Yippie–it’s FRIDAY night!

This morning was amazing being able to sleep in a bit.  I was even able to function all morning without needing a cup of coffee which hasn’t happened all week.  It was also wonderful to be able to just stay home today without any errands to run or places to be.  Fall is just a very busy time for me… starting next week (for the next month) I have MMTA music seminars on Tuesday mornings.  It’s for the MMTA piano contest music and since I have students in contest now I really feel it’s beneficial to hear the notes the judges will be looking for on every song.  Plus I get to hear a good performance of every song which is always fun.  But it will steal another morning away from my week and I need to line up a sitter to come and watch the kids yet… I’ll be happy when November rolls around and Tim is home again and things have slowed down.

On an amusing note… I had a student come to his first lesson, after having the entire summer off.  Apparently he was quite diligent about logging his minutes during the vacation and had come up with an astonishing total:  2,340 minutes.  😀  I can honestly say I’ve never seen that total.  But there it was, logged in his book.  And I could even see all the little 20 and 30 minute practice sessions recorded in the practice boxes, so I had no reason to doubt him.  After getting through a few books, however, it became apparent that he liked certain songs better than others (um, ONE in particular) so most of his songs were pretty rocky… but the total was still an amusing discovery.

I’m going to take some pictures tomorrow since I noticed I didn’t post any this week.
