I'm auditioning for my chamber choir (typically just 8 people) and also for a trio (soprano, alto and tenor) that sings on top of the choir for this gorgeous arrangement of Ave Maria. So I've been practicing my parts. Our Christmas concert is going to be so good. I love almost all of the music.
H has been submitting his cartoon drawings to the New Yorker for about 6 months now. They are really good. I'm always so devastated when he gets a rejection letter. But almost all of the letters have hand written notes on them that say something to the effect of "Great gags. Keep submitting and work on the style." He probably has about 100 submission so far and at least 50 of them are gold. I think so anyway.
Anyway, he works on those every Friday night so I usually spend that time watching a chick flick or catching up on some show that he doesn't like to watch.
We are planning to spend a lot of family time together this weekend and our anniversary is next week. I'm looking forward to reconnecting after a few rough months for us.
Also, I've lost so much weight that my clothes don't fit me but I can't afford new clothes so I sold a bunch of stuff on Ebay and now have a big paypal credit. I'm bidding on a few things from Banana Republic that are super cute and great deals. I love Ebay for consignment.
I am hanging out in bed and just relaxing. I get to meet one maybe two SN's tomorrow so thats kind of exciting, I'm just making sure I have all my directions set so I don't end up at a strangers.
I made smaller somewhat hand held apple pies yesterday. Just messing around with things but they turned out pretty great. I've had two today so far.

We just got home from a movie. Our neighborhood has a little community center in an old house. Once a month they have a kids' movie night. The kids all put on their jammies and bring their sleeping bags to watch the movie, and the parents all bring wine/beer and hang out in the back. It's 3 blocks from our house and so nice to walk to.
Kids are now going to bed. H was diagnosed with strep yesterday so he's been sick all week, so we will probably just watch some shows. Very exciting

This is the last weekend of popcorn sales for cubscouts, so we spent the afternoon doing that.
Tman had a great week at school and he has been longing to sleep on the couch. So, he's getting a big treat tonight. I set up his blankets and pillows on the couch and he gets to stay up as late as he wants and watch TV and eat popcorn. Hopefully, he'll fall asleep at some point and I won't come out at 2am to find him watching some ridiculous something or rather on Netflix.
I'm going to bed in just a few minutes, because I have yet another cold (thanks to James) that I need to will myself to recover from.
