Happy Easter

It's been a time for cleaning and taking care of business for me lately. I've been working pretty hard on getting my room into a presentable state--it's been a wreck since the opera, and I never really finished moving into it in the first place. That took up most of the beginning of my spring break, and I'll be doing some more of that tomorrow before I go back to school and face the Les Enfants/Mozart Requiem/Carmina Burana/Finals/Durufle Requiem rush. Phew.

But, this has been a very nice break. Ben and I took my brother to the park, and afterward, I managed to coerce him into drinking a smoothie. With fruit in it. This is a big deal. It was great to get to take him outside and just play for a little while.



Also, just before the break, and through a small miracle, I actually managed to get tickets to Wicked! It was a dream come true, and better than I could ever have expected, and I expected it to be really great. I don't have any pictures from us at the show on my memory card--I'll have to check my computer's hard drive.


Also, we recently went to see Video Games Live, which was AMAZING.



We waited in line for two hours afterward to get autographs at the meet-and-greet. I got there an hour late, because I had to dash there after a mass, so I was pretty pooped when we finally got our autographs at 1am. But, it was totally worth it.




I've also been trucking away diligently on my Traveling Woman, which is going decidedly slowly.



I'm almost done with my third repeat of chart A, but it's still pretty small. Because I knitted so loosely when I first started, I always sized down my needles, but I apparently don't need to do that anymore, because this is quite a bit smaller than it should be, I think. I'm just going to keep on knitting. I have three more balls of this yarn, so I can make it as big as I want. Although, I probably won't make it too big, because it's such a bright color.

Anyway, I hope that everyone is having a lovely weekend in whatever way means most to you. I went on a loot-buying spree last week, and I have to take pictures and get them all posted, so I'll be getting those up soon.

Rest

Midterms are over! I decided to take the day off and extend my weekend. I got done pretty much everything that I needed to do for the weekend today, so now I'm free to rest and relax (AND KNIT!!) for the rest of the weekend. I finished getting together my uniform for Memphis, and I picked up a really cute dress and some shoes along the way!

Our beloved Paul Goussot is returning to France soon, and we'll be very sad to see him go. We took several pictures at his goodbye party on Wednesday but, strangely, the best picture was the one that came out totally yellow:




Now, because I was tagged by my lovely friend Alexz on her blog, I'll now tell you seven things that you didn't know about me.


SEVEN FACTS ABOUT CADENCE:

1. I really like prunes. Most people hate prunes, but I just love their concentrated, sweet flavor. However, I do not like prune juice.

2. I am about ten times more of an introvert now than I was five years ago.

3. For a musician, I listen to very little music.

4. I really hate it when people move my belongings around in my space.

5. I've never seen a movie with Brad Pitt in it that I didn't like. He really is one of my favorite actors.

6. "The Last Days of Judas Iscariot" is, by far, the best play I've ever seen. It changed my life.

7. I love the color red. Deep, rich crimson is the main color in my room.


I really don't have that many people who read my blog, so the only person that I'll tag to do this is Impostination.

Now that I've posted nothing at all about Gaenor, I'm going to go knit so that I can try and get her finished soon. I want to start Traveling Woman before I leave for Memphis.
