vacation.

So technically, Miranda's summer vacation starts today. Patrick and Nellie will still be going to daycare and will continue to do so on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Since we didn't get to weigh in yesterday, we are going to try to weigh in this morning (I may not if I get too busy). If I get to weigh in, I will be a lifetime member since I hit my target weight and have maintained it for 6 weeks. Yay me!

I missed the Oklahoma Steel Guitar Association convention this year again. Kinda sad about that. I had a fun time with them when I lived in Vinita. Speaking of that, I'm supposed to play an instrumental at church on Friday night at Fellowship meeting. I don't know about that though. I'm a backup player and not an instrumental player. I may be able to stumble through something though.

I brought my small Marshall amp home from church, my bar and picks, and a chord. I'm going to try to get my lap steel out and practice some. It a cheap (and I mean cheap as in terrible quality and not just price) guitar but it works. Since it's only a 6 string, it's a completely different tuning than my pedal steel (12 strings, 7 knee levers, 5 pedals). You are a lot more limited on a lap steel.

Maybe my next instrument will be the Cajun accordion! Actually it won't. I'm not a huge fan of accordion music (even Flaco Jimenez!). You can get a Cajun accordion pretty cheaply though. Maybe Cajun steel guitar?
