Sick on my birthday...

A large gap between postings - I know! But things have been a little crazy lately. This is the busy tuning time with churches preparing for Christmas and people with family coming in for the holidays. Also, I am trying to do a few homemade things for Christmas as well as the family calendar for my husband's side of the family, not to mention trying to get the church choir together for the Christmas Sunday. I haven't even started dipping chocolates yet - I did get my chocolate though. I used to get a small discount for buying bulk, but I guess those days are over. sigh At least most of my Christmas shopping is done.

On top of it all I have been sick since Sunday. I have been doing my scheduled tunings despite the fact that I feel horrible. I only rescheduled one and it will be tomorrow. I am feeling a bit better today, so hopefully that means I am getting well! I was hoping for a 24 hour flu, but its more like a 96 hour flu I guess.

So I guess that's my exciting birthday - at least I haven't thrown up yet!

Chopin's music is wishy-washy??!!

I was tuning for a woman today who is kind of a piano big-wig around here. We were discussing some of our favorites and I mentioned that I really love Chopin. She said his music was wishy-washy!! Oh well - I like Brahms and Rachmanninoff as well as the next pianist - but I think Chopin can definitely hold his own. It was a nice change so chat with someone with some serious music background, though.

I am just unwinding from a full day of tuning with a little Josh Groban and Pink Floyd. Interesting combination, I know, but still both are soothing in different ways. Itunes is a great invention!

An old flame rekindled

I was kind of bored the other day - not that I didn't have anything to do - so I started listing things on ebay. It's been a long time since I've taken the time to do any selling and it's been very refreshing! I am listing a few items for friends and a few things of my own, and the auctions are going great.

Now for something completely different. What is it with teenagers? I don't remember doing too much sneaking around my parents backs, but my 14 year old has been a stinker lately. I try to monitor his online time for obvious reasons - but that little beggar found out the password and has been getting on without permission. From the history, it looks clean, but that's not the point. The point is that the rule is you get online when you have permission! ARGGHHHH!!

Feeling Bad

Today as I drove into our garage I accidentally ran over one of our kittens. I feel so horrible - like I want to throw up. It was Brig's favorite kitten. They called it 'puss' and she was the most affectionate of the bunch. I am so sad. The kids will be very disapppointed. *sigh*
