My new favorite thing....

I've been wanting something for several months now... I think about it all the time, and I get overly excited to think about actually having it. I have all sorts of plans about what I will do with one in the future, and I've become a little obsessed with it. I wanted one for Christmas, but that didn't end up panning out the way I thought it would. I thought maybe I would ask for one for my birthday, but I was still hesitant. In reality, I could probably have just gone out and found one myself, but I kept putting it off for some reason.

Well...

My birthday is at the end of the month, and for some lucky reason, I got an early birthday present... A UKELELE!! I can't tell you how excited I am about this. I've already been on YouTube learning chords, tuning it on my piano, and I'm starting to learn how to play "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World". I can't wait to be able to sit down and just play songs. I'm totally gonna play for my students, and they will think Miss Clark is the weirdest teacher they've ever had. And I will love it. I will play for my nieces, and my eventual nephews. And they will tell me that I'm weird, and I will love it. Oh my heck, I just thought about finding a hymn book for the ukelele. Oh no, now I'm even more excited..
Only catch though... I'm really not much of a singer, so everyone else will have to sing for me. But it won't slow me down!
My new favorite thing.. my ukelele. :)
