Okay, Jess. You (and Ginny and Tami) asked, so here goes. Random things about myself. Very random. Boring. :-)
1. My mom had 7 children and I have 7 children.
2. I am learning to play the oboe....started as an adult never having played any instrument before. I love it! I take oboe lessons for the first time in my life.
3. I like Sudoku puzzles. One a day, at the least. Sudokuoftheday.com is great.
4. My 2GB Ipod Nano is not big enough. I enjoy listening to audio books, podcasts, and of course, music. (I prefer using speakers, not headphones).
5. I am a night owl. Reformation isn't possible--I've tried.
6. My favorite Christmas music is Handel's Messiah. The whole thing.
7. I love to sew. Oh, is that one obvious? Okay, how about, I don't like to cook?
8. Dark chocolate is absolutely the bomb. Love the stuff!
Now for some cuteness-- This is Emily reading Christmas books from the Christmas book bag that only comes out one month a year.

I just commented on your skirt entry, thought I'd say "way to go" on learning the oboe. Other than being a SAHM, I teach violin lessons to youngsters. Good for you to pursue music now as an adult!
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteI see this post is from 2007 but I'll comment anyway. Are you still playing the oboe? Last year I started learning the violin which I am finding quite challenging. So I'm encouraged to hear about you learning an instrument as an adult.
Is the oboe difficult?
