Hectic-ness

I'm still rehearsing like crazy the Schubert quintet and Grieg quartet for Thursday night's performance (Nick's DMA chamber music recital), Molly and I are performing the Copland again for an extra recital that she wanted to do on Wednesday, and today I finally had the wedding that I contracted and had been anticipating since first hearing from the bride around last August. Thank GOODNESS thats done. It was 52 degrees outside, and my violin is probably cursing me in agony, but we did it. Why does ANYONE think planning an outdoor wedding in the first part of May in New England is a good idea???

I think I should start putting in contracts that if its below 65, we charge an extra $100.

In other news:

~Hannah Ruth is coming to Boston for a week long visit starting this Tuesday. I am SO excited. Oh my lord.

~Graduation day is May 18th, next Sunday.

~I am sitting principal 2nd for Back Bay Chorale in two weeks. We're doing Mendelssohn's Elijah.

~I forgot my mother's 60th birthday this past Sunday. In the impulse of guilt and really wanting to do something nice, I sent her some really nice flowers on Monday. So nice, in fact, my dad told Hannah "Heather shouldn't have done this! She can't afford it!" Luckily, I had a coupon so they were NOT that expensive. Luckily, also, my mother was quite forgiving for the fact I forgot. That is now the third family member birthday in a year that I have forgotten. I'm losing my mind.

Check back soon for some exciting news - I have to wait a little bit yet before I can post anything about it.
