergen. I did get the book that had the accompaniment CD with it. I even have it downloaded onto my i-pod. I sigh some more. Tit Willow.

Got Bit...

So I don't want to go to bed..got bit by the late night creativity bug. Even though I'm not doing too much real creative stuff. But I'm enjoying listening to my Sleepy Time playlist: Sarah Brightman at the moment. Have had my Gregorian chants, Celtic Women, Andrea Bocelli and more. Kids went to bed listening to some of my Bobby McFerrin...they like Don't Worry Be Happy. Not one I would've guessed they'd like.

Wanna hear a funny communication feaux-pas? So I get an e-mail from my friend in Ohio asking what's up and am I okay? I send her back a glowing report of how well my family and life is going right now... I finish that and my in-box has another letter in from my other mutual friend who is in Farmington, a bit more direct, asking me about my diagnosis of epilepsy and why I was living with my dad? I had to re-read that one a few times to make sure she meant to send that to me. She mentioned she called my new cell phone number and talked to my dad. I responded with a smile that she must have called the wrong number. Turns out - it was ME that created the mess! I switched the numbers around!! And of all the random things - the guy's daughter is named Lisa!!!! I hope he didn't have to take too many calls for me before I got that correction out to ya'll! I feel like calling him and apologizing for the confusion, and wishing him the best as he cares for his daughter with epilepsy!

This made me think of the terrible things that could happen as a result of some honest miscommunication error?!!! What if you got the wrong message and dropped an atom bomb on the wrong country?!!!!

Well, the 3 of us got a great laugh out of this one!
