Classical music at 78 rpm
I stole this entry title from one of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes comics. I have it hanging in my classroom.
I managed to get all the window trim primed and wil begin putting on the first coat of paint this evening. I am excited to see my livingroom completed but also know I am far from that goal since there is no art or pictures on the walls and we still have one portion to paint.... and spruce up our "mantel piece". However... all in all it is coming together nicely. Once the livingroom is completed we are moving on to the den and getting rid of that awful purple. Blech.
I am in the beginning stages of putting together my spring program. I am going to use folk songs from the US I think. Should make for an interesting program and I think the kids will like it. We shall see.
We are supposedly geting freezing rain today.... could make for an interesting afternoon/evening. Thank goodness Lee and I have nothing planned for this evening that requires we go out. I think it will be a good night to stay in with a fire...... and perhaps get our livingroom looking more put together.
I went ice skating yesterday afternoon. The arena will be taking the ice up today to prepare for the 4 "dirt" events they have scheduled in March. They said the ice should return sometime in April. I wanted to get in at least one good skate before then. I skated for about 40 minutes. It felt VERY good. I used their rental skates, which gave me a blister on my ankle. I didn't wear tall enough socks. I got out there and got back in the habit of using my edges (though the rental skates were pretty dull and the ice was pretty rough). A few of my students and former students were there and I helpd some of them learn to skate. Or at least I tried to help them skate. It takes a while. Once I got done, my legs felt sore and a little stiff..... got a good workout. I think if they have ice down often I could get into the habit of skating once or twice a week for an hour at a time. I'd like that. I'd also like to teach skating lessons but that's up to the arena to decide at this point. I don't forsee that happening anytime soon.
I would like to get my butt in gear and make some new jewelry pieces soon. I need to get busy working on pieces for the wine and art auction. I am not sure when it is this year but I'm certain it's in late March or early April. Time to get cracking.
