productive and exciting weekend

we bought our car on saturday.  that was scary!  i think it was almost scarier buying the car then my first house!  it sounds silly i know, but at least with a house you're usually not just throwing money away, unlike a car which will depreciate every mile we drive it!   and driving it off the lot was scary.  i thought for sure we were going to get in an accident the moment we turned the corner.  but it's been 2 days and no nicks or scratches!  so, if any of you is looking for a high mileage 2-door honda civic, let us know.  we're posting a ad soon.  it's seen it's better days, but runs like a champ and gets fab mileage.

then today we got our free piano.  what's strange is that it's still in tune...well, as much as we can tell.  it sounds like it's in pretty good tune.  it was a bear to move, but with the help of some strapping young men, we got it in the living room...now i just need to learn to play.  i used to play percussion and therefore, had to learn the xylophone, so i could read music a bit and i knew the keys back in the 8th grade...but, well, that was an amazingly long time ago.  i'm excited to learn though.  i've always wanted to play the piano.  i figure i can't sing and there's nothing i can do about that.  i'm hideous, truly.  but i can learn to play an instrument...at least, i hope i can!
