The picture is hard to see, but here it is: My masterpiece! It's a cross stitch that took me over 6 months to do. I'm a little proud of it :)
-----------------------------------
A few days ago I was going through my CD's and downloading Christmas music to my ipod via itunes. I came across the CD's Breanne (Tolman) made me of our various choir concerts when were in high school. Just for kicks and giggles I put them on and flipped through each track, laughing as I listened to some of the music we were forced to sing (Who could forget "Old McDonald in Latin????) What surprised me was I actually got a little sentimental about choir and my choir friends (WAVES to Annika, Bre, Erin, Courtney & Kristen) It surprised me because I didn't enjoy 90% of high school and couldn't wait to get out. I was miserable most of the time (granted, some of it was self-inflicted, the rest was my lack of serotonin...) But that 10% when I was Ladies, Chamber and A Capella, I loved. Too bad I've let my voice go to pot!!!
On the flip-side of that....
I'm on the Design Team at Capelli and we've gone to a couple of career fairs for high school students. We talk to them about coming to our school, do some hair, and try not to murder them. And then I remembered why I didn't miss high school. I can't even give you specific examples, just picture yourself in front of a group of them and trying to talk. `Nough said. Today at the career fair in Heber this punk jock decided he wanted Trianna to cut him a nice mullet. Yes, a mullet. Business in the front, party in the back. As she was cutting away he said "My mom is going to kill me!" And the thought that came to my mind was: "I really hope she does just that."

I think that we all feel the same way about high school. I always felt stupid! And I miss choir, too. And I have wasted my voice, too. And... I guess I was nodding the whole time that I was reading this!
I do miss the choir days. There just aren't a lot of opportunities to sing anymore. If only we could re-live the parts we liked. :)
I hear ya - I don't really miss high school either!
Pretty much the only thing I DO remember from HS is Choir. I really need to put those CD's in my iTunes too :) And Courtney is going to remind me that she needs the music too. I guess that will be a good gift for our choir girls out there :)
Love ya!
Oh ya, and I love the pic at the top. You look so good :) I love your hair, it's starting to get long!
Gosh I'm forgetful.
I love the cross stitch too! That looks like a lot of work, but it's always great when they are done.
(I did one that took me over 6 years to finish, so don't feel bad about the 6 months)
That's my town, baby! Gotta love the Heberites!!
