New TV (journal entry)


This morning our T.V. died. Its been on the blink for the past week and today we played taps on the bugle horn for it. We've had that T.V. for a very long time. When we got that T.V. Jesse told me for... oh at least 6 months he was researching T.V.'s and waiting for the right sale. Finally the day came. We went to two different stores... best buy and... Fry's maybe. Anyway, We went back and forth between the two stores twice and he still was asking me... do you think its the right one. I rolled my eyes and thought of my poor husband with his analysis paralysis.
So... back to our T.V. that died. I thought in my mind. Oh no! Its going to take him forever to find one. I don't watch a lot of T.V. but... I like watching cartoons with Fiona and a show or two with dear hubby. (Depending on what we have DVR'd)
Surprise surprise he narrowed it down to two only took... about two hours of research and when asking me if we should get it...(from amazon) I pushed the checkout/place order button and that was that. Ta Da! Replacement T.V. shall arrive shortly.
It crossed my mind perhaps I could be the most excellent wife ever and order an in home sound system. However, the budget in my mind was $200... and apparently (after searching for 15-20 min (much less than my chosen partner :-)) that number is quite laughable. So...we'll hold off on that one.

In other news we are getting closer to the "find a house" timeline. Yay!!! Exciting. We'll be looking for a well constructed outdated ranch just north of where we are now or perhaps a condo in broadripple village. We will see what is available when the time comes. What we do know is that we don't want to be far from the monon, broadripple village, or my practice. We do want to be in a neighborhood, and have 2-4 bedrooms. I'm hoping for something we can develop into  Atomic Ranch as we get the funds but is functioning well now. I can take yellow wallpaper and green bathtubs. :-)

Miss Fiona is not a baby anymore. She is a full on toddler. She has a great personality... until she uses my own stubbornness against me but, this is just karma coming back from my childhood. ! She's a lovely little lady who likes to eat rocks, dirt, pour out her bottle while telling herself "no no no",  yell Hi to just about everyone she sees in the store or out and about, and gives me kisses when say "Fiona, I love you." :-x

In my music house I am quite the zen girl. Self lead guitar still kicking and singing with Bahama Llama. I just ordered a capo and some guitar picks for the first time ever. I've got several songs I can play... slowly. Skinny Love, Ho Hey, hallelujah, sunshine, landslide... :-). Jesse and I are going to see "The Tallest Man on Earth" at the vogue in a couple weeks. Super pumped for that. Better believe I'm fixin to get a t-shirt!  

Love and light,
H

Mother's Day!

When Fiona was first born I sang her this song. She is an amazing lady. I have many loved ones who have children of their own and those they love deeply. Children bring light to our lives and laughter to our hearts. Enjoy this first recording of my new skill guitar playing and singing. (2 weeks in) Recorded during naptime Mothers Day 2013.  




The upload wasn't done right so the sound is off. Can't fix it because little Fiona just woke up! Have a great day!

Love and Light,
Heidi
