The winner gets to sing with Rascal Flatts.

just a daydreamer : a "wanna-believer"

Wow. It has been MONTHS since I've updated this. And months since I updated the music myspace, and added new youtube videos and geez-louise, am I behind. Can you tell music and singing isn't in the fore-front of my mind? Right now I'm concentrating more on photography and writing...

And not being so damn shy. Goodness gracious, it is a death-sentence, let me tell you. Not being able to talk to certain people without feeling like you're going to be deathly ill is serious stuff. But then again, I sometimes get ill just looking at myself so yeah. Maybe I should fix my outlook on myself, then maybe I won't be so shy anymore? We shall see...

So yeah.
This was just a hodge-podge excuse to update this. Nothing really. Just random, more or less.

And from the request of a friend/co-worker, I am "penning" a so-called autobiography. I'd be surprised if anyone other than her read it.

it's RSV season...

So I work at a hospital, and it's RSV/pneumonia season.
However, I don't blame that for my cold. I blame the snow... Yesterday? No. Two days ago I was sitting on my couch, quite a lazy day... reading and I looked out the window and thought, wow, the snow looks beautiful (thinking it was only going to snow an inch or two, like was forecasted). I looked out the window an hour or two later and was surprised to find there was a good additional six inches.
I do not recall the last time we've have this much snow this early in the year.
I really should have gotten my act together and finished my demo so I could spend the winter in California or someplace warm... at least warmer than here. As it is, I didn't. And right now I can't because my voice has gone to the ... frogs. And I have minimal hearing out of my left ear. Sucks...
Maybe I have vitamin-C laying around...

not so Winter Wonderland ...

I've never truly been a "blogger", however, I do like to write so maybe I will try my hand at this blogging thing that has taken the country (world) by storm, and maybe I, too, will find it useful... Although Facebook and myspace have failed to be useful to me...
So yeah. Anyways.
If you know me, you know that I like to sing and write... and if you REALLY know me, you know that I was on the dance team in high school (I would so go back to school for that and only that. Well... and Vocal Jazz).
And if you REALLY REALLY know me, you know that winter is SO not my season.
However, I don't know that anyone knows me enough to know that looking out the window makes me cringe. Yes, once upon a time, I enjoyed the winter. Snow days (which were too few; much less than the past few years), sledding, snowmobiling...
But eventually, sledding-induced asthma attacks make you not enjoy sledding anymore, and being thrown from the snowmobile every time you ride makes you not enjoy snowmobiling anymore. So that leaves me with driving in the crap.
I had errands to run this morning and on my way home, I played bumper cars with two medians, and my brakes failed on me, all due to this wonderful thing called SLUSH.
That's another thing I liked when I was younger. Making slush puddles and jumping in them.
And I'm sure if I had the correct apparel, I'd still enjoy that. However, I do not. Oh! I have a pair of snow pants from my snowboarding stint a few years ago, but I do not believe I have snow boots anymore.
Due to my bumper car stint with the medians, I stopped paying attention to my Bonus Jonas CD (I've known all the words to their songs before the cd(s) came out... so no attention is required) -- and started working on a new song. Right now, all I've got is:

I've got no one to kiss

Under the mistletoe

Just all of this

Cold, cold snow

And like the black ice,

Just thinking of you

I'm losing control.

...Yeah. It needs work.

I'm also a flip flop kind of girl. It has been KILLING me to not wear flip flops this winter (and we're not even officially in winter...) -- I'm the type of girl who will flip flops year round, given the chance. But I haven't been wearing them this snowy season because I have a new pair of jeans and a black pair AND a brown pair of heeled boots, so flip flops are not necessary. That is, until today.
Like I said, I had morning errands. Unfortunately, my jeans and sweats and everything basically, was in the washer. All I had was hoodies and sweat capris. You cannot wear tennis shoes or boots with capris (unless they're cute, and I mean CUTE, tennis shoes... which I do not own), so I had to wear flip flops. Again, unfortunately, it snowed last night (imagine that...). So I had to walk to my car in my flip flops, through the snow. I did an ok job of it. And when I got home, I would have done an ok job of it, too, if it hadn't continued snowing.
But, being Wisconsin, it had continued snowing. So I had to shovel in my sweat capris and flip flops. I'm sure my neighbors thought it was a sight. And I was doing an ok job of that until the snow that I shoveled onto the grass came back at my feet.
It's been thirty minutes.
I can finally feel my toes again.
...I should probably check my laundry, though, if I plan on having clothes for work.
Luckily, work is at the hospital, so scrubs are the uniform of choice, except it's not truly a choice...
And goodness knows I have plenty of scrubs.

Grrr... The snow is coming down in huge, fat flakes.

You don't know how much I want to start singing professionally just so I can live on a bus and not be in Wisconsin for too many days at a time...
