So I realized that my last two posts have been more of me venting and I think I just need to get past it all. Here's a real post of what's "Much Ado About Mitzi"...
Last Friday was my first concert with the DePaul Community Chorus...I think my last 'official' choral concert would have been back in May of 2002 - so it was nice to revisit that experience and test my musical intellect once again. The concert went really well and hopefully there will be a DVD (Family - don't worry, I pre-ordered one for every niece and nephew for Christmas!). 4 of my Teach For America colleagues (both past and present) came to listen and then afterwards we all went to this place to listen to these ladies. All and all - a very musically stimulating evening.
At my concert - I was a part of small chorale that sang in a call/response (or cantor/chorus) piece. Which introduced me to a new favorite Bible verse: (Philippians 4:6-7) "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ, our Lord." The musical tune that was set to these words was very powerful - if you're friends with (or parents/grandparents of) my nieces or nephews...just maybe you'll get to hear it!
Last night I had an amazing experience at The Counter - Custom Built Burgers here in Chicago. It is a chain restaurant that just open here and there's been quite a bit of talk about it. Some friends and I decided to take it in for a Monday evening out and well, let's just say - the diet was definitely off for the 2 hours I was there. I highly recommend going with an appetite and friends to share the fries :)!

Hopefully the "nieces and nephews" don't each get one, but maybe one for each set would be nice =)
Way to go to the burger joint---what combination did you get??
My word verification below is "subillyv" or, you could read that as "billy in an suv"!!
