today, Monday, September 19, is “talk like a pirate day” – hence the pirate-speak on the blog. got this fabulous plugin that turns all the text into pirate speak. =) will be trying out some new filters (among them, “swedish chef” and “elmer fudd”) in the next couple of days.

it was a good weekend. the IWS had a concert on Saturday afternoon – part of Gumbo Aid, a series of concerts at which the Red Cross was collecting donations to help out in the Gulf Coast. after that, went out to dinner with some of the neatest people – 5 couples (including us) from our church – and laughed until my sides ached. had about 7 glasses of DP, too, so it was a great night. =)

church on Sunday, choir practice after lunch. choir practice was great! I have so much fun singing, and even more singing well. after practice, the director pulled some of us aside to work on a Tallis piece – it’s fun to be the only girl singing with a bunch of guys. I love it when I can sing one on a part.

Monday Night Football at our house tonight! show up for some free, homemade and really really good garlic tomato pizza.
