No, not that kind of family member. That’s a few years off hopefully.
We have a piano in our home again… and I am in heaven.

Greta, the woman who I took over for as receptionist (she’s having a baby any day now), wanted to get rid of her digital piano. This is the only piano I can have right now in a third story apartment, and the price was right, so we drove out a few weeks ago, popped it in the back of our Vibe wagon (miracle), and drove it home.
Ninety pounds was hard enough to get up three flights of stairs… I couldn’t imagine a real piano.
The notes still come rather slow to my rusty fingers, but I’m reading music better and better all the time. Not having had a piano in my home for most of the last 10 years, I didn’t know how much I’d missed it. Being able to play on a regular basis again — it’s near-bliss.
Yay for having a music corner in our office!

I’m sure some of you at least are familiar with the soundtrack from the new Pride and Prejudice — I’m working at learning that (and whatever Regina Spektor I can get my hands on). We played one of the P&P themes as I walked down the aisle at our wedding, so it’s even more enjoyable because of that significance.
Speaking of which, it’s calling to me now… getting prepped for finals can wait…

So exciting! I don’t know what I’d do without my piano.

So, the big question is… are you going to name your piano Bloodface?

Have fun! It’s a talent I wish I had.

Oh sad… I guess we have to wait awhile longer to meet Bloodface Lawlis…
