On the 12th Day of Christmas...
My True Love Gave to Me...
Twelve Drummers Drumming!
So hey here is another musical thing. I can't play drums! These are Kevin's drums (well actually Vasille's, our friend), and I am not good. hahaha! Oh and welcome to my basement, mwahahaha!
Today I wanted to be a Sailor. So here it is. I was wearing a navy fedora earlier but the hat has been off for sometime. I am so nautical that I have two striped shirts on! And I grabbed a pair of my Gpa's WWII Navy pants to finish it, which was awesome cause I woke up to snow on the ground, and it didn't stop all day! I still need to let out the hem in the pants because I guess my Gpa's legs were shorter than mine (or it was the style... we'll never know!) My fish necklace finishes the outfit, don't know how "drummer-like" the outfit is but I loved it! And my hair was wonderful today too!!!
When I got off work I went to Target and Kohls to spend my gift cards! It's like Christmas again! I got a new purse, a new winter jacket, tights and socks, two pair of flats, a necklace, and a daily planner! After I met up with Kevin and his friend Dave for an appetizer. After that I ran over to Best Buy to pick up my Christmas present from my dad... a samsung blu-ray player with internet and netflix! It was on super sale and my dad got it for me!! Right now Kevin and I have already watched a movie and now I'm chilling watching some Psych... Aha! so funny!
And I've been talking about it... Here it is! My Christmas Present!
A BANJO!
I'm so excited! I've wanted one for awhile and when I was in Alaska I got to go to jam sessions with my aunt who plays mandolin, and I loved it when someone brought a banjo. I love the sound of them, and kinda been obsessed with banjo and bluegrass since highschool.
Ah!!! Too excited. I already have the music for dueling banjos so Kevin can play hi acoustic guitar with me. yay!! I've never been able to play guitar because the strumming motion felt un-natural to me. But I've played piano and flute for most of my life and felt that the picking motion for banjos would resemble it. And I think my finger memory is helping because it feels natural... The only thing I need to work on is holding strings down, haha. It's hard to hold 5 strings! Oh well when I get better I will show you video :)
Anyway the twelve days are over (sorry I missed one)! Tomorrow I'm going out for a drink to celebrate the Twelfth Night! Thanks for watching!
