I stopped at Michael's today to buy a tote for the kid's cake decorating stuff. They had the tote-- and also a partially prefilled version which, with coupon, was a bargain, so I got that. It was fun to watch her bounce while she looked at all the fun stuff!

Once again I couldn't get into the local church this morning, so I went to Burlington to practice. Treated myself to lunch out and a haircut. I had a delightful waitress who took the time to help me get a good dairy-free lunch despite the fact that it was very busy. I tipped well, of course.

Yesterday my subconscious got involved in my music planning. I was wrestling with how to fit a bunch of bold, upbeat pieces together, and which of them to play as offertory. Suddenly I thought, or heard a voice, or something, "why not play something more contemplative for offertory?" Dug through my bag, found two such pieces, picked one, and then all those other pieces fell into place. Today I chose organ descants to go with two hymns, and I'll do solo trumpet verses on one of those hymsn and one other, so it should be a fairly impressive day. It's so fun to play for a congregation musical enough to be comfy with descants and free harmonizations.

February always gives me spring fever-- there are these days when the light looks like spring, even though there's still snow on the ground. And birds are starting to return already.

We'll be trying something new this weekend-- moose meatloaf! A friend at church gave me the meat and the recipe. Should be fun!
