Beat, Beat Drums

Blow Bugles Blowwwwwww.

So as some of you know, Madrigals have been working their pants off for two weeks on the lovely Dona Nobis Pacem. A wonderful 65 page song. We had the honor of being directed by the great Dr. Ryan Murphy-assistant director of the tab choir. It was snazzy, I learned a lot and it was oodles of fun. But I am going to tell you about the interesting things that happened. Let me tell ya, it was a distressing few days. Weird things just kept happening!

First: At dinner, Tara was sitting across from me. She leaned forward and did something to my bangs. I thought she was fixing them but then she said "There was a spider in your hair". Thankfully Tara is not afraid of bugs! But it wasn't just a tiny spider. It was like a daddy long leg. EWW! How would you like it if a spider was on your head?? So I don't know what was going on with me emotionally, but I started crying. And some lovely madrigal friends were laughing and so was I, but for some reason I was also crying. And I do. not. cry in public (unless it's in Toy Story 3).

 

Second: McKann, Ben, Jemi, Steph, and Dania and I were eating at Noodles and Company and I had to relieve myself so I walked back to the bathroom and the bathrooms there were the big ones that are for one person and they lock, ya know? Well I try opening the door and it opens and I see this lady...in the bathroom...doing what people do in bathrooms and she screams and I slam the door and rush back to the table. Awkward. You can guess what image was going through my mind all day.

Third: I found my future husband. He lives in USA Spoon (American Fork....get it?). Trust me. It's meant to be. That's who I'm marrying this year. Expect a wedding announcement in the mail.

Fourth: Ben is a bottomless pit. Don't worry it's a good thing. He also doesn't worry about sanitation. Don't blame me when you get leprosy...

Fifth: McKann's obsessions with people are hilarious.

Basically this was a blast. Madrigals! We have finished Dona Nobis Pacem! Do you hear that? Victory's ringing.
