yes, I've been slacking. Too many lovely little Uke tunes to learn. 

I even had the pleasure of a mini jam at the Bean this afternoon, Bobert dug his Banjo Uke out of the basement and I tried really hard not to be the perfectionist oldest daughter and played along. 

a very little bit.

so, the Corktown Uke Jam is far away. and despite threats of Uke burnings, I think that we should likely start up our own jam in the area. probably not as large scale or as organized as the Corkers.... but something that us 'Umberlands can get to on occasion.

Any takers?

PINEAPPLE

Pretty Sure Natalie Dee is stalking me again.

There was a time last year where everything I posted, ended up being the topic for her comics... it lasted two weeks. Now, I know she's not really stalking me, but since stalking's my love language... well.. you know.

clean your room

I decided to tackle my room today.

I was off sick (again).

sick.

but today, I'd had enough. At least, enough of the sitting watching movies.

It started with the laundry, then moved to the kitchen- the stove top got cleaned, the vent got cleaned, the staircase swept, the rugs vacuumed, the floor swept, some furniture moved, dusted, mopped, tidied, bathroom cleaned, items sorted for the blue box (second hand store)... and in the end... meh.

I coughed my way thru it.

and the shop vac spit all the rabbit hair into the air (covering the room I'd just cleaned)

and the shop vac still had water in the bottom of it (which became mud)

and I still have one side of the room to do. (it's a big room) (but mostly I just kept getting sidetracked)

however... the house is al ot cleaner.

speaking of sidetracked. I also put a bunch of my cds on my computer... and sorted some play lists out... I have too many good songs. I found myself standing in the middle of the kitchen trying to recover from singing. I've found that I can sing just fine... it's the after...

but, I'm nearly better.

4 more sleeps till Florida.

And my little Pineapple is waiting on the beach for me.

(that's right! I did finally decide on the Uke. It's a Kala Pineapple... I'm quite excited)
