My Music Tangent

     Violins are sooooo cool.  I had two...no three, violin concerts this week.  One was the winter concert (which I'm sure you guys all went to but didn't see me because my ensemble was stuck in the first concert with the little kids...sigh.)

     The second one was at the Senior Saints Luncheon and we played for all the older people there.  We were invited to lunch before we gave our performance.  They had these awesome tuna sandwiches which totally made my day.  Then Sierra, Julia, and I went to practice violin in the bathroom before the performance started.  It's fun to do that because it echoes so much in there :P   

     The third concert was at Lakeforest Mall and I know some of you might be thinking...LUCKY!!!  IT WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN TO PLAY VIOLIN AT THE MALL!!!  Actually it is...if you don't mind getting sore feet from standing in front of fake snow, tiny Christmas trees, and giant teddy bears for family pictures (the moms really take advantage of mall concerts).  TIP THE SCALE!  On the other hand, we get to play Christmas music for the people at the mall and for God's glory.  We also get to eat candy or go to Starbucks or some such reward-ful stuff like that after the performance.  So it really is QUITE fun.

     Now I'm like exhausted but happy because CHRISTMAS BREAK IS HERE AND I CAN'T WAIT TO HANG OUT WITH MY FRIENDS AND GO CHRISTMAS SHOPPING AND SING ABOUT THE SAVIOR'S BIRTH!!!  

So what are you guys doing for Christmas??? (comment prompter, hint, hint)

:)  :P  :D
