This Week's Not As Busy

This week started on Sunday with our gig at Tamarisk Country Club. Los Amigos sang a short program, starting with "Brand New Day", "Broadway Show Stoppers Medley", "Seize the Day", "They Can't Take That Away from Me", and "Xanadu". After we finished the last number, the audience erupted in thunderous applause and then started shouting for an encore. Well, we didn't have one planned, but Alan thought for a moment and decided that we could sing "Seasons of Love" from "Rent". We performed it at our last concert and since it fits the theme of the upcoming one, we are going to use it again. The piano did the intro, and then we started singing the opening lines, "5 hundred, 25 thousand, 600 minutes..." and then the audience started clapping again. It was so cool, I don't think that ever happened before. After a moment, they stopped as we continued to sing without missing a beat. They liked us. They really liked us!
Monday, I had the rehearsal for the benefit for the new Family Services Center that will be held at the Air Museum. We are performing "Night and Day" and "You're a Grand Old Flag". We had to give our measurements because we will be wearing military uniforms while we sing. It should be very interesting.
Had the regular chorus rehearsal on Tuesday night. It is going very well, and I did most of my singing "off book". I listen to the rehearsal CD in my car several times I day, during my short approx. 10 minute commute, and really have the words and notes down. I love that. Frees me up to look at the director for musical direction.
Went to Streetbar afterwards for Scotch & Soda and karaoke. There was a pretty good crowd there. Australian soldier boi was there, and I have never seen him so f*ck*d up as he was that night. I thought for sure he would pass out at some point. Very sad.
Last night I got to relax at home; put some music in the computer and crochet a little. I had to stop at Michael's (the store, not the doctor) and pick up another skein of black yarn. I just fell short of completing the last "granny square" for my throw. I went after the gym (which I also went on Monday!)
That is going very well, I'm doing the elliptical, about 350 calories, and then the treadmill with incline, for another 50+ calories. I workout enough to sweat, which necessitates taking a shower. Makes me feel productive that way. Haven't seen anyone really hot in the locker room lately. I think about that one guy with the beautiful body. Looked like his butt was sculpted out of stone. And it was just inches from my face at one point. Ahhh...
Did some laundry last night, need to take the colors out of the dryer sometime today. It was still running last night when I was ready for bed.
Dr Michael is not mad at me, as I previously thought. I think he is just very busy. He has to be on-call some nights, and I think he had a lot of them last week. He does seem to be a little distant still, however. Hopefully, I will know what's going on soon.

If you need a consultant on the wearing of the military uniform I'd be happy to help. I remember when we soldiers would go to a movie, just to rip it apart when they didn't salute properly or wear the uniform correctly.
