Aggravating the Neighbors

I'm trying to pick up a new hobby b/c I feel like I need one.  Especially when people ask me "what do you do for fun?" and I don't have a good answer.  

I've always really liked the sound of a harmonica, and my brother happened to have two, so now I'm trying to learn to play.   I did take a year of piano and I played the clarinet in junior high - I wasn't very good at either of these things.  I'm not very musically talented, so I'll probably be really annoying to my neighbors.  

Also, since I'm soon turning 30 friends who have already passed that milestone suggested I learn something new.  So I have multiple reasons and besides it is actually pretty fun!  I do need to buy a better book though for lessons b/c the one I have is rather lame. 

Thing in the Cupboard: Bling

I'm so excited that I found this. I really thought I had accidentally gotten rid of it. In fact, I found it just in time to give it to my friend's boyfriend (against her will) so that he can wear it with his authentic Russian tracksuit (Adidas or possibly Puma I can't remember which).  

Luckily I didn't buy it.  One Christmas during a White Elephant party I acquired the necklace.  It has come in handy for various costumes (Halloween and otherwise).
