My List #73

Go to the Symphony

I know that I haven't done much with my list lately, but this last Saturday I did... Mike and I went to the Symphony on Saturday night! We saw the Utah Symphony perform Dvorak's "New World" Symphony. It was incredible! I want to go again and again! I felt like my IQ was raised just a little bit by being there and listening to those movements.
I also decided that the best instrument to play in the symphony is the triangle. I would love to play the triangle. It's an instrument that you learn to play in Kidergarten but is also vital to an Orchestra. I could totally see myself up there ringing the dig-a-ling-a-ling of the triangle.

Reason #23 and #22

I forgot to write what I love about Christmas yesterday, so today I am writing two things.

#23
Eggnog

There isn't another time of year when eggnog is available and I love it so!

#22
Hustle and Bustle

Mike and I were downtown on Saturay night and it made me think of how much I love the hustle and bustle of the season... even though at some point you get so sick and tired of fighting through traffic, etc... I think that it just adds to the entire feel of what Christmas does to people, it makes them CRAZY!

Reason #24

Christmas music!

I love Christmas music because I can only listen to it once a year. Since last year I have been cheating on the time that I actually start listening to Christmas music... it used to be that I would start listening to it the day afterThanksgiving, but ever since last year I have been caught listening to it as soon as the first week in November. One of the guys I work with says that is okay because Thanksgiving doesn't have any of it's own music. I like this reasoning and I think I will stick with it until I don't want to listen to Christmas music that early anymore. Anyway, Christmas music is my reason #24... I am listening to Harry Connick Jr. right now and I am loving it!

Reason #25

The Festival of Trees!

We are going to the Festival of Trees tonight... I love this Festival because it helps me get in the spirit of Christmas and I only have to pay $4 to do it. That, and Mike is always willing to go with me to see them, even though it isn't his favorite thing to do, but he goes anyway.
