So, the other day, I believe it was a Tuesday, I was feeling antsy.  Feeling the need to do something, learn something new.  My day-to-day life is very boring and mundane.  I suppose I could try to complete a couple things off my bucket list.  But, I said to myself, that's not going to work for me.

The thought crossed my mind, for a brief minute, to go back to school.  When I say brief, I mean it.  It was about a minute long thought.  See, I've got a passion for cooking.  Cooking and baking, both, really.  But more for cooking.  So it crossed my mind to go back to school to maybe be a professional chef!  Then I thought, "Wait a second...  Is this something I really want to do?  I don't want to end up hating something I love."  So the thought diminished quickly.

Then, it crossed my mind:  Something I've wanted to learn my whole life was to learn how to play an instrument!  Guitar, it seems simple enough.  I've played guitar before.  I had an ex-boyfriend who taught me how to play "Glycerin" by Bush on guitar.  Anyway, that was 10 years ago, and no way will I remember how to play that!  Anyway, that's what I had decided.

Wednesday morning at work.  I'm excited, I'm Kijiji'ing away, looking for used guitars...  All the meanwhile thinking...  Where is this money going to come from?  I don't know, but I need to do something.  I need to learn something.  I get a package in the mail from my dear father...  And guess what it is?  A cookbook (Joy of Cooking!) and some money!

So now, I can satisfy my need to learn.  Both by becoming a better cook AND by buying a gently used guitar!  How eerie is that, hey?

Anyway, so I am going to have stuff to blog about now!  I will be keeping track of my successes and failures at becoming a master chef (like my daddy).  I will also be keeping you all up-to-date on my guitar progress (as of now, I still don't have a guitar, although Chris has one lady who is selling one.  We'll see how that goes).
