I think I'll be OK with Christmas as long as I (we) can find ways to celebrate it that are true to what we value. I hope you can do the same.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-33558010932041095982013-11-25T18:58:16.725-08:002013-11-25T18:58:16.725-08:00You're right Ariel, I'm really lucky to ha...You're right Ariel, I'm really lucky to have my band!

I'm a little afraid that I'm starting to hate Christmas and all holidays, but I think it's good to have things, like your band performance, to remind ourselves that we can still enjoy the festivities.

I miss playing music with friends and regret not doing it more often back then when I had the time.Arielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11406223623869440728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-22061035802099375802013-11-23T12:39:37.463-08:002013-11-23T12:39:37.463-08:00Yup, they did make the evening better!

But then, one of the tunes we are playing is "Sleigh Ride," and jolly as it is, it can kind of grate on our nerves after a while. Although, I did a lot better on my parts last rehearsal, so that made me feel a bit better about it. Mmmm, you should go get yourself some seashells now! Wine is time sensitive of course.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227945636407573872.post-69043952594433716982013-11-23T12:36:42.916-08:002013-11-23T12:36:42.916-08:00Right, I almost forgot about the flute.

Sorry you're in a crummy place, but hope that prescription gave you a little sense of indulgence and peaceful night's sleep!<br /><br />But seriously, -20C?! I think I've forgotten about the reality of Canadian winters...I couldn't cope anymore. At least you're garuaranteed a white Christmas!<br /><br />Your image of 'trying naturally' made me smile. That's *totally* how we did it. ('Quick, I'm ovulating! Let's get to that field pronto, and don't forget the herbal tea or the flute!' ;) Sadiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325203869605294768noreply@blogger.com
