Tally ho, 2012!

Well we are three days into the new year and I can tell it's gonna be a doosey. In two days I'm having shoulder surgery so get ready for more posts while I'm stuck in bed with nothing to do and enough painkillers to make for some interesting literature. This isn't going to be a long post, I'm just stopping by to update you on a couple of things that have happened over the last couple of weeks.

1). I got my acceptance letter from my first choice school! YAY!!! I'm waiting with breath that is bated for scholarship information and for the news of whether or not I made it into the fairly competitive Voice Performance program at this school. It's a Catholic university run by Benedictine nuns. It is technically all-girls, but the sibling school for the guys(a seminary run by monks) is only three miles away and most of the classes are co-educational, thus offering all perks or a coed school, but with all the chaperons and single sex dorms of an all-girls school.

1.5). I get to visit this school in April because they help accepted student with travel costs, which is the only way I could have afforded to visit.

2). For the first time ever, I have made a New Year's resolution that seems fairly doable. I have decided to start writing letters to my future spouse. Since I am still in the discernment process and am not allowed un-chaperoned contact with members of the opposite sex (so basically, no dating of any kind) I decided that instead of devoting time to boys I can't date anyways I would start a one sided dialogue with the one who is getting stuck with me. That way if I do take the veil and enter a convent I will be able to do so knowing I never unintentionally or otherwise lead a guy to believe I was able to be in a relationship when I wasn't. And if I don't, the poor sucker who marries me will have proof that no matter how bossy and sarcastic I get, my main goal is to make him happy and see his soul and those of our children make it to heaven.

3). I really hope that what I am about to say isn't a surprise considering the title of my blog, but you never know. CHRISTMAS!!!!! The Christmas season is upon us and with a few more days till Epiphany I am savoring every second. I went to Midnight Mass at a local parish (not the one I belong to, but the one I usually go to) and it was beautiful. They have a real choir, that knows how to do Gregorian chant and at N.O. parish no less!!! If it weren't for the fact that I teach a Sunday school class at my current parish I would switch in a second so I could audition to sing with them.

Well anyways that's the update. Like I said, with my surgery I'm going to have lots of spare time to post so hopefully there shall be more to come. Oh, and before I forget...

I wish you all a Merry, Blessed Christmas season and a Happy New Year!

Sarcastically Yours,

I'm not dead, I promise!

Wow, I had no idea it had been so long since I posted! I wish I could say that I will be getting back into the swing of things and start posting again, but as this is senior year I just can't guarantee that. With colleges to visit, tests to take, auditions to prepare for, job to keep so college can be paid for, and of course, homeschooling stuff that needs to be done so I can graduate. I doubt I will be on this much. I'll try to post when the big stuff happens and I'm hoping to have time to post some of the details after I visit my first choice school. Until then, God Bless and a Very Merry Christmas!

Things to come!

Up next is a modesty post! I've decided to combine my love for fashion with my hatred for daisy dukes at Mass and am working on a "do's & don'ts" list to go along with picture of what is cool and what isn't. It should be up withing the next few weeks.(It would come sooner, but I kinda forgot I had 3 papers due on friday and so they are taking up all my time)

Sarcastically Yours!

The good news just keeps on coming....

I might be going to Madrid in 2011 for World Youth Day!!!!!!!!!

Good News Galore!!!!!

Hey, so this isn't going to be a long post just a recap of what has happened since I last blogged. My only sister who shall be called LEO here had nephew #2 on Monday June 21st at 6:45 am. He is named Blaise Dominic and his big bro Matthias(who just turned 2 in May)is completely besotted with him. Blaise was welcomed into the Church on Sunday June 27th in a beautiful ceremony done entirely in Latin. I was unfortunately away when Blaise was born because of music camp, but I got home on Friday so I have had plenty of time to gush over him and tell my sis about all the random people at camp I showed his pictures off to. Until new time...
