Howdy ya'll from Nashville TN. The good, Our girls
group won, the curse seems to be gone, I love, love , love a room by
myself ( more later), Our solo boy in mixed won best male vocalist
twice. The not so good, The encore group made me cry ( the group
that lost three members in a tornado,) The good for them, they won
Grand championship, five thousand dollars was raised for them and will
be matched by I forgot what show choir organization. The not the
best, our mixed group was third runner up. The good, hey they
made finals in a very competitive venue. The bad, our director
said he would shave his head if they won, they didn't. The bad
and good, I will never have another child compete in a show choir
competition again. The weird, the tornado groups song's all fit
the tragedy, but they picked their songs before it happened. One
song was about nobody being left behind. It was freaky. The
bad, the judges were big prudes and made us take the word slutty out of
our show and nixed the kiss that the bride and groom did. Those
two small things took a lot from the show if you ask me. The slut
thing " I'm like her fairy God Mother" " Only slutty" got
big laughs from the audience, that energized the kids. The new "
seriously" got no laughs and was stupid. The not doing a stage
kiss was dumb too, it's not like they were making out, grrrrr.I have decided when my millions come in from my order I am going to get
my own hotel room. My sister and Matt had discussed that I just
needed my own dorm room to live. In reality though, I need a
hotel room, with room service, a hot tub on the premises, , and of course the maid. I like the swivel TV. too, you
can watch it from any angle. Having one down south would be nice
too. They are all so friendly here. My shuttle driver (
fancy word for bus folks) was so nice it bordered on fake nice, but was
real. And they say things like sweetie and hon even if your not
dating and even if your the same sex. In fact they will say it even if
your a complete stranger. They also act like your
really cute and nice, even if your not. You can be as bitchy as
you want and they are like " well aren't you just the cutest
thang". I could get used to that, I think. Well, flying home
tomorrow, I'll try and catch up with you then and I'll try and lose my
new southern drawl, as I think that might confuse the boys at work. "
Why you talk like that Miss Laura?"Thanks for the comments, it's very nice to come here from my hotel and see people are still interested. Catch ya tomorrow.

:catdance1:Now that I've claimed first!!!
Laura,
I'm so glad that I found you again!! I closed my last site (candyguitarstar) and have a new one.
I have a habit of saying "Sweetie" to people....sometimes I get a double take, then always a smile.
Sigh...I love being called sweetie and honey.
I'm subscribing to you right now!!
Love, Candy
I can always tell I am back South when strangers call me darling and sweetie. I have to admit, I like it.
You know you could always train the kids to be your little servants. That would be like maid service. Yeah, I know that's gonna happen. Only people who never procreated think that.
I love going down south, sometimes they are hard to understand, like in Tennessee when they talk real fast with the drawl.............Congrats to the girls, even if the boys didn't do as well as they hoped!
Congrats on your own room! YAHOO!
Love you, Laura! Wow, thanks for finding the time to update us! I at least have learned how to leave a Pulse comment! I'm sure seeing your last show choir performance is bittersweet (especially since it is your youngest). So many "lasts" in the senior year. I'm really glad you got to go - and that you had your own room! :zanygrin16:
Kathi
wow sounds like you have had a great time....what an experience to go thru and there was plenty of good mixed in with the bad:):pms7: <_i like that lol
People in the South have a much more laid back attitude with life. :yay19: :yay19: :yay19:on having your own room.
Poo on the prudes.
I'm glad the competition has been a success and that you are getting a taste of our good ole Southern Hospitality here in Nashville. :yay19: Have a safe flight back home!
It's hard going up against a group who has suffered a tragedy. You want them to win 'cause you feel bad, but of course you're really rooting for your own group.
I always heted it when the censors had to get involved in choir...luckily, we did a lot of french, spanish, and german songs that they didn't catch the "language"...ha ha!
Hubby and I have been looking into buying a retirement place down south...it's nice to know people are friendly there.
Whaale honeee weeze glad ya did well in the competition. If Gore could lose the Tenessee accent, I'd figgure you could too.
I could get used to maid service but I'd rather not because power at times is so unfair. If only I could have a perfect balance of work and leisure, then I would have to find other things to improve upon.
Like for instance I am not wearing green (though your green chili qualifies you for not getting pinched) or haven't ....(this and that)....
Gads bad news spreads fast here at xanga. I am the third person with the pet food recall. Oh well at least Regis is thru with his heart bipass, I always believed he was high strung....
So glad the curse is broken... personally, I think it was my words of wisdom that broke it... YEA ME!!!!
Isn't that strange about the tornado kids and their music choices? Sometimes you wonder if someone was watching over them and knew, so it led them to that music.... yep....
thanks for keeping us updated... you are a good mama:girldance30:
They should have changed the word from "slutty" to something worse. "Bitchy" or "Skanky" maybe.
If you come live down south, you'll have to learn the most important phrase of all: "Well bless your heart!"
It can mean anything you want it to mean. Sometimes it means "Thank you." It can mean "Good job!" Or it can mean "You poor thing!" But most often it means "You're not very bright are you?"
When the kids grow up they'll be able to say slutty all they want.:lol29:
They nixed the stage kiss?! And they couldn't use the word slutty? That's a bit too strict if you ask me. :question27:
Well, shoot! If I'd have known you were coming to my neck of the woods I'd have given you a list of cool stuff to see/do. And yep, southern hospitality is alive and well here. Y'all come back now soon, y'hear! :lol29:
Glad it is going well!!
glad you got to get away & enjoy yourself ... you deserve a hotel room of your own with full service ...
Emily and I burst out laughing when arriving at the Nashville airport. The announcement over the intercom was impossible to understand due to the southern drawl.
