Dear ones,

Thank you for writing back!!! It's probably overwhelming and silly for me not to post for weeks on end and then mega-post all my thoughts at once. Thanks so much for your thoughts and advice. It means a lot.

K, I will keep you posted about my business!! It would be fun to give you virtual cello lessons. maybe once my new site is up I'll email it to you ... it will be good, I'm going to hire a professional designer and everything.

I went ahead earlier today and just emailed him when I'd be in town. I mentioned that I might be in town on saturday (because it's true) but didn't say anything about it being his birthday. I didn't ask when he wanted to see me or if, I just stated what my plans were.

The festival is awesome....wish I could perform for all of you.

Weird news flash: I am feeling really attracted to the second violinist in my group--the same guy at lyricafest last year who slow danced with me in the kitchen--and I am sitting next to him in rehearsals for 4-6 hours a day. It is so retarded, when I'm around him I feel really nervous and self-conscious and mostly just ignore him because my heart is a-flutter. I feel like I am 9 years old!!!

Don't worry, I have ridiculous self-control, and I don't do flings.

LOVE
T
