I bought a guitar!

So a fact that only some people know about me is that I've wanted to play the guitar for a long time now. Possibly since high school, at least for the last 10 years. It's one of those things that I think about every now and again, wistfully, a "someday" kind of thought.

It's come up again recently, and my darling nagging persistent husband has been insisting that I take some "fun money" from our income tax refund and get myself a "beginner" guitar.

I've been sitting on the fence with it for a while. What if I stink? What if I don't follow through with it? What if I end up hating it? So many unknowns.

This morning I was out shopping alone and decided to take the plunge. Screw it. I don't want one of death bed regrets someday to be that I never took a chance on trying out the guitar. Maybe I will stink...but the only way to find that out is to go ahead and take the risk.

as far as i see it... homeschooling gives you the excuse to eventually own an orchestra...

Hey Deb, the homeschooling thing is actually one of my arguments in favour of getting this guitar! :)

Juanita, it's just an inexpensive acoustic guitar. Beginner model. ;)

If you want electric drums, then I say go for it!!!

LOL, I should go for it, and would, if a spare $1000+ fell into my lap! :)
