Haaa...you are funny and I love the tidbits. I feel for you on the insomnia - that's a regular pastime for me as well. What a nightmare it is lying in bed, knowing you have to be up in a matter of hours but you just can't fall asleep for the life of you! Seriously, it's a horrible feeling.
ReplyDeleteSo I get the sense that you are a choir teacher, but that you wouldn't have minded being a drama teacher as well? Is that correct? And if I am correct, they why aren't you the drama teacher? I imagine you have a heavy load with raising your boys, going to school, and teaching. I'm impressed! Lately I have begun to realize that it's about time I learn how to balance multiple areas of my life all at the same time. That seems to be what all the 'grown-ups' are able to do. Well, I'm working on it and am glad to see that you are making it happen. I'll humor you with a tidbit or two of my own.
* Oprah once sought me out to be on her show because of a letter I wrote her
* I love a baby lisp. (meaning, I love to hear someone talk who has a slight speech impediment)
* Every year for Halloween I dress up as something or someone that is pregnant
-Wow...these little known facts might make us all look a little crazy:)
Hi Rebekka,
ReplyDeleteWay to make my blog look lame:) It is great to meet another artistic soul in this class. Even though I am bad at harmonies, I still love to sing. I have auditioned for numerous Broadway shows, so maybe you can help me with some voice lessons:) I don't know how people like you get the time to create a blog? Do you have more than 24 hours in a day? Let me know, because I would like to purchase more hours! I love your fun fact #16 !!! I also have a fun fact....I've been sting by the stingray:) Surprisingly I am still alive. I guess there is still a purpose for us in this world! Nice to meet you!
