No time!



What day is this? is it verse day or remember day or what? I loose track. Ah Tuesday. Well...this day for me has been too short. All days seem too short most of the time. There just doesn't seem to be enough hours to do all the things you must do, plus all the things you want to do. I do feel good about getting some stuff out in the mail. Not all the stuff I wanted to get out (yet) but some stuff. Boriel is my hero and my role model when it comes to that kind of stuff. I'm the worst! when it comes to mailing stuff. I don't know why. I just have this thing about mailing stuff. Don't ask me, I can't figure it out. Must be a shame to my mother too as she works for the post office and mails stuff all the time. Maybe I'm still rebelling....hmmm It was really nice. Well...that might be a slight understatement. I guess the concert itself was wonderful. A few klinkers in the orchestra and the boy solo who sang "In Dreams" was not as good as the one who did it for the movie, but all in all it was a truly enjoyable experience. One that I would highly recomend to anyone. Oh and if you're thinking of going in Pa and money is an issue. Don't feel bad if all you can afford is the cheap seats. Really! We had the cheapest seats in the nose bleed section, but truly it did not matter. We could hear everything beautifully and it just swept us away. It's been a long time since I cried through a viewing of FOTR. Mostly I figure because I'm almost always watching it while doing something else (laundry, letter writing, etc) But I was blown away and the tears flowed freely while listening to the first and second movements. (the Fellowship part) Somehow the rest of the symphony didn't move me as much. I think because it felt (to me) rushed. They did the 3-6 parts in the same time that they did part one and two. It seemed like alot of my favorite parts in the music were skipped. But, what they did include was wonderful of course. The rest of the day was really nice too. Meeting with ringers to (what else) eat! and then to the virgin megastore for the Howard Shore signing. He's a very nice man and if I can figure out how to post pictures here someday, I'll post pics. I got a really nice one of me, and the kids with Howard. LOL!! I let him listen to my ring tones on my phone. Well...one of them anyway. I didn't make his suffer through two of them, but I played "concerning hobbits" for him. He got a chuckle out of it. He says he has LOTR ring tones on his phone too. He has the Rohan theme on his he says. (darn!! I should have asked him where he got it) We were also able to spend some time with our family in Ohio and that was nice. The only part that was not nice, was the 9 hour drive (each way) Ugh!!But I've had no time to get my pictures to shutterfly or made into avatars or anything. I've barely had time to post this and now my dinner is dinging at me. Gotta run.
