MMMMM....

I am craving, CRAVING Spaghetti. Not just a little craving a BIG ONE. I just can't rest until I have a large plate of spaghetti lathered in delicious red sauce. And you know something I have been craving it since Friday! Oh delicious spaghetti, when will you be in my tummy?

Emotions flying high!

Today I auditioned up at Utah State for their vocal music program! I can honestly say that I feel so relieved that it is over! Today I felt a huge spectrum of emotions: I woke up and was hopeful that my voice wasn't lost at the dance, I went through my songs and cried because I was so scared of doing it (and maybe cried a bit when I couldn't find anything to wear hahaha, I know I am a baby!), I got a blessing from my brother and felt peace, I got in the car and drove for 1 hour an a half and felt anxiousness, I said a prayer with my mother and felt comforted, I walked in the room to audition and felt confident, I walked out of the room and took a theory test and felt insecure because my theory knowledge is not very much, I went to lunch with my supportive family and felt happy that it was over, I drove home and felt tired!

What a learning experience! It was so worth it all though and even if I don't get a scholarship I am proud of myself for trying! I am just so grateful for the support of my family and my talent of singing that I have been blessed with! Hey the opera lady smiled at me, and the choir guy shook my hand so maybe that is a good sign?

The MANn

Warning, my broadway nerd is about to manifest itself...

Ok do you ever hear a voice that captures you fancy immediately? A voice that is low and powerful? A voice that is low but still manages to belt out high last notes? A voice that makes a character come alive? This my friends is my HERO Terrence Mann. He is a broadway star that has played 3 very important and demanding roles: Javert from Les Miserables, Chauvelin from Scarlet Pimpernel and the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. I am flat out in love with his voice. In fact I wish I had his voice (I know it is a weird ambition since I am a girl)! It gives me this chills when I hear him sing. He is truly amazing!

Javert...
The Beast...

Chauvelin...

Me and My Snuggie...

Ok I know what you are thinking, "A snuggie? The blanket with sleeves that has that cheesy infomercial?" and yes indeed that would be true. But what you probably don't know is that it is the most comfortable thing in the WORLD! It was probably the best christmas present ever. I find myself day dreaming about taking naps in my warm Snuggie!

(That is not me by the way!)

5 REASONS WHY I LOVE MY SNUGGIE:

#1. It is PINK
#2. It has sleeves, making guitar hero very easy and typing on the computer a cinch.

#3. It is warm but not too warm.

#4. It is incredibly soft.

#5. IT IS PINK!!!

Am I obsessed? Maybe...Do you have a problem with that?
