How wonderful life is...

Elton is awesome! I can't stop thinking about the concert. Our seats were pretty great--thanks, Sylvia! The lady sitting next to me was funny and nice; I was worried I'd be next to someone obnoxious. Of course, the people next to her WERE obnoxious, and spilled beer all over the couple in front of them.



I am kicking myself for not taking a camera. I didn't think they'd be allowed. I stole some pictures from the News Journal, and am happy that people have already posted videos on YouTube!

The Bitch Is Back

Elton John is in town and we will be seeing him tonight! I can't wait!!!

Happy birthday, mom!

I made my mom a bracelet for her birthday--it was inspired by one she liked in the lia sophia catalog. We went to a party a few weeks ago and I kept saying, "No, I can make that!" So far, this is the only thing I've made.



To celebrate, the whole family went out for Chinese food. Dinner didn't end so well, thanks to the tragic fortunes in my mom and dad's fortune cookies. Mom's read, "Your problem just got bigger. Think, what have you done?" And then dad's read, "It's over your head now. Time to get some professional help." Ouch! Confucius is not playing around!

Fur babies - Vader again

He decided to be more appropriate this time, although in the second picture he looks like he is saying, "Really, more pictures? Enough already. How about some food or cream?"

Fur babies - Ice

I have the hardest time getting good pictures of this cat! For one thing, she never sits still, and another thing is that the markings around one of her eyes is darker than the other. If I can pick up the blue color in one eye, then other one usually looks black.

Anyway, she's a pretty cat, but she can be so annoying!

T & W

I spent this morning at my parent's home away from home, the flea market! I always go thinking I am going to find a really great deal, but there is not really much for me. The good thing today was seeing Danny, and buying some magazines for just $1 each. They're all photography and photoshop mags. It took a few years, but I finally remembered how much I love taking pictures and now I want to learn as much as possible.



Here's Danny, my favorite person at the market!


I couldn't resist getting a shot of this sweater:


The exposure was not right for this one, but it's funny, right?

Chamber music

During the school year, the chamber music class at UWF has concerts the first Wednesday of each month at Old Christ Church. Concert days are looonnnng for me--besides sitting through an hour long concert, I have to be at the church first thing in the morning for delivery of the piano and tuning, then I have to wait in the afternoon for the movers to come back to pick up the piano. The music department is an "All Steinway School" but today they used a Yamaha!


Instead of the cushy upholstered Steinway piano bench, the Yamaha comes with a flat shiny bench, which made for a beautiful reflection of the stained glass windows.


Concerts will start again in September!
