QOTD: does school choir count?

 

[Danauk]

Hey ohanafamily I play the trumpet too, that was my first study instrument for my graduate degree in music. I play clarinet and flute as well and I kind of play the piano but badly!! I play recorder and some early musical instruments too. I was a band geek!! I played trumpet at county level too and did some tours abroad with the orchestra that I played in.

[COLOR=33FF00]Depplyinluv[/COLOR] I have been to France quite a few times either on school trips (twice to Paris, once skiing on Mont Blanc and once for 2 weeks exchange visit to a french school) and also a few times with girl guides (scouts) to the south of France. DH and I had our honeymoon in Paris too. I guess with the tunnel now, plus the fact the English Chanel is only 22 miles wide so it seems now that going to France isn't really like going abroad. When the new train terminal opens in London for the eurostar we should be able to catch the train from our town and be in Paris about 3 hours later!!

To answer another QOTD the last DVD I bought was Brother Bear, it arrived from the USA this morning, it isn't released here until May!!

So what has everyone been up to today? At school today we made bird boxes and decorated them. They were kind of cute, but helping 29 kids do woodwork was fun even if the pieces were pre cut and just slotted together!!

Does anyone have good plans for this evening? I'm just going to watch TV I think as Thursday is the best TV night (New Friends followed by new ER) DH has speech evening tonight at his school so won't be home until late. As he is head of the music department he has to get the kids to provide the music for the evening.

I guess I better go and cook dinner for myself then.

QOTD: organ lessons, which ended after a couple years.

Now why doesn't this come as any surprise at all? Hmmmm...

I took piano lessons but it took everything in my folks inventory to convince me to sit at the stupid thing. I hated it then and I hate it now. I keep telling my parents to sell it 26 years later!

Now, this leads me to HAVE to say:

You can tune a piano, but can you tuna fish?

or...

If I put roses on your piano, will you put tulips on my... nevermind.

Friends is a re-run here tonight. So, I'll be watching Survivor and The Apprentice. For dinner we are having Roast Beef, mashed potatoes & gravy. Yum.

I saw my brother on TV!!!!! I talked to him on the phone & he told me exactly where he was sitting & I saw him when they panned the camera back. I told him to send Daniel down the aisle so I could see him, but he hasn't done it yet. boy is my life boring.

Rick, you dirty minded -- okay, I confess, I was thinking about the same thing when I read it. Don't sell your piano. I bought a used one two years ago. It makes a very nice accessory, and people actually think we are a talented family.

We are going out to dinner tonight. Not sure where. I don't care, as long as I don't have to cook.

Then my neighbor is coming over for Survivor and is bringing the popcorn. She's a really neat person. They moved here from Atlanta this past fall. She's a lawyer who now is a SAHM to three kids. Very bright. Full scholarship to Cornell. And she's a real earth mother. You know, the no-cable, nurses her baby while she does art work with her four year old and listens to her six year old read Harry Potter (in four different languages ) kind? Luckily she's really nice and down to earth, otherwise I'd have to hate her.

not seeing DBF this weekend,he's working all weekend but we'll talk tonight

 

[ohanafamily]

Well, I just got a phone call from a cousin of RRBB's.

She set my DW off this morning. I got a Voicemail from her, and I left her one back. It was one of those " You Need to Start Having Kids Phone Calls. You Know, the ones. Well, RRBB was in a tizzy this morning, and We are going out with my mom tonight...anyone know where I can buy some kevlar? (a bullet proof vest).

afternoon all

 

[FPgurl04]

congratulations ohanafamily on your new tag. bloomie43 has been hoping for one, so i've been hoping for her!! (btw, she believes!)

how about some chocolate chip pancakes for an afternoon snack with me?

 

[ohanafamily]

FPgurl04, just an fyi, I was being a slight bit sarcastic, they updated the image and erased half of my tag. I was being nice and saying I got a new tag....ok?

 

[CourtasanSatine]

QOTD: what's your cell phone cover

for now: puppies but I'm getting a new one

[ohanafamily]

wow. there's a perfect example of out-of-school, in-spring-break mode. i am such a ditz. oh well. i'm a little strange, but that's ok. just nod everyone. don't stare, nothing to see here. moving along now....

 

[ohanafamily]

Not a problem FPgurl04, there are many times that my subtlety escapes even my wife...

 

[Danauk]

My mobile phone cover is just blue but it glows it the dark. It is quite a new Nokia phone so they don't do many covers and things for it yet. It is one of those colour screen camera phones.

Another QOTD: What ring tone do you have on your phone? I have Feel by Robbie Williams

Barb and Rick humm along as I play you a tune on the Organ. It's "Oh When the Saints, Oh When the Saints, Oh When the Saints Come Marching In, I want to be in the NUMBERS, Oh When the Saints Come Marching In."

Just a plain black case on the cell. No song, not any that I know the name of anyhow.

DHB can I have a rhino for winning? I like rhino's better than hippo's.

ohana sounds like you are in for a lovely evening. So sorry, RRBB . Liquor always does the trick for me. Then I don't give a hoot what the in laws are talking about. Make it a bottle and drink it quick.

 

[geffric]

I have a NEXTEL PHONE that is silver , no fancy cover.. and it doesn't have a fancy ring tone either.. I keep looking at the list but can't decide which one I want..

ohanafamily and RRBB I would think that is a polite way to say " none of your busines.." to the inquiring minds..
