I used to have fun writing my conference weekend play by play and thoughts. That's changed a little, partly because, well, you can all pretty much see what I'm up to. Also because much of what is happening is too personal to go online, or its against the rules for me to post it. But I thought I'd highlight a few blog-appropriate points, just for fun.
~The lady in front of me taped the words to the opening hymn to the back of the woman in front of her. By the end of the session we had added the words "kick me" as well.
~President Holland's talk + Sour Apple Yoda fruit snacks = nourishing the whole soul
~Didn't you just love that arrangement of Tell me the Stories of Jesus? Not a dry eye during that 4th verse, "one of His heralds, yes I will sing Loudest Hosannas..."
~I still feel a little like a movie star. At the risk of sounding vain, my makeup looked pretty awesome today.
~Switching around parts all the time because I'm sitting in the soprano section so I have to look like a soprano is exhausting. It's not like before, when I learned both parts and sang them for a concert. I have to look like I am only singing one part for the TV cameras, meanwhile I have to actually sing a totally different part. Its the toughest brain puzzle I've ever been faced with. And I love it.
~I love love love watching the people around me pass around boxes of kleenex. Strong, smart, amazing women, feeling the same stuff I feel.
~We get to keep going! Tomorrow is another day!

umm hellloooo you are a movie star! By the way, I don't even get up for snacks during the songs anymore cause I like to scream 'there's my cousin!!' the whole time. never gets old.
Sorry, I don't get it. How do you look like a soprano is exhausting? Are you singing soprano or something else? Will you explain, please? Oh, and btw, it's fun to watch for you!!
Why in the world don't they just have you sit in the alto section, then? BTW, you looked gorgeous.
It's fun to have famous friends.
You ARE a movie star dahling!
:) I love it!
It has to be the most wonderful experience you will ever have, except getting married and having children. :O
I haven't seen you yet, it must be the makeup!!
