As we all know, being a mom you can sometimes go through an identity crisis. All of the things you used to define yourself quickly give way to meeting other little people's needs on a 24/7 basis. In short your priorities change. But (at least I feel) there's some part of you that doesn't want to change, and that you really don't want to let go of. Thus, why I still find myself attempting such endeavors. When I heard about auditions, I decided even if I don't get in, at least I tried, and I will get better at trying until another opportunity comes along.....
Our first rehearsal was last week (hence the "I made the news in a good way" bullet on my previous post, in UT such things as new symphonies are apparently news worthy). It was great to be back in the saddle. Eating humble pie? Totally. I'm very out of practice, but it was So. Much. Fun.
To commemorate. Here's everyone's most beloved pic (again) relating to violin playing. Circa 2000 perhaps? It doesn't get any weirder, or awesomer. Thanks Bar.
