Out of Pocket

I am going to be out of pocket next week until Thursday [“out of pocket”….that’s a fun expression…sounds very British to me…I can just hear it….. "Oh, Poppet, I will be out of pocket the next few days, so I won’t be ‘round for tea and scones. Cheerio! God save the Queen!”….or something….anyway, chasing those darn rabbits…]. So, there will most likely be no posts on my blog…I know…you are reaching for the Kleenex at this very moment……it is upsetting, I agree…..how will you manage, you are asking?....you will…..I know you can survive….its not too long a time….it will be ok…. ;)

I will be traveling to Nashville on Monday with my entire choir and orchestra to sing at the SBC, which, by the way, stands for Southern Baptist Convention…not the Southwestern Bell Company, nor the Singing Boys Choir ;-)…..

I got the schedule for the whole event last week, and I get exhausted just looking over the schedule. Allow me to share the juicy parts of it:

Monday- 5:45 a.m.!!!!- Be at the church to load the buses. Ride a bus all day. Arrive in Nashville at 6 p.m.. Probably won’t get to bed until at least 10 or 11.

Tuesday- 5:45 a.m. again!!: Be up and ready in time to load the buses. Spend all day at the Gaylord Entertainment Center singing and hanging out while not singing. Eat at some point during the day. Leave the GEC at 10:00 p.m. that night. Go to bed after that.

OH, forgot…Turn 25 for the second time [or, 26 if you prefer] at 6:17 p.m.

Wednesday: get to sleep in a little….don’t have to load up until 9:30 a.m. Again, do the singing/hanging out thing until after 9:30 p.m.

Thursday- 9:00 a.m.-arrive back in Springdale. Go home and crash.

:P WHEW! Yeah. Its supposed to be fun :) [and it….will be…I know…I hope…]
