Enchanted

We had the oddest program this week, although it flowed together quite well and was well received by the audience.  We played the Pulcinella Suite (Stravinsky), 2 violin concertos -Barber and Prokofiev, and Shostakovich's Symphony #1.  The Barber violin concerto is one of my favorites, and I really enjoy both Pulcinella and Shosti #1.  This is a weird statement from me, because I'm known for my love of Beethoven, and Brahms...and all things from the Romantic period (or Classical).  I have decided that I will most likely walk down the aisle to the first :59 seconds from the Prokofiev Violin Concerto #2.  :)  It's lovely.  Check it out (and I prefer the slower tempo).

What's also lovely?  Having an entire weekend to stay in bed as long as I want.  Today wasn't exactly as long as I'd prefer, but definitely sufficed! :)  Yesterday, I woke up when I wanted and watched movies and Law and Order SVU all day.  Today, the same, and I'm watching movies until I have to go to work.  :)  I think that one of my all time favorite movies is now Enchanted.  I couldn't keep from smiling the entire time I was watching it FOR THE FIRST TIME yesterday.  I can't believe I haven't seen it for so long!  My life was so empty and I had no clue!   Haha.  I also got to watch Legally Blonde again.  Love that one too.  If you haven't seen Enchanted, PLEASE go watch it...and it's totally appropriate for kids too.

Even though we are supposed to have snow this week, and by the weekend, single digit temps (AGAIN), I'm in a joyful mood, and want to sing all day long....

Love and joy for the rest of your weekend!
