I slipped this one in under the wire! All thanks to my bestest sister, Bella, because she can create videos in record time.
And I keep pushing her to break her last record. I think she sort of hates me sometimes. ;)
Anyway, way back when Cinderella first came out I thought about how fun it would be to do a cover of Lavender's Blue. There was just something about the tune that I really liked and it was stuck in my head for ages.
This one I wanted to do my own backup. I didn't want karaoke. I wanted it to be me.
So, this is not one of the best video's I've ever created, but I probably put the most work into it.
It was fun and 'let-me-pull-my-hair-out' frustrating at the same time. Recording is such a complicated thing and nothing went right the first time with this song.
Well...let me know what you think! I still can't decide how I feel about it. I have a love-hate relationship with most of the music I share. *grin*
I have lost the handle I used to think I had on my life.
I. Can. Not. Get. Organized. To. Save. My. Life.
The longer I've been away from blogging, the harder it's been for me to write again. I've opened my laptop a couple times with the best intentions in the world and just sat there like:
After Memorial Day slipped by and June slapped me over the face a few times, I was like, "Right! Time to get back on the proverbial bike and...and...Ride it,dang it!"
So here I sit.
(Side note. It's rather disturbing to be gone from your blog so long that you actually forget what it looks like.I just sat there like, "When did I make it blue?...That will have to change....What on earth did I do to the formatting? That will also have to change..." Awkward.)
And the best thing to do, it would seem, is to sort of fill you on on what's been going on in my life. Not to worry, it wont take all that long. *Sneer*
In order of awesomeness:
Number One:
I am taking the singing class at the college this quarter! *Dances*
There's an issue with how many times a person can sign up for the same class and I had definitely maxed out on my repeat-ability...
But the teacher was offering the class at a time that I could get to without having to make adjustments to my work schedule... and some of my other sisters were enrolled so I thought, "What the heck, I might as well try to sign up"
Mysteriously, I signed up without a hiccup! It was like a fabulous little miracle, all wrapped in tissue paper with a giant bow on top!
Two words; Private Lessons.
Also, solos. It's been forever since I've had the chance to perform and I'm very,very rusty. *Snarls*
(I'm toying with the idea of posting my class solo, as bad of quality as it will probably be...what do you all think?)
So yes. That's my number one big deal.
Number Two:
I bit the bullet and bought a guitar! *More dancing*
Meet Murdock. He is fabulous and has a full, rich voice. He is the bomb-diggety!
In case you're wondering, no, I can't really play the poor dear yet. I want to. I practice. I get frustrated and eyeball my fingers accusingly.
"Oh evil fingers! You betrayed me! Bend, dang it! BEND!"
Then I usually end up putting on my gloves and hitting the punching bag for a while.
Perhaps I exaggerate.
I love to make noise on the beautiful contraption, and my sister is surprisingly patient with me. I'm pretty much like this:
Watch the video. Do it. Click it. PLAY IT!
Happily, I have found a channel on youtube that seems like it's going to be very helpful in my learning. The fellow is really easy to watch and he explain things really well and...he reminds me of a goofy Rory Williams. Seriously.
This one is futuristic, but I'm excited about it so it makes the list. So there.
I'm (hopefully) taking a hand-to-hand combat class and a knife fighting class in August this year!
IT'S TERRIFYING AND WONDERFUL! I'll get to HIT things!
I'm still working out the details. I'm actually a timid little thing and don't want to go without a sister...or a friend....or an acquaintance. Somebody...
BUT HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT!
Number four:
I am almost done with my floral design course and if all goes well, I will find myself with a pay raise. *Pulls out the ahooga horn*
That will be glorious! That will be fa-hab-u-lous!
Three things. That's the extent of my news in three months.
Could be worse.
As far as my hopes and dreams for this blog in the future, it's vague still, it's very Hit and Miss (see what I did there) and it's still a work in progress.
But I'm planning on a post a week. That's my goal. I have goals. *Pats self on back*
Now I'm shall leave you with a song. Because that's what I feel like doing. Ha.
I don't know what it is lately, but this song has been my thing. It's my, "I'm off work, time to turn up the music and head home, singing at the top of my lungs," song.
It is so much 'the thing' right now that I wrote out some of my favorite lyrics. 'Cause I do that.
So it's Thursday and not Wednesday like I hoped. But it's still April and I still managed to squeeze in my cover song for the month.
You may applaud any time.
I'm in the midst of helping my bestie get ready for her wedding, *Gaaaah!* This includes doing all the flowers for the wedding, with the help of two of my sisters.
It's awesome and a little bit scary.
Weddings are wonderful, exciting, slightly bitter-sweet things.
Now if I can make it down the isle in a cute but wobbly pair of heals without tripping or sliding, that will just make everything great.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by, enjoy the song and I'll see you 'round later!
