Ramblings in A Minor


I made cinnamon rolls from scratch today. I found out that, it is not a recipe for the baking novice. I didn't think that they were that good but others did. I wanted the OH MY GOD!!! factor in it since it was a cinnabon recipe. I think i have my piano sold finally. I like Crag's list only thing is.,You can only have one person come over to look at the thing you are selling. And then if they don't want it after looking at it you've wasted your time and then you have email another person and then another and so on. And then it wastes your time and your day. I thought i had the piano sold last week, but then the peeps couldn't find some where to store the piano for 3 months, come on why even look then, i was disappointed because i thought i had it sold. So a guy came to look at it today. And he even gave me the money $20.00 and he said he would pick it up tomorrow. Fingers crossed he does and just doesn' t want his money back. He played every key, i could tell he was a pro at playing. It was so cold today it snowed a couple of inchs yesterday and it was a surprise. I scooped the sidewalks and driveway ( my husband and roommate were at work so i had to do it) and i took 3 boxes of junk out to the trash. man i knew i was a pack rat, but this is rediculus. i kept everything i mean everything from college in the way of text books, papers ect. I have started dejunking my basement and it is going to be a long road to go through all of the boxes of junk. Im just taking it room by room and box/pile by box/pile with a donate/trash/keep/sell/ upstares box to put stuff in. I am not donating anything to the salvation army i was recently told they do not support gay marriage so i made sure not to give anything to the bell ringers this year.

I want to get the piano out of here tomorrow because we are having a sushi making party next weekend. I am so excited. It will be a lot of fun. My husband and I are hosting the party of 8-10 of his co-worker friends. We will be shown how to do it and then we can make our own. We are going to set up little stations. So we need the piano out of there so we have room. Our house is the get together house so many people tell me they love hanging out here. Last summer every weekend we had people over. It was getting to be to much and expensive. Any way back to the piano. My friend from high school's wife gave me her childhood piano. If i new how bad a dozen of the strings needed to be replaced i wouldn't of had my best guy freind bring it over. It would not keep in tune. 6 months after tuning it it was out of tune again. It just wasn't worth haveing it tool up to much room. In the future i am going to get an electric piano. They don't need to be tuned and are smaller
