ten minutes ago, I saw you

Title inspired by Rogers & Hammerstein’s “Cinderella”!!

So I really needed a new blog. What to blog about, what to blog about…

Last weekend I met my baby cousin, Isabel Grace, for the very first time! She’s very cute. My uncle and his new wife live in the middle of nowhere, out in the country, so it was a long drive out there. It’s kinda cool, being in the country. Very relaxing. I think it’d be cool to live there for a little while. We drove out Saturday morning and got there about midday. We then went to the college town nearby and ate lunch at this really good pizza place, Shakespeare’s Pizza. My dad actually, back in the stone age, worked at one of the very first Shakespeare’s as a pizza maker, so it was probs weird for him to be back there… We then walked around, I tried to take hipster pics, and saw this homeless violinist. I had this overwhelming urge to ask him if I could play his violin, but my common sense got the best of me…I wish I could tell you I showed him up, though! Lol But yeah. We stayed the night, and then went home in the morning, but not after stopping at the Capitol building. It was pretty cool. My dad and I are more of the sightseers, but my sister and mom just really wanted to go home. So they didn’t enjoy it too much!

I’ve also been involved in a local outdoor theatre production of “Cinderella”! I’m not in the cast, but I’m in the pit orchestra. I really, really like it. It’s very laid-back, and the median age is approximately 40. Let’s just say that I’m the only person who not only can’t drive, but hasn’t graduated high school. But I like being the youngest. I get to learn from the older players, and hear about their experiences. It was really weird how I got involved in it. I went to see the same company’s production of “Jesus Christ Superstar” and recognized one of my viola pals, Cody, in the program. I texted him and met up with him and the conductor after the show. The conductor was really, really cool and told me to just show up at Cinderella rehearsal and I’d be in! So I did…and here I am! Gotta love networking
