I am sorry for abandoning you, Ms. Blog! I have had things going on but no time to write (or in other words, I didn’t take any time to write :D)
Friday, J got Rock Band and brought it home. This game is sweeeet!! I am the drummer that I have always wanted to be now. The backstory on my drumming dream is when I was in 5th grade, we had to pick our elective classes for the next year in Junior High. I chose band class, and for my instrument, I picked the drums. I waited all summer, excited to play my drums. I walk into class and there are two drum kits, and there are already boys sitting at them. They told me I had to pick a clarinet or something else because the boys already had the drums. I was livid! I switched electives a few days later. I have always been pissed that I was not given my drums! Rock Band is really realistic feeling and there are some great songs that you can unlock. I have pretty much played non stop for 2 days. I have improved a lot, but I am getting worried the sound the drumsticks make is going to get me a warning from my apartment neighbors. No one has complained yet though.
I spent a few hours yesterday at the mall, boy, was that ever fun. The traffic to the mall was incredible! I know it is to be expected the last weekend before Xmas but it was pretty crazy. I wanted to pick up a few more things for J because since I am a dumbass and gave him his birthday present before Xmas now I have to get him a birthday present. Hehehehe oh well. I grabbed him a few things and grabbed me some jeans which I have desperately needed. I got a few more Xmas gifts last night to my surprise as well. J gave me a Presto Pizzazz, which I always thought were so cool, I can not wait to use it. He also gave me a 100 dollar visa gift card… now that is awesome. He really got me a lot of stuff this year! Oh yes he also ordered us both some Tempurpedic pillows online which is sweet! We got a Tempurpedic bed in August so the pillows will be the finishing touch. I also got a check from my dad for 100 bucks, woot! I am going to take the 100 gift card and buy myself a comfortable computer chair, and the 100 from my dad will go towards a digital camera that I have been wanting for a while. The only camera that I have owned for years was whatever camera my cell phone had at the time. While technology has come a long way, the pictures are rarely how I want them and the shutter takes too long to get a good shot, Although I must admit I have kind of mastered the cell phone photography genre.
I had to get up at 4:50 AM this morning to drive J to the airport. That sucked, but I got there and back and passed back out for a while. He will be gone for 3 days
I will be lonely but I have my kids here to keep me company so it’s gonna be alright. Ok I am starving for some lunch. I’m out!

As far as the loud drumsticks, if you know of a music store near you that sells drum sticks you could see if they have the ones that they use for Tymphany drums. They have big round cotton or rubber tips. So they may be hard enough to still play the game but not so loud as to be too noisy for you or your neighbors.
