Songs

Here are some songs I have been playing around with on my ukulele. Thanks McMu for the nickname.

Uke there it is

So I got a Ukulele. It has made me sad for a very long time that I couldn't simultaneously sing and play an instrument. During my youth I took lessons in piano and violin, but you know how it can be when you're little. In May one of my students brought in a Ukulele and I fell in love with it! For months I pestered the pbf about it. Then on our 4th anniversary he presented me with a borrowed soprano Uke from our friend Stacey. He gave me a month. By the end of week three I had my own. I now have callouses all over my left hand fingers and I spend at least an hour each day playing, there have been a few 4 or more hours days. I'm having the best time. Also, I have started to enjoy singing some more because it just makes it that much more fun. Do not be surprised if I start posting more songs just for kicks. Also, I am open to requests, it just may take me awhile. Here's me and my Mitchell MU-100 Concert Ukulele. It's pretty and has some neato mother-of-pearl trim. Do you like my hat? It's some fur bob from the 40's that I got from my Nana. Wheeee...

The newest video from wife and man for you...



Dang my wife's voice is hot.

Hitchin'

So my bestest friend got married yesterday. It was an amazing wedding! It was especially beautiful and looked like a million bucks. The bride wore a bright blue, bejewled sari. Our bridesmaid dresses were custom made, very whimsical in big bold colors. I'll put pics up online when I get a chance. The ceremony was extremely theatrical and beautiful incorporating many different wedding traditions that were just perfect. The bride has patienly waited for 27 years--do you hear me people--for the man God had for her. 27 years!! You are blessed brand new Gonzalez family! Much love from the orange fairy.

Nups

So I'm in Ohio at the moment helping out with the prep and festivities of my best friend's impending nuptials. It's always very strange coming back to the town I grew up in. It gets less and less comfortable. Also, my pbf is in LA for work so I feel a bit unanchored. Good old growing up. Yes, I'm almost 30 (eeeeeee!) but I still feel like I am growing up. I woonder if that feeling of growing will ever go away? Probably not. A few months before my Mimi died, she relayed to me that she still felt young. That's how I feel. All the time. I suppose that's a good thing. The pbf will be joining me in Columbus on Friday and I can't wait because I miss him terribly. We will drive home Saturday and Sunday and then I have a couple weeks off before work gets back into full swing.

Sez You

A friend of mine from college recently became the newest cast member of Sesame Street--yeah, you heard right! Sesame Street---ho-ly-crap! It's literally the coolest thing ever. Anyway, let me say she's the nicest, most talented gal and she totally deserves this. Anyway, enjoy the awesomeness in this clip of Season 39 highlights. She closes and opens the video. She's the one with the video camera. Pretty cool.

Going to LA next week...

I'm going to LA for work next week. Sunday through Thursday. I'll be busy with work stuff most of the time and I'm meeting up with an old friend one day, but if you were going, what would you do?
