I love my choir. Particularly love my choir when we're singing new songs and doing them fairly well. It's so much more heartening than the panicky feeling of starting a new set of songs and counting the number of rehearsals till the first concert and realizing we have not a hope in Hades of not making fools of ourselves on stage.
We've got a beautiful crop, too. Some we've already done, like Will Ye No Come Back Again, and a few new ones - one of which I believe is still being written. Or transcribed. Or something.
Is "heartening" a word? I know disheartening is... but perhaps heartening is like plussed, or chalant.
The other thing that was neat was that we've been shuffled, and I'm now sitting near other sections. I've been stuck waaay off at the edge of the first sopranos, which is wonderful in its own way, but it's nice too to be able to hear the other parts. Right now I'm right next to a bass! Woot! (and if he's reading this - Hi Neil!)
Feeling kinda sorry for the tenor section, though. Even though it's doubled in size since the last rehearsal. It's just that they both sound so lonely up there.

Home schooling went fairly well today. Spent most of the day on our bikes, actually. Got Daniel's Cubs shirt, went to home schooling Book Club at the library, the kids chose their Halloween costumes, took Justin to Beavers, and all the other regular stuff. And got some of my own reading done. Not a bad day.

Ya know, I'm getting a little nervous about all this gloom'n'doom weather stuff going on. Perhaps I ought not to have bought The Day After Tomorrow and watched it a bunch of times. It seemed a good idea at the time, as the kids are both freakishly fascinated by weather disasters, and that movie has a bunch of awesome ones. Now, though... um, I think I'll go watch another X-Files ep. Or Homicide. Something non-global-related.
