learning guitar and other random bits of progress

okay, so i learned one of my 5 songs. except that i actually kinda learned 2 songs today.

i completely suck at both. but that's kinda the point, isn't it?

maybe if i quit smoking for real, i'll take the acoustic to school for something to do during the breaks that still gets me out of the room.

even if i don't quite smoking, i'm totally going to quit smoking at school.

but--even if i fail at quitting, i get to cross something off the list!

i've been smoke-free since sunday afteroon! in just 2 short hours i will have accomplished the "smoke free for 5 days" item. yay!

this just in: we're thinking pretty hard about a trip to spain (where the rain, it is told...oh nevermind). it's actually kind of a trip to france that begins in spain and might or might not involve renting a car.

i'm like 87% sure we're going to bilbao and it's quite likely we'll spend christmas day in paris this year.

there are worse places to turn 33 (just ask jesus).
