Well I know I said I wouldn't probably post until Europe...oh well I have a bit of time so I thought I'd write...
I'm in Illinois right now.
I arrived yesterday afternoon (LONG trip)
met Sarah and Scott and then we went and rehearsed at the college for a bit...
then we went to the venue and ran through some things for the recital this afternoon.
We had an amazing dinner...
the apartment is cute...
it's comfortable...
I slept extremely well....
the recital was at 4...it went really well.
I had several memory slips...but other than that I think it went very well.
We just listend to the recording this evening.
Carren took us all out for a lovely dinner at Biaggi's...I wanted to drink a glass of wine but knowing I have lots of singing the next few days I know that isn't going to be good for me...
We got back and I decided to go to wal-mart and get a few things...
my car started acting funny.
Well now it's totally acting funny and the check engine light is one.
THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING!
I just bought this car
it's under warranty and it has VERY few miles on it for it's year.
So tomorrow morning I've got to get up and call AAA to have it towed to this place to have it loooked at.
GRRRRRRRRR
luckily our last recital here isn't until 4.
I'm praying so hard that this isn't a MAJOR problem...
that it's just something minor that may only require little money and time.
Our recital is at 4 and then afterwards we will be heading back to Ohio.
We probably won't be getting back to Ohio until fairly late.
I need this drive to clear my head and to think about a lot of things...
there are so many things that need to change.
Things that have to be different for my own sanity.
I've stepped out of my box enough and now it's time for me to just be dead honest--even if it hurts for a while.
It will...
but that will eventually go away and things will end up better.
So the drive is molto importante...so hopefully my little car will get better and I can just cruise on the down the road behind Sarah.
Monday is our recital in Ohio. hopefully if things go well we'll get to Ohio late...sleep in FOREVER...relax and lay around most of the day, and then head to the church for the concert.
*crosses fingers*
I'm heading to bed...
p.s. Hugs and kisses to my boy in Alabama this weekend for your sweet e-mail. :)
