Disneyworld



One of the perks of being at the MA conference is getting really cool gifts and prizes. This year the network decided to raise funds to send us ALL to Disneyworld for one whole day! WHOOHOO!!

We were so excited. You could choose to attend one of the five Disney "worlds" on our ticket and spend the day there. We chose MGM Studios.

We got up ready for a fantastic day - "the happiest celebration on earth" as the sign boasted...and were met with the horrible Liquid sunshine. That's right it rained...well actually it POURED!!!! really bad ALL Day!




But that wouldn't squash our day...we trudged out in the rain and attended ALL of the events we could in one day. Actually the lines were very small, and we couldn't help but laugh at the whole mess!

There weren't many rides - there seemed to be more shows or experiences instead. But my favourite was the Aerosmith Roller Coaster. Other fun events: Who wants to be a millionaire, Beauty and Beast, Indiana Jones, The Muppets, and NARNIA!

And Carlene can't you see the Lion on my shirt...well it's NO huge fashion statement, but it was either buying the super cheap Lion shirt, or freeze to death - it really was a dilemma...

I don't know what's better, your post or the comments! Sounds like you're having a great time even in the rain! I think Devinder and i will be over in Vanpooper around Feb 24 so we'll have to arrange a visit then.

Take care,

Burstin' With Broadway!

Image
I've joined an awesome choir called Burstin' with Broadway. It is so much fun cause it's open to anyone that wants to be a part of a choir for fun, and all the songs that we sing are Broadway type musicals. We only meet once a week, and throughout the week we have a CD to practice with (many of the choir members actually can't read music) But it's so amazing to see how excited everyone is to be a part of this choir and how surprised they are at themselves for what they have accomplished. Somedays it's surprises me to. In the photo you will see some of the compilations we are singing this season. We will soon be singing our pieces in some elite places like the local old folks home...and our final concert will be June 10/06, at a United church in North Vancouver. Click here for the website!

The Art of Making Mistakes

Image
  I don't know if you have ever struggled with your "bits n pieces" of art being good enough for general public viewing.  I love to draw doodley art/tangles/words... mindlessly on bits of paper especially while watching TV or listening to music.  I would never classify it as "fine" art.  I do it to relax - and because I'm  trying to slow down, I'll often make errors in the process from impatience or distraction. They are far from perfect. Not poetically beautiful. Not necessarily powerful or inspirational.  And are littered with mistakes. A few weeks ago, I saw my talented son draw a beautiful picture and half way through, throw it in the bin.  I asked him why he would throw away such a beautiful piece of work and he grunted "too many mistakes" and then "Its not how I imagined it to look." Oh boy - did I relate!   We want to hide our mistakes or start over... forget that we were so stupid to make such a big blunder in the first place.
