Proud Mama Moment: Colorado Elementary All-State Choir

Posted on by

This is my daughter’s first year in choir, and she is really enjoying it.  A week or so ago, she casually announced that she was going to try out for ‘this state choir thing’ at school. I told her it was a great idea, but didn’t think much more of it. Last night she came home with great news!

My daughter auditioned for, and was awarded a spot on the 2013 Colorado Elementary All-State Choir. I am so proud of her. Six 6th graders from her school were chosen. So on the 26th of January, we are going to head down to Colorado Springs. The kids spend the majority of the day rehearsing as a group.  Then that night they have a concert. They are given the music in advance, and they will be rehearsing with their choir director once a week beforehand as well. It is going to be such a great experience for her.

I am so looking forward to seeing her singing her heart out on that big stage!

 

Parting is such sweet sorrow

That sad image is the corner of my iPad. This summer, it slid off my desk at work and I cracked the bottom corner…but over time that crack spread to my whole screen. This week I’m sending it off to Rocky Mountain Mac Repair to get the screen replaced. Thankfully the digitizer is not damaged  so its just a glass repair.

I am really not looking forward to being without my iPad for a week. Between me and the kids, it gets used so much! Though I think I’d rather be with out my iPad, than my phone.

What tech can you not live without?

I’m tired, it’s late…

I had planned on writing a really good post on WTF is all the Moffat hate with Doctor Who fans, but after the spectacularly crappy day i’ve had, just can’t do it. Most of my favorite episodes of Doctor Who are written by Steven Moffat…so I’m very confused about all the venom. I do still plan to write it, but I must get back to cleaning up the 10 gallon flood I had today and the kitten assisted shattered wine glass.

Friday Video Fun: Some Happy Places

Posted on by

With the election looming at the beginning of this week, I needed some Happy Places to go to. Here are a few of the things that I used to make me smile when I wanted to punch everything.

The sassy cup stacking otter:

I’m not really sure I could love that otter more. LOVE THE SASSY OTTER!! (h/t  The Meta Picture)

 

The first video I ever was emailed:

 

I think it explains itself. Heeee

The last one was a reboot of Spongebob’s Best Day Ever. Tom Kenny rewrote it after the 2008 election. And sometimes I would just have to play it again to regian my hope:

Do you have a “Happy Place”? What do you watch on the web to make you smile?
