Well, I haven't had much opportunity at all to practice my guitar since I bought it. The trouble being the very afternoon I bought it I started feeling sick. I then got worse as the day progressed and was sick most of the week. Finally I am feeling up to par and of course my daughter is sick so I am spending all my time caring for her. So there the guitar sits...staring back at me, taunting me. I may just have to make some time tonight. I did manage to strum a bit and I am going through a book learning the basics. Still, I think I could use an actual instructor. I think it would help. Another thing that I have to do but am dreading? Getting rid of my fingernails. It may seem trivial but I know they cannot be too long. I am ready to say goodbye to the length to accomplish this goal though.

Well I have had a few things. First, I love to sing. That's obvious and I've stated it many times. Second, I love to draw and I like to draw lifelike portraits. I got a book and improved my skills until I thought I was pretty good.






Now I haven't finished anything in awhile. I have a drawing sitting on the back burner. I will finish it soon. I do sometimes get working on something and then sort of fall away from it. I always finish it...even if it takes awhile.


Well there are more things I wanted to do. I wanted to crochet. So I taught myself. I can do that well now too. I have no pics of any of the blankets or purses I made but I can do it, I assure you. I have a list of things I'd love to do. It's a mental list. I have never written anything down. The one big thing I have always dreamt of and never thought would happen, is playing the acoustic guitar. I just never thought it was a possibility. Until recently that is. I got a guitar. It's a nice one too. I will post more about that later. Yesterday I got out a book and started learning. This is something I have always wanted and with my personality, I know I will do it. I love music and I love singing. Playing and singing together is just that much better. My fingers are sore today from practicing but I know I haven't seen anything yet. Well I am ready for it. :) It's the next big thing for me! I already read music. I am a flutist. Yes I play the flute. So I figure I have that going for me. At least that is one thing I already know. I'll post my progress on this blog now and then, and who knows, maybe a video or two at some point. This blog is about anything and everything, not just one thing...so it's not going to ever be just about me learning but it will be discussed now and then.

The one thing that kind of sucks today is the fact that I have a terrible cold. I feel flu-ish so I doubt I'll get much practice in today. I can't seem to wake up and my eyes are feeling sore looking at this computer so maybe tomorrow I can put more effort into it. Until then....I'll dream of guitars.
