Twiggy reads my blog. Hi Twiggy. It's finally Friday. 3 more weeks in the cast to go. I go back to the doctor on July 14. In the meantime, I sit here. I've been reading this health book lately. Since I have no choice but to sit on my butt and hope I heal right, I can just imagine gaining all this weight and becoming this huge slob. I'm not the only one in the house who has been stressing over weight. Danny has too. So we've decided to try eating like they did in the Bible. Like only fresh organic foods and stuff. So I've been munching on pistachios instead of popcorn. Had some tomatoes and cucumbers for dinner. I have to lose 33 pounds in order to be considered normal weight. So that's my goal. I figure since I can't exercise all that much right now, I can work on taming my eating habits. My medicine has really caused a big loss of appetite, so it's not the portions I eat that are a problem. It's what I eat. So I'm working on changing that.
On another note: I'm getting baptized Sunday. I'm excited and scared all at the same time. I have had this fear of water for years. I don't even like to look at it. I just started taking baths, and even now I don't last more than 20 minutes. So I know I can do this. It's just I haven't been in a pool for YEARS. Plus I have a cast. This will be quite interesting. But there is good news: my friend Jan is also getting baptized. It's funny because all of my friends are much older than I am. I can't sit and hold an intelligent conversation with people my own age, and I am admittedly more mature than most people my own age. I always have been. So all of my friends are older than me. This friend is married, divorced and has kids that have graduated. and she's the youngest out of my friends. LOL. So yeah. I'm excited because we get to be baptized on the same day. I am still torn as to whether or not I'm going to let the pastor do it or have Danny do it. I really want Danny to do it. It just feels right to have him do it. So I think that's what I'll do.
We're going to work on music tomorrow after we do our organic grocery shopping. That makes me happy. We will finally get to finish the recording on "Holy". I just have to teach him the rest of the harmony on the chorus, and then record my voice on the harmonies and we'll be done. We can finish producing it and move on to finishing the other songs too. We've got like 4 that we have to finish that are in various stages. I really want to start writing again. So hopefully we will get a lot done tomorrow.
Normally on Saturdays we have the ladies from the worship team at church come over and I teach them the songs and the harmonies for the songs and we practice.
That kinda makes me a leader huh? That's a whole other deal. I am not the type of person who thinks of myself positively. I am nothing special. I'm just a normal person and everyone can do things better than I can. But with this singing thing, like everyone there looks to me as their vocal coach. It's weird. I mean, me and Danny have done music on Saturdays for as long as I've been saved. And now these women are asking me for correction and direction and I'm just like "umm ok". It kinda surprises me that they think I have anything to offer, but they do. A lot of people do. The last thing I wanted to be was a leader. And no matter how hard I try not to be one, that's how people see me. And I can't change it. It's kinda scary to have people look up to me. But anyway. It's like midnight so I'm going to bed.
