NYE is over rated! :)

Well it is just me at home tonight. The man of the house is out playing music with his friends. He is writing songs and getting input and such. Really, I have no idea what he is doing because I am not that musical. For instance, last night:

Ted: Hey, help me finish writing this song. We can do it together, it will be fun.

Me: Ummm...okay. (He NEVER comes from the Basement Corner (as I call it secretly, it is where my husband dwells in his spare time...no garages for him!) asking for help. Well except one time when he wanted me to play a steady beat on his drumset...but that night did not turn out well.) :)

Ted: Alright this is what I have so far....(plays song on electric guitar, sings first verse and chorus)

Now, I know this beginning of the song by heart because I have heard it about 200 times echoing up from the basement over the past month.

Ted: I was thinking about writing about how "pride comes before the fall" and how I've fallen.

He looks at me.

Me: Umm...okay.

He scribbles lyrics, sings them a few times.

Ted: Okay, now I need to say something about the price of apologies. What do you think?

He looks at me.

Me: Ummm...apologies cost more than you could ever think.

Ted: Okay...maybe..

Me (Still in the mode of thinking up lyrics)I sing loudly: Apologies cost more than you could ever think, okay she's right I do look good in pink!

He looks at me like I am crazy and then proceeds to finish up the second verse kind of on his own and then retreats back to his corner.

Me: Glad I could help!! :)

(FYI: I am aware that songs don't need to rhyme...but I was trying my best!)


So, anyway, tonight Ted is off with musical people who can actually help and inspire him. :)

For me, I am going to clean up the house for some COMPANY we are having tomorrow and I am taking down some of the Christmas decorations. I took some ornaments off the tree and I felt like Charlie Brown when he was trying to hang one up. Needles fell by the hundreds and I could hear the piano keys tinking inside my head as they fell. (You'd have to see A Charlie Brown Christmas)

The COMPANY that I am SOOOO excited for is:

1. Will and Julie (Ted's brother and wife) and their children, Maddie (3) and Bailey (1). They are coming for a quick visit/tour.

AND

2. My dad and his fiance Tami are coming up for two nights. We haven't seen my dad or Tami since my graduation, and it will be fun taking them out on the town for NYE. As long as we are home by 10pm, my dad likes his early nights! ;)

New Year's Eve is over rated anyway. I always feel like I should have on a dress that just makes me sparkle with beauty and we should be at a swank party and dance the night away. It's so silly. :) (But, hey, who says I can't someday????) I like the low key nights with my hubby anyway!
