*stops by for a visit and a catch up*

Wow. It's been quiet in here.

*waves at Nad*

I hope everyone's off enjoying the weekend. Time for me to catch some sun.

Just think of it as more time to train! It's still a great goal!

True, I just wanted to do something over summer. I guess I can if I don't get my job. I managed to do a feat the other day, though. Usually I can only run for 10 minutes before needing to stop but on Wednesday I ran for 16 minutes (2k) and sort of felt like I could have ran for longer (but I didn't). Though on Friday I could only get 12 minutes before walking but it was still all good Slowly getting further and further.

I've just been fooling around all day, nothing special.

today's bits:

Oh so quiet around here these last few days. Very hard to keep ones dignity here especially since there is no one around to stop me.....must behave, must behave

[Nolamom]

Just can't be left to your own devices, can you? At least you kept your clothes on (this time!) and the broccoli stores appear to be intact.

I'm having a difficult time getting motivated to do anything truly productive. I should do some housework and laundry (yuck). I might do some lesson planning (double-yuck). I could take a nap...

[josiane]

Still quiet, huh?

Well, when the cat's away (where is Jumble, anyway??)...

*sneaks in because it's sooooo quiet*

[Devilish Me]

I bought a violin! Trying to learn how to play, accidentally threw away a part of the violin yesterday. Had to go through my own trash (not a great experience) to find it, because apparently you need that bridge thingy to make the instrument play. Suffice to say that I'm relieved it wasn't all my fault it sounded soooo bad yesterday.

Thanks for the *huggle* and right back at ya *huggle*

Trying to learn to play the violin without someone there to teach you is really really really hard. I use to play the viola (which is slightly larger then a violin and a little deeper tones)...and it ain't easy my friend. I wish you loads of luck!

- hmmmm! is our Jumble out there playing....oh my!

I beg your pardon YOUNG LADY You should never talk to a senior citizen in such a manner! Tsk! Tsk! Even if it's true!

Dee, yes, the bridge does help. Kind of a crucial part...

Good luck! I never learnt, but had the odd go on my sister's violin when I was younger. The sounds I made weren't pretty

S'aank youuu! I have youtube Which isn't much help, but I learned (sort of) to play happy birthday. I'm wondering if I should bother with the notes or just go by ear. And I adore viola and cello! Violincello is my fav instrument for the past two years. Love the sound.

Let's hope so

I know that ... now.

Thanks
Mine aren't... all that great either, but definitely better then yesterday when the poor violin was screaming. I would try to get it to make a normal sound and then laugh my ass of from all the screeching

And then I would hear laughing from the hall, only to open my doors and find my parents laughing. Fun all around.

[Nolamom]

My goodness, time's getting away from me. It's already time for the bits!

[m_wendy_r]

Dee bless you.

*hugs WooHoos*

Dee record your violin efforts and YT 'em? Sounds like fun to hear it.
