ah, time passes every so quickly these long days. i am so beat today. well i suppose that this hour difference has done something to my internal clock. could take me a few days (weeks) to straighten that out. this one may be a long one. haven't written in a long time.
SO
the concert on saturday night went extremely well. my cousin was very fidgety and i kind of liked it cause when she fidgets it's meaning she's trying not to pay attention which means the songs hit home. GOOD.
my adopted aunt antionette sang SO very well. she always does. hits the highest notes. and well, mind you. she's adopted cause she's not a blood relation, we adopted her. it was awesome. there was a dancer, a signer as well. it was just great. afterwards i talked to the dancer and gave her a great big hug. she told me she had had 2 back surgeries (sp) and when she dances she doesn't feel a thing, but when she's not dancing it hurts just so much. i believed her. and right good thing i did too cause my aunt (not the adopted one, my real one) confirmed that she wouldn't believed her if she hadn't seen it herself. the lady has to sit in a special chair or something screwey happens with her back.
the concert was just so wonderful. we got home around 11pm. which would have been 12pm cause of the time change. (did you all remember the time change this morning?) so i was up for...19 hours. WOW. that's almost a whole day! or was it 20 cause of the time change...or 18. whatever it was, it was LOOOONG.
i slept in this morning. we didn't have sunday school cause our teacher was in NH and church...well...i was tired. i don't do this every sunday so i think it was ok. *nods* after i woke up at 11:15 i rushed around as to get to church just in time for dance practice. i was at least 15minutes early cause church was still in session. so i sat downstairs and re-arranged my phone book. dance was cool. we decided to wear black tops and white pants for the mother's day concert thing. should prove nice. we finished the dance completely today. i just have to practice some more cause i tend to forget things as soon as i'm allowed to.
here's something awesome. when i went upstairs to get with everyone after service our dance instructor called me into the sound room (that i love just as much as Em loves hers!). i'm kind of scared cause she just doesn't pull you aside for nothing, but i trusted what she had to say to me was alright, i mean, it's aunt gwen! anyways. she asks me when sheri and james' wedding is and i tell her then she asks what i'm wearing. little problem with that. i have no money. for the next 3 months i'm paying for tires. what does she say to me? "danielle, the Lord told me that i was to buy you a dress for that wedding. i was to make you look as pretty as possible. why? i don't know. all i know is that the lord told me to do it so i'm gonna follow through." i was shocked! "i wanna make that day special for you, dannie." i sad "oh, my, goodness...THANK YOU!" and gave her a great big hug. i haven't told her about the deal with the no money, i figure i'll tell her later. but how awesome was that! and maybe on the way to david's bridal we can chat it up! yes!
went to walmart today to get a picture frame for my friend. i got her a JG trade ad for her new room at her mom's house. she moved in with her mom today. so went with my sister. didn't have the frame. genius. the exact frame i wanted they had to be sold out of, right? that's an adventure for tomorrow. so i got the Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet with Leo and Claire instead and went home to watch it. get in the car and am relieved to see that i don't have to back out of my parking spot cause the one in front of me is open. great! start the car. woman puts her cart RIGHT in front of my car! now, i work at a grocery store so this would peeve me anyways. the thing that made me shout out the window "Oh NO you did NOT!" was the fact that the carraige corral...yea, it was the next stinking parking spot over. can we say LAAAAAAAAAAAZY! OOOOOOH if i wasn't a christian! so, i got over it eventually. not without sputtering and making some comments and making my sister laugh. BUT.
MY BABY was in the NEWSPAPER today! oh my most lovely JG made front in the music section of the providence suday journal. ooooh i love it. titled oh-so befittingly Golden-voiced Groban stirs passions and that he does.
my mom had a dream about him! i'm getting excited cause i've had i think 3 dreams about meeting him, my friend jess(who is going to the concert with me) has had 2 and my mom has had 2. signs? ooooh that better be a yes. i can't really tell it as well as my mom did but i'll try my 11025% best. after all, it's about JG...i can't help myself. so the dream went something like this: mi madre was at home doing something and my uncle craig came in the door with Josh following. then my uncle craig turned into my uncle allen! my mom couldn't believe it so she asked how JG was standing in her living room. uncle allen said that he was having a concert at the casino my uncle works at and he was chatting with Josh and told him about me and how much of a fan i was and that i sang and all this good stuff. (i'll prolly have my mom write it down so i can post the RIGHT version...) i was at work so mom thinks she's gonna play a trick on me. she knows i was going to freak out so she tells him to wait for me in my room. Josh walks upstairs into my room. then that room isn't my room anymore and she tells him to sit downstairs in my living room (which is where i'm writing this goodness). so he sits on the couch. she says that the walls were plastered with is face (goodness!) and she didn't know how he wasn't scared. so he's sitting on my couch and i come home from work. she said she listened to me rummage through the fridge, go to the bathroom and when i hit the living room she heard a scream and a huge bang. i suppose from me fainting. then Josh starts to sing and i join in. and we sing and talk and there was something about a beach and we had to go there to take pictures of us cause none of my friends were going to believe me. i ended up singing at his concert with him. he came out, sang some then looked to the corner of the stage and i came out all timid and grinning and he held out his hand (of course i can remember this part. contact!) and i took it. so we sang some song where we stood apart holding hands and singing to eachother. (i wish she could have identified the song!) family had front-row seats. she said i was taking pictures of everything. (haha) mom couldn't video tape the concert but they always taped it professionally and would make lots of copies and stuff. but she said we were holding hands all the time. (YEEEEEEEEES!) so that's what my mom told me. the whole time i sat there grinning and going "aaaaw." and "he's so cute, i love him." haha. i'll see if i can get the whole good version from my mom that actually made sence. hopefully she'll remember it. she BETTER!
ooooh, i just had a heart attack. ladybug with a death wish just flew into my desk and started buzzing...ok i'm alright. *breathe*
But before all of that happened i went shopping with candisto for my easter outfit. needless to say that was a success. now, if i had gone by myself there could have been some mishaps. lol girl tired me out! haha. she's a good critiquer tho. oh, candisto, i'm glad you like my HE and no key is as quiet as those at CCRI. none.
now i'm here waiting for my bed to come into my living room, tell me to get off the computer and go to bed...then sweep me off my feet and wrap me into it's cotton sheets and take me back into my bedroom.
then...i wake up. - Weller
