First, I want to say that I hope everyone had a wonderful, safe holiday (however you chose to celebrate). I think that I had one of, if not, the best I have ever had. And I will tell you that I think part of it had to do with the fact that there were some suprises. Some very wonderful surprises.
It was completely unexpected. In fact, I was told only a week or two ago quite emphatically, that I was NOT getting a keyboard for Christmas. So I had begun trying to figure out ways of getting what I want (it's what I do).
I had received several gift cards to Target and an American Express gift card, not a ton of money...but enough to get myself what I thought would be a respectable keyboard to at least attempt to determine if I even wanted to learn to play. After sharing my idea with Doug on Christmas Eve morning...I was promptly told that we would not be purchasing a muscial instrument from Target.
This was going to be harder than I thought. I dropped it for the moment.
Enter Christmas morning...
None of us got very much sleep because we were all too excited about what we had gotten for everyone else. We all jumped up at 6a.m. and started with the stockings. I wanted Doug to start opening up all of his stuff, but there was a note in my stocking from "the big guy". It said that instructions had been left with Doug in regards to my present. Doug said we had to go into the garage...okay.
I'm not stupid, clearly my gift was in the garage, but what the hell was it. When we stepped into the garage, Doug and my Mom where hot on my heels, there it was plugged in and ready to play. I can not tell a lie...I started crying. It was amazing. I don't think that I have ever been completely surprised like that. It was great!!
I will tell you that I am such a musical genious that I can already play "Mary Had A Little Lamb"...Mozart is shaking in his cold, unmarked, poverty stricken grave...
