La Bene Vita

Sunday

After much driving and a lovely visit with my parents, we made it to Southern Shores, NC. I pigged out in the car for two days, but now I feel bloated and blechy, so I'll go back to recording my food. Maybe.

Learn one new cover band song per week.
Goal met. Technically, I have "Cannonball" down and memorized on bass. Although, I suppose I should learn how to sing it, too!

Launch one new Potbelly song per week.
Goal met with "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (which I'm not sure went over well) and ""Back to Black" by Amy Winehouse (which, although it's a piano song, kicks ass on acoustic guitar.)

Write one new original song per month.
Goal met: "Longing"  [13+]

Post at WordPress at least once per week.

...and I stopped recording when I cleared 40 points. Eh. It's vacation.

Keith and I have the kids, so I'm playing the week by ear. The kids packed up the Wii, and of course they forgot a piece. We have overcast skies and scattered showers today, courtesy of Hurricane Bill. We may walk to the beach, go shopping for a new blankie (since we left Abby's behind! ), jam together (we brought an acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, microphone, two amplifiers, and a keyboard), hang out in the private pool or hot tub, play games, read, or I may work on some of my goals while the kids play. Whatever I decide to do, stress is not permitted!

PS: Our couch is upholstered with flip-flop fabric.
