Our adoption application was approved, meaning Graham Cracker and Chocolate Chip Cookie now have last names. They’re moving in tomorrow and I’m nesting like an ostrich, meaning I’m unpredictable with a goofy face and sheepish tendencies and could probably kick a hyena to its death if I tried (not that I ever would).
Today is a day for baking and cleaning and finding the litter box and filling it with litter and taking Meredith to the orthodontist and picking up the audiobook version of Avenue of Mysteries at the library (I’ve been reading the book for over a month, and I’m less than halfway in. Time to turn it on in the car so I can finish it before the end of the year, because I have reading plans for 2016!) and winding down at Harper’s choir concert where I hope to sit on the edge of a row because I have my reasons.
The tenth and final Blogger Christmahanukwanzaakah Online Holiday Concert went live yesterday, and my entry is way long. Also, my piano is in need of a tuning and several small repairs. (Three of the keys won’t play unless I bang them, which introduces a Pop Goes the Weasel feel when I’m not trying for that vibe at all.) Also, I will go to my grave making excuses as to why things that I’ve done are not as good as I wish they were. (I really need to start journaling my journey. Journaling My Journey is a phrase that provides a similar mouth dance as the word Tiddlywinks.)
Here. (Wait. Turn your sound down.) ((If you don’t have time to deal with this, just start the video at 2:45.))
What I was TRYING to do was be all “CHRISTMAS! In your FACE!!! Bustle and deck halls and cuss a little and don’t even THINK about what Christmas is about!!! But wait! The world is having cycles of suck right now, and just imagine (IMAGINE) what would happen if we could all just be peaceful and NICE to each other (and to ourselves). Okay then. Look up at the sky. Now go to bed.”
One week from today is Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve is my favorite, but you know what? Today’s not so bad. ‘ ‘ ‘text/javascript’>
You’re the most awesome.
The best post ever. I’m in awe of your talent. Your family has to love living with a pianist. So happy for your new kitties.
Congrats on the new additions to the family.
Lovely! And Merry Christmas to you and your family
Lovely!!! Yay for rescue cats I have two.
Still loving what you put into the internet world. Continue,please.
Thank you for the lovely concert. I would give anything to have that talent.
Congratulations on your expanding family. Merry Christmahanukwanzaakah to you and yours.
I liked your piano piece very much. I hope no one took your advice about starting at 2:45. They would have been missing out.
