Re: Sooooo....what's popping today ladies?
I love mini trips! Two of my sister in laws live in NYC and since I am in the Philly area, it's easy to go visit. A change of scenery is always a good thing!
BTW, I must be a total idiot because I actually was scratching at my screen trying to catch the "bug" in your siggy.
Very convincing.
Haha, I get people with that all the time! Too funny
And yeah, I love, love, love mini vacations! I'm doing another weekend trip in July. That one is a very special retreat with women who have my particular infertility issues. It's so amazing and good for the soul.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle!

"It's a child, not a cheeto" Thanks mmariluh!
"Ew. I've read all of two posts from you, and you stink like rotting garbage."
Once upon a time, I was going to be a voice teacher! We always talk about me going back to it a little bit, but my piano skills are so diminished at this point, I don't know if I could even play a scale for someone, let alone actually accompany them.
I would love to buy a piano, and start practicing again, but the house we live in now, I don't know where we would put it.
Old Dr. Who or new Dr. Who? I watched the new one a little bit when we still had BBC America. For whatever reason, Comcast took that out of our current cable package.
Being here is not helping, I know. But it's therapeutic (or that's what I tell myself!)
I've got no plans for the weekend yet. But I will surely figure something out. It's a rare long weekend for us!!!
DH is in Vegas until the 9th, so, I get to fly solo to his sister's final ballet recital. I do enjoy watching the performances! SIL is very talented and so graceful.
I will also, one way or another, be eating as many hotdogs and hamburgers as I can. =]
Sometimes the best weekends are the ones with no plans!!!
My SIL is a dancer too! I've only seen her perform a couple times. She was a teacher in an aerial school for awhile...those were really cool recitals. She is getting a master's in child psychology now since she enjoyed working with kids while she was teaching dance, so we don't see her perform anymore.
Sweet! More musical people on the board.
I say DO IT! I actually teach on a digital piano in our apartment. My last voice teacher was a terrible pianist but still a good teacher. 
In college we had to provide our own accompanists to our voice lessons though I know that's not realistic for non-college students.
Sulfa, I was thinking about investigating some keyboards. I think it would be a nice present to myself (since I'm child free and all
) and could be a good investment if I could establish a small private vocal studio. I was also thinking about going back and taking some voice lessons for myself! I miss being coached.
Lol, I was just remembering my father's reaction when I told them I needed money for a professional accompanist in college. They wouldn't even let us use other students. "What the f*ck are we paying for exactly?" I think is what was said when I explained it wasn't covered by tuition.
haha ooh that's rough! I put myself through college by accompanying voice lessons.
And when I took voice lessons, I exchanged accompanying services with another fellow pianist/singer.
You're going to laugh, but there are actually some decent Casios on the market right now! Unless you want to get all fancy schmancy. I have a Yamaha Clavinova that my MIL *gave* to me (so sweet) and while it'll never be "the real thing" to me, it's better than a lot of acoustic uprights I've had to wrestle with!
