One month from today, Brigette and I will be accompanying the Gem City Chorus to Nashville to compete against womens choruses all over the country and world for that matter to hopefully bring home a gold medal. We have been working on this for a year and a half, and we are on the home stretch doing 2-3 rehearsals a week instead of our usual 1 hour. We are also rehearsing from 6 or 6:30 until 10:30 most times instead of our usual 7-10. We've hired and flown in coaches from all around the U.S. to help us prepare. I can't believe when its finally here it will all be over in about 5 minutes. A 5 minute set will win or lose it for us. For those interested, we have a dress rehearsal/send-off for Nashville. Come support us and see us get all gussied up in borderline hooker make-up and lots of sequins and sparkles to bust out all our contest songs. Oh how I have missed the thrill of performing in costume with lots of lights, sparkle, choreography, overtones, AND UNDERTONES!!! Ah yes, a sweet rarity, but we've made 'em and they'll rattle your knees, and create a (in the mighty words of our chorus) a CHORDGASM.
All of us will appreciate your prayers as we fight for harmonious gold,

15 Random Things to Do in Wal-mart
Found this online. I laughed a lot.
So I wanted to share.
1. Get 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in peoples carts when they aren't looking.
2. Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
3. Make a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the rest rooms.
4. Walk up to an employee and tell him/her in an official tone, 'Code 3' in housewares . . . and see what happens.
5. Go the Service Desk and ask to put a bag of M&M's on lay away.
6. Move a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.
7. Set up a tent in the camping department and tell other shoppers you'll invite them in if they'll bring pillows from the bedding department.
8. When a clerk asks if they can help you, begin to cry and ask, "Why can't you people just leave me alone?"
9. Look right into the security camera; use it as a mirror, and pick your nose.
10. While handling guns in the hunting department, ask the clerk if he knows where the anti-depressants are.
11. Dart around the store suspiciously loudly humming the "Mission Impossible" theme.
12. In the auto department, practice your "Madonna look" using different size funnels.
13. Hide in a clothing rack and when people browse through, say "PICK ME!"
14. When an announcement comes over the loud speaker, assume the fetal position and scream "NO! NO! It's those voices again!!"
And, last, but not least!
15. Go into a fitting room, shut the door and wait a while; and then yell, very loudly, "There is no toilet paper in here!"

Four wheeling adventures
I roughed it this weekend. Hard core. No electric or water. I have never appreciated a toilet more than I do now. A weekend of outhouses... So its time for bed. I walk to the outhouse. I'm about to sit down (which I already have trouble sitting on a mud hole for all the bugs to stare up at my arse) and I see to yellow and brown striped legs sticking out from under the toilet seat. ..Um, yeah, like I'm putting my ol' behind down to get it bitten off by the toilet monster a.k.a. a "wood spider" (trevor said that's what it was)...anyway I didn't go in there the rest of the weekend. I peed in a cup in the cabin and dumped it out the door into the woods.
When I wasn't fighting off toilet monsters, I was out on a four wheeler with my loving husband, sister and brother in law, cousin and her boyfriend, enjoying the Ohio countryside offroading through the hills, mud, etc. It was beautiful.
