So it looks like I'm in a band again. I went to an audition yesterday for a band called Frisk, which currently consists of its original drummer and the bass player from my last band. They had also asked our former guitarist to audition and since he and I live in the same neighborhood, we carpooled.
The audition went well and the four of us should be on track to cover their currently booked gigs for the rest of the summer and fall. We'll practice on Saturdays at noon, which is actually perfect for me because I'm usually free then anyway.
It's your basic classic rock band. They're hoping to add someone who plays keyboards and/or rhythm guitar. The drummer also sings lead vocals, so that should open up some good song possibilities.
So there's one more activity added to the list. Still, I've missed singing so I don't mind making room in my schedule for a band.
The rest of my day yesterday was pretty low-key. I took a nap after the audition and got up just in time to do my cat volunteer shift at Petco. Then my husband and I went out for pizza and watched "Burn Notice." Quite a relaxing day, really.
This morning I took Toby on our usual 3.4 mile walk and then spent the next hour and a half cutting down volunteer trees all over my yard. I have a huge thumb bruise to show for it; apparently my loppers need to be sharpened.
Now I'm showered, almost finished with my breakfast shake, and trying to decide what to do next. I think coffee needs to be on the immediate agenda and I'm thinking I could use a pedicure once my favorite nail salon opens at noon.
Beyond that, I'm looking at another day without much in the way of plans. See? I can do that sometimes!
Awesome!!!! Please, oh please let me know of any gigs ahead of time (if you can) so that I can procure appropriate child-care servicing. I always hated that I missed your previous bands when the kiddos were babies. Now, they are NOT babies, so it will be easier for me to come see you in action!

I have too much to do in my life too. Think I'll go join a band.
