a new member of the Lawlii family

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…
