You want to know what really hacks me off? Well you better because I’m going to tell you whether you want me to or not. I love to sing. LOVE it. I sing on the praise team and in the choir at church. Recently, the music director asked me to sing a song with the choir, something I’ve only done one other time. It’s a scary, scary thing, singing in front of a bunch of people, especially when you don’t sing all that wonderfully. (I am my own worst critic and at times become absolutely disgusted with myself after singing something. I have my brilliant singing moments, rarely, but am no Carrie Underwood.) So I had maybe 3-4 weeks to learn this song. Normally, that's no problem, except for the fact that my cd player in my car ATE a cd and quit working. It takes me 20ish minutes to get to work everyday plus I ride around a lot in my line of work, giving me a lot of time to practice the song. Well now that my cd player in my car is broken, obviously I can't practice! So I try to practice at home, but honestly I can't concentrate all that great when I know Brad is outside the door listening and by the time I get home from work each day, the last thing I want to do is work for two more hours on singing. I want to see my husband and Bella! So I tried to practice the song, but it just didn't sound good. Some parts were a little too high for me, mainly because my range sucks. So I let the music director know and he worked on it with me and it actually got a little better. I was good to go. Then tonight at choir practice, we practiced my song, which we will be singing in a week and a half. I am singing along, everything is going swimmingly, here comes the high note........!!AGR?B?SG?!!.....comes out of my mouth. OBVIOUSLY, very very obviously I jacked the note WAY up. And the choir wasn't even singing at this point, so everyone's ears were on ME and my baaad note. As soon as it comes out, I turn around and give a look of sincerest apology to their ears. Completely humiliating. You know it's bad when my tone deaf husband agrees that I messed it up. Please bury me under a rock so I don't have to sing that song in a week and a half. Please!!!
