Breezy Days: Fa La La La La

Fa La La La La

Here is my Christmas-y church attire for today.
I sang a solo in church today and ROCKED it.
{Here is the sheet music-When Mary Sang Her Lullaby}
I love love love to sing.

The worst part about singing in front of people is the waiting part.
At the beginning I'm like yeah! I can do this and not mess up!
Then I start fidgeting, my mouth starts getting dry, my hands get sweaty, my body starts shaking, then it's finally my turn, and I feel like a newborn giraffe trying to walk up to the podium.

Even with all the times I've sung in church meetings, baptisms, auditions, national anthems in high school, or even giving the announcements over the school loud speaker every day, I still get these mini heart attacks. I kick myself in the tush that I've done this how many freaking times and I still am a mess?
But.
I don't know what it is, because as soon as I get up the microphone, all the jitters go away.
I open my mouth and start singing along to the melody of the piano, and lose myself in the music.
Hitting every high note, breathing at the right times, and looking at the faces in the crowd enjoying the peaceful melodic line of the song.
This is one of my favoritest feelings in the whole entire world.

Other than drinking hot chocolate and snuggling. Obviously.
Maybe one of these days I'll put up a lil' video of one of my favorite songs to sing.
We'll see how confident I am to put up a video of me singing for the world to see.
Yikes!
Dress, Bracelet: Fossil. Shoes: ?. Sweater, Belt: Loft. Necklace: gift. Lipstick: Revlon.

In the meantime, go listen to the new "She & Him" Christmas album by my girl crush, Zooey Deschanel, or Michael Buble's Christmas album.

Merry almost Christmas!

Love this dress, I have a thing for ruffles :) I think it's a good thing that you still get the jitters, so awesome that you can sing. Cute blog girl, I'm following. Hope you can stop by soon.
