good news, folks!

Sadie is finally in the hospital having her broken rib repaired!
YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!
but it will take an entire month to get her back. and it is all because of those stupid kids who break their instruments and wait until the last minute to take them to the shop.

oh wait... thats sounds vaguely familiar...

the good thing is, i cracked her in a good spot. if it had been any higher up than where it is, they would have had to take off the ENTIRE front. very costly, and being a lowly lifeguard, i dont have much extra to spend on stupidity. they will just take off the bottom part of the top, glue 'er back and VOILA! all better. but its not like a dont have a cello to play because, while that would be absolutely devastating, MY SISTER GAVE ME HER CELLO!!! i think i shall name her Quincy. and she only gave it to me because she quit. hate quitters...

and when i went to the shop today, i fell in love with a VIOLIN. dont ask why, i am not very sure. it was like a dijon mustard color, and usually i dont go for yellow, but it was absolutley GORGEMOUS (maddiespeak). it looked antiquey and sounded beautiful. i am actually considering trading Quincy in for George (yes, i already named it) when i get Sadie back, only because i am trying to learn violin a bit better and i am considering having a double major in college, music being one of them. but it could be a while before i really make up my mind, so dont hate me yet, cellofolks.

and so i played Quincy tonight, and although she doesnt sound the same as Sadie, she will have to do for now. as well as playing with a violin bow because stupidly, i packed BOTH if my cello bows in my case which happens to be where? at the shop, 45 mile away.

must go practice. have fun in life- play cello!
toodles
