Aug. 23, 2009 - Oh a title box. Wonder what it's for.
*comes in smiling*
Thank you so much all of you for the wonderful birthday parties and wishes! I cannot express how marvelous I felt when I saw all of them. *hugs everybody and gives them some cake*
The trip to the Alzheimer's/Retirement Home went well. There was only a few tomatoes to pick, but that's alright. So I kind of...forgot the notes to the songs. haha, um. Yeah. I forgot one note, I panicked and a lot of other notes were lost. Kind of blanked out. That's okay, they still liked it. I think. The...people's favorite song was "You are My Sunshine" so I have to remember that one.
If for some weird reason you'd like to know what a few of my presents were...
This adorable little egghead thing! *grins* This was from my little brother. It's a golfball with a face he drew on it, some string, and a plastic egg hat. I loveths it verily! *giggles*Also, that white blouse I am wearing was a gift from my Grandma. It's an old-fashioned inspired shirt I believe.
One of my favorite presents was a book. *smiles* naturally. It is called...
'Hinds' Feet on High Places.' *hugs the book* If you remember, I did a little recommendation about it before from seeing it on Pip's old review blog.
Well, I read it and it has earned a place in one of my Favorites books. Not just a favorite, but a Favorite. Yes. It's that's good.
And you've probably heard of the Lamplighter books. I got one of those, and I cannot wait to read it. It sounds very interesting.
I have something else to tell you. I have a new favorite song artist.
Sarah Kelly.
She's really great.
She sang at our church last night and we were blown away! She's a wonderful songwriter and we were blessed to be able to hear one of her new songs.
*small laugh* If you heard her speak, she speaks in this really sweet voice...and then she starts singing.
haha, she has this really strong, kind of husky voice.
It's beautiful. =)
If you haven't heard her, I'd encourage you to listen. Her songs have been featured on Grey's Anatomy and she's also written for Kelly Clarkson.
Heads up, she writes Christian songs. [woohoo!]
After church, Ms. Kelly was so kind as to sign my CD and spent a little while talking to me and giving me really fantastic tips for songwriting. This is her, me, and my sisters. Yes, I am the one with the green scarf and that's her, the tallest.
Ever His,
Zel
p.s. Laura, pictures!
edit: I have recently been told I have won Taylor's Template Giveaway! So thank you LLT! Also, since I will be changing the template to the template she will be making for me, I just thought I'd take the opportunity to utterly destroy my blog. I'm so sorry Grace dear for wrecking your gorgeous template!
Yeah, so the llama is temporary.

*approves* Those are very nice pictures.
*stops being The Authoress and screams* WHOOT!! Trys, yer loverly! I love your glasses and I love your hair and I love your twinkling eyes and, gosh, I just love YOU! *grinz*
Aw, that is nice that you got to meet that lady. And that is coolio that you got to talk a lot with her and that she gave you tips. Before I joined Inklings, I was still wondering if I could write and I met this author, and he gave me advice and encouragement. I mean, it's great getting encouragement from friend, but it's really awesome getting encouragement from a pro, ya know? Am I talking too much? Yes, I am. Should I shuddup? Nah.
The song you said that the peoples liked, are we thinking av the same song, does it go like "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey"? Or is it different? Just wonderin'.
Okay, okay, I'll shuddup now! I need to go write...
Love you!
