Attitude:What? What!

This Week I Was Totally Into....

My guitar again. We got some interesting rhythm patterns to learn. And we're working on the start of finger picking, which isn't even called that yet; it's called string switching. Oh, in case you were wondering, our teacher is Pascal Louval. Go to his website and check it out. He's an excellent teacher. Both T.S. and I have gotten quite a bit out of our lessons, and we've only taken three so far. Also, we were talking about shaving the forearm contour down on my guitar, but I just can't quite bring myself to do it. If it wasn't my ONLY electric guitar, or if it wasn't BRAND NEW - maybe. So, T.S. is going to build me a guitar. He might build himself a guitar too. That way I can decide exactly how I want it shaped, and what neck I want (I am sticking with the Mustang short-scale neck) and what pick-ups and tuners and what-not.

This Week I avoided....

Exercising as much as I planned. It wasn't on purpose - I just ran out of time; and when you ride the bus leaving a few minutes late is NOT an option. However, I will make up for it during the coming weekend. I was short about 45 minutes total, so I will add 15 minutes per day.

What Else Was On My Mind...

Finding new bathtub art for my book blog; I have clip art, I just have to download it.
Changing some old MPEG files into Mp3 files that can go on my iPod; can't find a good program to do it.
Getting several books from the library; a good thing, because I was down to 1 (one) unread book! For me, that's panic time.
Getting ready for our trip to Alaska; we need to start planning.
The total gorgeousness of the last few days - 70 degrees and perfect.

The Week Ahead....

Health - same old, same old.
Work - find something interesting to do for a project. Keep my mouth shut.
Personal - same old, same old.
Other stuff - Call my sister this weekend and find out when she wants to visit. Practice every day. Practice piano at least twice. Talk to Ken about Alaska trip. Get new CD's by Tool, Pearl Jam, and Anggun, and maybe Sheer Heart Attack by Queen. Buy Thunder Falls by C.J. Murphy (new release) and maybe the first Harry Potter in trade paperback.

Accomplished....

I got a lot done this week! I cleaned the living room, dining room and small bedroom carpets. Practiced guitar every day. Ordered the 2006 edition of the Milepost for our trip. Called the dentist to re-schedule my cleaning since I maxed out my dental insurance by getting a 2nd crown. Finished cleaning the house. Read a couple of books.
