I finally purchased my long awaited piano keyboard yesterday. Yes, I faced the Black Friday crowds and ventured out. I didn't go until last night and it was pretty easy to get in and out of both Best Buy and Target. I'm embarrassed and horrified that there are people that eager to get into a Wal-Mart that they knocked someone down and killed him. Seriously...no wonder people hate Americans!
Anyway, back to my keyboard. I like spending time on the piano - I've had just a few months of lessons in my lifetime, but still like to play. I've missed not having a piano and so about 9 months ago or so we happened to be in a Best Buy and I saw the keyboards. I played the keyboard for about 10 minutes while Steve looked around. It hit me that maybe I don't have to buy a full blown piano, but could get a decent keyboard for my entertainment. I decided to wait (and save) to get the keyboard. This would also prove to me (and Steve) that I was serious.
I got the keyboard last night. I played for 2 hours straight - letting my Caribou Latte get cold in the process! Today I'm going to go searching for some sheet music. My collection includes the book given with the keyboard, a Christian songbook from the 70's, and a Methodist Hymnal. While I've enjoyed playing Amazing Grace and In the Garden, I think I could use a bit of variety (or maybe Steve would appreciate variety).
If my parents still read this blog...get out the piano music for when I'm there next month! :)
