In response to some of my co-workers, I'm posting this video clip as a sample of my singing. It came up during a mini birthday celebration today that I sang at a wedding over the weekend and one of our doctors wanted me to sing an excerpt. Having already taken that first bite of cake, I knew she would be greatly disappointed with what she would have heard after that point. :-)
So here's an older music clip of me singing with a quartet; hopefully I will be able to upload the video of my performance at the wedding later this week. (For anyone interested in the song I sang at the wedding [because it is a beautiful song], it's called "I Will Be Here" by Steven Curtis Chapman.)

Why I'm the Favorite
REASON #1:
For months now, my brother has been on a Coldplay kick. And for the past several months, he's been saying how much he wishes Coldplay would come to Pittsburgh so he could see them live in concert. Thanks to the annoying (but in this instance, helpful) ads on Facebook, I noticed that they were coming to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette Pavillion at the end of May. Although his birthday is in August, I decided to get him tickets as an early birthday gift. But I was trying to decide how to tell him...I mean, it wouldn't be as fun to just hand over the tickets. So I spent a whole night doing nothing but Googling Coldplay lyrics to use as scavenger hunt clues for him. And when I say I went all out, I went all out. Needless to say, he had a blast looking for the clues. I was able to use the video recording feature on my dad's camera to film him looking, but I still haven't uploaded them yet. [[drat.]] So stay tuned for an "updedit" with the clips.
REASON #2:
I secretly requested Friday afternoon off for my mom so that I could take her (and my sisters) out to Alexandra's Tea Room as a surprise Mother's Day gift. We had such an amazing time: the food was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxing, the tea was fantastic, and the company was -- as always -- great. The first teas we selected were "Buckingham Palace Garden Party," "Goddess of Mercy Oolong," "Amore," and "Peach Apricot," but you can have as many different flavors brewed for you as you want. Here are some pictures from the trip.
