Secondly, I started taking piano! My teacher said I'm her best student to which Jared quickly pointed out I'm her only student, but I'm certain she'd have said the same if she had 100 students. I know for sure I'd be her oldest student, so I have that going for me. I have practiced every day and can hardly wait to impress her with what I have done with my pieces for this week which include--Meet the Flintstones, Home on the Range and, my personal favorite, Roller Coaster Rhythm. As you can probably guess, in light of the current economic state of our union I have opted to just use Rachel's old books instead of purchasing the "Adult Beginner" books.
I believe it has put a bit of a fire under Rachel because she does not want me to pass her up. I am on level 2A right now, and she is finishing up 3B. I do have an unfair advantage of already having 5 years of piano under my belt even if it was 25+ years ago. She is currently decking our halls--can you still use that phrase after the holidays?--with tunes from "Wicked". We got her the piano music for Christmas. She is working on "Defying Gravity" right now and I LOVE it! She's a good egg.
And lastly, I'm bored. Not in the sense that I have nothing to do, but in the sense that I need something to get me movin'. A project of sorts. So I've decided to jump on Sarah's bandwagon--since I'm the most uncreative person I know, but I'm the best person I know at jumping on other people's bandwagons. The name of said bandwagon is "A Picture a Day". I can promise that others who have gone before me on this project will have much prettier and thought provoking pictures, but hey it gives me something to work towards. I'm not sure I'm ready to commit to a full year yet, so I'm just going to sign up for the 3 month package. So here it goes...
I'm getting off to a really bad start today with this beauty, but I'm a bit short on time and so here it is.
This is a picture of a 10 lb. bag of chocolate chips that Jared procured for us when we were doing some food storage shopping. I have to give him kudos for remembering that anything tastes better with a little chocolate...even ground wheat and kidney beans.
And the bowl is my cute little turquoise fruit bowl I got at the Boise market when Jared and I were downtown celebrating our 15th anniversary. It is much cuter in person. And if you look closely you'll see Rachel in the background enjoying her after school snack. So...for those of you who stuck with me through those ramblings--you may need to consider starting a "Picture a Day" project because you clearly have too much free time on your hands.

First of all, I totally thought of you as we were breezing into Meridian at 1 am! I would and will call you if our hours are better. Meridian looks like a nice place-at least the hotel was. :)(about all we saw) Second, I know what you mean about needing a project. I'm looking for something too. I've started that picture of the day thing too-so what I was about 15 days late, right?
I am so impressed with your piano lessons! I tried to take piano (for the first time) with Karalee and while I stuck with it for a couple years, I'm quite certain I never advanced past 2a. :) You're my inspiration.
I am with you sista! Can't stand peas out of a can or frozen in a bag.... BUT fresh out of the pod, I love them! Try them fresh with a little melted butter and sea salt and see what you think! Also YOU WILL LOVE ARRESTED DEVELOPEMENT! Best cast ever! I do love Gob but have to say Buster holds a special place in my heart. I love how he plays with his ears when he is nervous and how he says "Hi brother" every time Michael and Gob walk in the room. I also love his crazy devotion to his horrible mother.
You sound like my kids who carefully take the green peas out one by one from whatever I put them in. (refer to the post I made with Daren's birthday in September. You can see Andrew's plate with the white rice and green peas separated like it was the red sea.)
Here's the question: what about chickpeas and black-eyed peas?
