Music Sunday!!!!!

Today was Music Sunday at the Unitarian church. I didn't even realize that it was until I read the order of service. The service leader read a hilarious reading about altos, and how they don't get as much attention as sopranos. I'm probably an alto :p After all, I'm no Freddie Mercury! I always get this great feeling after hearing someone sing in church. I guess it makes me want to practise my keyboard. Sometimes I do practise my keyboard after church, actually. I'd like to sing at a Music Sunday, though. We sung some pretty cool hymns, actually. And the folks who sung in the service were good.

We went to Fortino's after church. Before we left, my mom said that she wanted to go to Fortino's, to which I replied that we'll see people from church! We saw Ann again, but I didn't recognize anyone else. We picked up some chicken pieces, which were pretty good. Mom cut up some cucumber to go with it, and we all washed some cherry tomatoes and pear tomatoes. I think Dad cut up a larger tomato as well, because there's a paring knife on the cutting board where Mom cut up the cucumber, and I think the knife had tomato guts on it.

I have to start my regular homeschooling on Tuesday! The same day we're going to visit my sister! Wow. The summer has just flown by. I guess our trip to see my sister in London Ontario will be a 'field trip'. Sweet :)

COME ON!!!!!!!!!

Well, I watched Canadian Idol tonight. I voted for Mookie, Earl, Drew and Theo. And Mookie got kicked off. I'm so mad.

Plus, I did not get to go to the library today. Tomorrow, my mom says. So I guess we're going tomorrow. Well, come tomorrow, she'd better not put it off, because I have to take back Quadrophenia, tomorrow.

And when I was playing Final Fantasy VIII while my parents were out, Teddy kept whining every time she heard a car door. "It's not them!" I kept telling her. And when they did come home, she got excited. Really, really excited.

Here's Mookie singing Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf...




And here he is singing Lola by The Kinks. Mom didn't like it as much as I did...




Mookie performing James Brown's 'I Feel Good'...




And last, but far, far, far from least, Mookie performing Ophelia by The Band.

Singing to my cat.

Yep. I sang to my cat today.

Q107 played Have a Cigar by Pink Floyd, so I sang along to the cat. Mouse has been very talkative lately. I'll start walking to the stairs, and she won't leave me alone. I'll tell her, "You go up the stairs, I'll follow you."

Anyway, I couldn't knit while listening to that song, so I set my knitting down, got up and paced. After a little while I sat back down on my bed.

I sang, "And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?"

"Reh," Mouse squawked in reply.

I laughed through the next line.

And, a few minutes ago, Dad chased Lulu, Goldie and Teddy away (they were probably on the couch), so they came in here. I made goofy high-pitched noises at Lulu (you know, the sounds you make when a cute dog is near), and she jumped up in my lap. "You're gonna clunk your head!" I told her right before she jumped. When she was in my lap (without clunking her head), I continued, "Miss I-Smell-Like-Pollen!"

ETA: I was able to knit during the guitar solo at the end. My Mobius Wrap is halfway done.

The service is DONE!

So, the youth group service went really well. Someone was absent, but we still got through it alright. I stumbled two or three times when I read a quote as a reading, and I started bawling afterwards, so when we sang 'Can I Go Nowhere With You' I covered my face with my order of service. But during the last two hymns I sang my heart out.

Here's the quote I read...

"It was just a gradual development over the years. Last year was "All You Need Is Love." This year it's "Give Peace a Chance." Remember love. The only hope for any of us is peace. Violence begets violence. If you want peace, you can get it as soon as you like if we all pull together. You're all geniuses and you're all beautiful. You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are. Get out there and get peace. Think peace, live peace, and breathe peace and you'll get it as soon as you like. Okay?" - John Lennon

And, in three minutes, the library will update the list of new items in the system. Now that's something I can feel happy about!

Mother's Day Shopping - Check!

Yep, it was last minute, but it's done. I bought the gift yesterday and the card today. I won't say what I got her in case she accidentally reads about it here.

When my dad and I were shopping yesterday, he said, "Let's find somebody who works here," and I started singing, "Somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody...", from Somebody to Love by Queen!

Plus, Rock the Cradle is on tomorrow! Yay!
