random

random, random evening last night.

i really wanted to go listen to bluegrass at frog&firkin, but alas, people were busy so i thought I'd try to better my own bluegrass skills - so i used my tuner to find all the C's and E's on my mandolin. Not sure why those letters, but that was it. then i thought, "will this really be useful, notes isolated?" so I stopped.

as far as a walk, I took care of the plants in the backyard and watered everything, but i guess i should have looked at the weather and just let the rain today take care of it...oh well!

if it were only true

i found these old ads and they're awesome! and just very happy in general...

they're very me so i thought i'd post one - but i'd to add the disclaimer that while i greatly enjoy guinness, i take them seriously and drink responsibly :)

i love caffe luce

i was standing outside luce talking to my grandma on the phone, because i refuse to be the annoying person who talks on the phone inside, and after maybe 5-10 minutes Gretchen brings me my usual 16oz vanilla soy latte :) How nice!!! and then doesn't charge me...i feel so loved! I so greatly enjoy feeling at home places, and this is definitely one of the places i feel at home :)

while i have the flu

i'm going to count walking in and out of fry's to get saltines and mt. dew as my walk (i forget when you're sick how dang exhausting the simple things are), and will try to play later...

back in the saddle

I walked around the neighborhood, as it was such a lovely day, and talked to God.

My voice is sounding pretty hoarse today, so I just worked out Brandi's That Year - a song that I have in my head a lot...

Open Mic Night

Last night Laelia and I played at the open mic night at the Sky Bar on 4th Ave. The photo above is from there. I've heard God tell me that I need to play at an open mic night for a few years now, and I never had the gumption. Laelia had noticed that the Sky Bar had an open mic night on Wed, so we had been playing a few songs together and did it! We had prayed before we left to enjoy ourselves and just have fun, and God was kind enough to answer our prayers - it was a blast and I didn't utterly freak out and freeze. Thanks for the support and encouragement everyone!

new computer :)

I have to give a shout out to Papa Trinkley for helping me get a new computer. It is here, and I'm back blogging again. Honestly, my motivation to walk and play has slipped in its absence, so I'm glad it's back.

more to come tomorrow...hope all is well with you all
