oh boy. monday. performed all weekend. rehearsed in between the performances. so much singing. my voice ~ OUCH!!!! i am exhausted. my kitchen is messy. my apartment needs cleaning. i need cleaning. and in a little over two hours, i will be teaching. using this poor little larynx for five straight hours.

the singing i did this weekend should have earned me a day at the spa and $3,000 in my pocket. and that's on the low end. but it didn't. this music is WAY harder than anything that some pop singer eeks out, with the help of a microphone and voiceover. and hot, gay, shirtless backup dancers to distract you from impending vocal errors. nope. just me, a cavernous church, and total reliance on good vocal technique.

but it's such great music. spiritual, sexy, classy, gorgeous. i'm so lucky.

teaching will definitely suck today. most definitely. but mama needs to pay rent, so here we go!

your healthy food tip for the day:

did you know that baby food is delicious? and it has no extra anything in it. just pureed veggies or fruit. all the fruit varieties are really good. lots of fiber and they really fill you up. and they're so quick and easy. i've also discovered that the mac n cheese one is delicious with pasta! just add to pasta, and a little bit of the pasta cooking water, maybe some parmesan cheese, some salt and pepper and you have quick mac n cheese that's not as bad for you.

huh!
