So I am trying to learn the bagpipes. I was never good at it, but do enjoy it (similar to swimming). I have not played for the last 2 years so decided it was time to pick them up again, starting with the chanter. Hubby picked up Logan at 4pm and I stayed in town and went to a womens house for the lessons. She is super nice and wouldnt even accept payment until we get into the bagpipes. I did a million times better then I though I have a LONG way to go. I really have to practice hard to get my fingers to work again. Also, I have to go pick up a harder chanter reed. I blow so hard my chanter cuts out. It is so frustrating. I will keep practicing though.
This is me playing at my friends wedding. The pic is good but It was pretty much one of the most embarressing moments. My mouth was so dry (nerves) that I kept choking meaning no sound would come out. Oh well - live and learn. They were very nice to still smile when I played :)
After lessons I went to Zumba - it is intense but so fun. Today I am going to the gym at lunch to do a run. I know the treadmill is not the same as outside but it is the same leg movements. Maybe if its nice tonight I will take Logan for a run but its cold and rainy here today.
