Turtle girl...

I joined a choir the other day - She's Up2Something. It's an all girls choir Alice has been singing in.

I have been to some of their performances and deep down have always been a little envious since I love to sing. But this week, Alice opened the door and asked if any of us wanted to join. I was hessitant at first. It is her thing. But after an exuberant approval from Alice, I paid my membership fee and joined.

I also received my contact info for the casting person who is handling the "extras"role I won in the auction at work. I emailed her yesterday and hope she emails me soon. I know one of the projects begins filming this month.

I feel like I am coming out of my shell a little more each day. For any of you who really knows me, you know I am generally outgoing but deep down I have always had a limit on my willingness to put myself out there. In any way. I have always loved the spotlight but would never commit to it. I used to prefer standing just on the perimeter of the spotlight glow.
Not anymore! I am excited about my progress and it is making me excited about my life so much more than I was before.

I do hope I can have a really good experience as an extra either for a tv series or movie depending on what they need me for.

I know I will love the choir but really hope my voice holds up. I can carry a tune but only for so long...

I went grocery shopping a couple nights ago and am so happy with what I ended up buying. Lots of healthy fruits/vegetables and cheeses. I skipped all the junk that used to lure me and having no interest in breads or pasta really makes a difference in my food choices. It really helps me rule certain things out quickly. I know through experimentation that any of the prepackaged microwave foods are terrible tasting and my body rejects them. Even the precooked sausages I bought for breakfasts tasted terrible yesterday morning. I ended up hucking them out the car window on the way to work(sorry!). I am sure the magpies will finish them off for me. ;)

I am going to try and beat the bank again on Energy 101.5. I tried yesterday and the day before ... I was caller #8, #4, #2. On Monday, I got through but lost my chance at $650 when the bank busted! :(

Just proof that I will always have to earn the money I have. I just don't think I am destined to win money or have it given to me. I know deep down I need to earn what I have and in all honesty, that doesn't bother me one bit. I am proud to know I have earned what I have!

I wrote this and forgot to post it so its a few days out of date but here it is...
