Hello blog readers if you still exist because I know it has been forever! sorry it has taken me so long to get this updated. I've been so busy! These might be out of order but thats ok, you'll figure it out. enjoy :)
So Sarah and I have had this eternal argument about her hair. She like to plaster it down to her head so it looks like its glued on. Don't get me wrong, Sarah has always had gorgeous hair. But she insist that if she blowdries it, it will just turn into a frizzball. She also takes about two hours to straighten it and then has a stiff head all day trying not to let it get to tangly. Not so. I dragged her to the bathroom the other day and working my magic, gave her conditioned, blowdried, straight, non-tangly hair that lasted the rest of the day. Take THAT, Sarah!
Everyone knows I play bagpipes, of course. But did you know my teacher lives in canada? Well he does. Rob menzies is a fantastic piper and also a pipe jugde that people basically pay hundreds to travel around and judge them and then give them tips on how to play better. How cool would that be? A couple month ago, my band hired him to come and do a workshop with us and he offered to give me lessons. I told him I didn't have the money to pay him and guess what he said? not a problem, they are free! So whenever we both happen to have time which is . . . .well not very often, we hop on skype and struggling with headphones and a stopping camera and echoes, we somehow manage to have a decent music lesson.
With getting off work super early, I have been able to take up piano again! YAY! sadly, I still do not have enough time to play as much as I want to but the time I do have is an improvement. At the moment I am working on a christmas duet with Christie burgon (my fantastic teacher who gives me lessons for free in exchange for giving her and her husband massages) Also, Dance of the Knights from Romeo and Juliet and Venetian Boat Song by Felix Mendhelsson.
Metasource is the call center I work for. Not sure if I meantioned it before, but I have a full time job doing customer support for a loan company called First Bank of Deleware. Now for those of you who are going wait! what happened to massage?? don't worry, I still do massage, just not as an employee of anyone. I had a few job opportunities with massage but they didn't work out with other things I wanted to so like piano and being in a pipe band. So I took a job working from 6am to 1 or 2pm and I get the entire afternoon to do whatever I please with my time. usually, anyway. I have my massage table and I can work on people at home or I do events with chiropractors, that sort of thing.
My wonderful, beautiful sister-in-law, Leslie, has agreed to be my personal trainer in exchange for art lessons. So here I am getting ready to work out. I must say, I am not the best at it. My work out habits are sporadic at best. But I do try, I promise. Probably not hard enough though.
And here is me at the end of a work out. nice and sweaty and tired.
