Left Brain, Right Brain

Oh wow. I'm so pleased right now. I just got the song Sister Golden Hair in my head (if you don't know this song, you are missing out big time. It's by the 70s band America. They are awesome. Go listen to it), and I decided to see if I could find the chords for it and IT IS SO EASY AND IT SOUNDS SO GOOD. I feel so good right now. I am so eternally grateful that Jon gave me this guitar for my birthday.

And now I go to transpose the same chords over to ukulele. ^_^

Yippee!! I'm super happy and excited for a few reasons!

Reason #1 is rather private, so I choose not to share it, but please trust me that it is a very good thing. (ETA: It has nothing to do with pregnancy or anything else like that - it's just simply personal.)

Reason #2 is that I got to give Jon a giftmas present that I was really excited to give him!

Reason #3 is that Jon gave me a giftmas present too! And IT'S A UKULELE!!!!! wheeeee!! I've spent quite some time this evening tuning it (and re-tuning and re-tuning! it takes a while before the new strings stop stretching) and playing a little between tunings. I was singing Clementine and he started running the video camera and I got shy and stopped. I don't like being filmed.... But HOORAY! Now I have a piano and an electric keyboard and a guitar and a UKULELE! Yippeeeeeeee!!!!

Next order of business, re-learn to play Tiptoe Thruough the Tulips so I can sing it like Tiny Tim and annoy the living snot out of anyone who dares venture near me and my awesome new ukulele.

I think I should give it a name... it's too cute not to have one...
