okie dokie then. music service in three-ish hours. i think we're going to be ok. ::knocks on wood:: the pieces are all in good shape - as long as they get their frickin faces out of the music. 'twas always thus. and, i suspect, will be forever more. but they're all scared of singing so much hebrew so they're afraid to look up from the words. i just want to not screw up. that's not too lofty a goal, is it?

i wonder if starbuckle will still be coming. i'm being told to get the hell out of dodge immediately after the service so as to avoid the latest stormage. ::sigh:: fine. bring it on today. just clear it away by monday evening because

omgrotkomgrotkomgrotkomgrotkomgrotkomgrotkomgrotk!!!!!1!!1!!!!!!!111!!1

i can't really imagine the weather that would keep me away from my nyc trilogy tuesday. omgomg. ok. i have to switch those thoughts off now and get back to the Great Miracle of Chanukah which we lift up in song today. mmm. and then. oh yes. rotk24/7baby.

ok, um, cimorene111? did you have a birthday? and i missed it?

ok. right. here goes! al hanissim...

:D <- me

wow. i feel really, really good right now. we just got home a bit ago and the snow's coming down fast. i can really feel the calm this time - the cocoon-y feeling that snow brings that i love so much. i'm calm. it's great.

the service went very, very well, imo. the singers had fun, the congregation seemed to really appreciate the music. especially the few jewish members we have. one told me he'd never heard a performance of choral music like this in any synagogue he'd been to. one thanked us for bringing back memories of his youth. that felt really good. haha! to those doubters who were all whiney about not doing a christmas service. one guy said today that he thinks i'm the best thing that's happened to their church. while that may have been a little overblown and in-the-moment and all, it practically made me cry. i let myself get too stressed out by the negativity of one or two people. i forgot how wonderfully positive and supportive everyone else is. not one person today said they wished it had been a christmas service. and the choir did a really great job with the music, hebrew and all. i feel great. and i was so glad to have my dad and E and mmm_cake and starbuckle there. snuggly, happy day.

and now i can be the squeeing fangirl i am meant to be and OMG! ROTK!!! yeah. whew. fucking excited, over here.

ahhahaha. when we got home, we realized that rach had accidentally changed our answering machine message on friday when trying to leave a message for me. so instead of the usual, "for phineas press 2, for rach press..." callers heard, " i love you, honeeeeeey! mwah!" aahehaheha. oops.

ooh, and starbuckle! i know what we can do! we can watch snl! eee!

whee! ::removes 'stressed out' filter::
