Hold My Tea, I'm Hardcore

    Welcome to random update Wednesday! So, updates.... let's see... I have a vocal coach, now. We've been working on strengthening my voice so that I can sing higher and lower and longer. It's hard! I am so excited that I have someone who knows what they're doing. :) What else... I really am trying to figure out a way to get my first cover recorded so I can put it online. With conflicting schedules of everyone involved, and the fact that I've had a week-and-a-half-long sore throat, nothing seems to be going as planned, but since when have I not been stubborn? Oh, that's right, NEVER. :D

    I haven't got much else to say at this moment, but I do have a coaching session in an hour, so I really ought to go now. Therefore, I shall now leave you with this fascinating list of how strange Colorado is.

You Know You Are From Colorado If…

・You eat ice cream in the winter, usually using snow from your doorstep to make said ice cream.

・When the weather report says it’s going to be 55 degrees, you wear shorts.

・It snows 10 inches and you don’t expect school to be cancelled.

・You wear flip flops every day of the year, regardless of the temperature.

・You have no accent at all, but can hear other peoples'.

・“Humid” is any reading over 25%.

・Directions to anywhere include “toward the mountains” and “away from the

mountains”.

・You say you have to go “down the hill” or “up the hill” and everyone knows what you mean.

・You think that May is a normal month for a blizzard. Or June. 

・You buy your flowers on Mother’s Day, but hold off planting them until just before Father’s Day.

・You grew up planning your Halloween costumes around your coat and boots.

・You know what the Continental Divide is.

・You went to Casa Bonita as a kid, and still go, despite the fact that the food tastes like death and destruction.

・You’ve gone off-roading in a vehicle that was never intended for such activities. :D

・You always know the elevation of where you are.

・You wake up to a beautiful, 80 degree day and you wonder if it’s going to snow tomorrow.

・You don’t care that some company renamed it, the Broncos still play at Mile High Stadium, everyone knows that.

・Everybody wears jeans to church, and during football season, everyone wears their jerseys and hats and gloves and scarves, too.

・You know that South Park is actually a real place, not just a show on TV.

・You know what a “trust fund hippy” is, and you know its natural habitat is Boulder.

・You know you’re talking to a fellow Coloradan when they call it Elitches, not Six Flags.

・A bear on your front porch doesn’t bother you, but a stranger makes you take out your gun. Or set the dogs loose.

・When people out East tell you they have mountains in their state too, you just chuckle.

・You go anywhere else on the planet and the air feels “sticky” and you notice the sky is no longer blue. Unless you go to Nepal, that is. ;)

・98% of Americans scream before going in the ditch on an icy road. The other 2% are from Colorado and they say, “Hold my coffee and watch this.” Or in my case, "Hold my tea- @#$ %^%^&* #$**- thanks, let's go home now."

    Type to you all later, have a loverly day!
