My Turn!
Hhhhhmmmm! 7 Things about myself.
1. I am an opera singer! That is my niche in life. My first solo was at my church when I was in 4th grade! I sang "Lord I Need You" on a Sunday night. Today, I live in the Chicago Suburbs studying and working to build a career in music---specifically opera. I am a light lyric coloratura soprano that would sing Elixir of Love, Pirates of Penzance, Die Fledermaus---lots of Gilbert and Sullivan, Donizetti, and Mozart!
2. I am also a voice teacher. Yes, I love the whole package---Performing and Teaching. Currently my teaching is a part time job after my full time job office hours. But my students bring me joy and energy. I love them all and love being a part of the lives and music. I have a very talented studio and often find myself bragging on them. I also have a very diverse studio, ranging from 8 years old to 35 of all cultures and races!
3. Like my sister and my mom, I love tea. My favorite place to go is Teavana. My goal is to try all of their teas. I am almost done! :) I love the art of it---the steeping, preciseness of time, measurement, and heating, and the relaxing of it. However, that said, I am also like Stacye that I must have my one cup of coffee several times a week. I love coffee too. Not that syrupy junk, but a good flavored blend of Folgers Gourmet or Eight O'Clock. I am very picky with my coffee. Almost as much as my tea. No Maxwell House for me! Get it right or don't make it at all.
4. I am single. No man in my life yet. And to be quite blunt, I am ok with that. I am enjoying my life. My spare time is filled with the busyness of teaching, researching, practicing, and going out with friends on the weekends. I love attending recitals and concerts at CSO or Lyric Opera. Yet I also enjoy movie nights or game nights with friends. I try to plan one big outing with my friends a weekend---whether Friday night, Saturday, or Sunday afternoon. To me you don't have to spend money to have friends.
5. I literally had a nail drilled into my head when I was young. Yep that was Sheri's fault! We were swinging on our board swings two different ways and crossed just right. The nail put a hole in my head. Guess that is why I have no common sense to this day!
6. My goal is to own a Papillon puppy, teach voice, and sing professionally. I think the small pup goes with the Diva Attitude.
7. HHHMMM! What can I fit in last minute. I don't have a favorite movie, but enjoy movies of all kind---Pride and Prejudice, Hogan's Heroes, Night at the Museum, Lord of the Rings, National Treasure, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers---I consider myself a well-rounded movie watcher! I hate shopping. When I go, I have a list and move in and out! I listen to music of all kinds---classical, sacred, theatre, light, whatever! I actually enjoy shooting! And I like exercising and cooking! :)
So folks, Do I lead a boring life? You be the deciding factor.
