Weekend update

The weekend was OK. I had a ton to do and just not enough hours. In addition to work, and cleaning, and the usual soccer, I had my second piano lesson. It was great. Apparently I'm too hard on myself and I am doing way better than most adults on their second class. Of course, I have had many years of music experience. But according to the piano teacher, playing the piano is a whole other story. So yay!

I went out to dinner with the family on Sunday for Father's Day. And while I have allegedly done so in the past, this year I really did find the perfect card for my dad. It said: "I know that all these years I was a little difficult, hard-headed at times, and had that know-it-all attitude, but there was a good reason for all that: HEREDITY!" Boy oh boy, that card sure got it all right and dad got a great laugh from it.

My dad and I had always had that special bond, and I think maybe it made my mom just a little jealous. My brother and she were making fun of us while we were waiting to be seated for dinner. Some things just never change! No matter what though, we've always been a happy family, and I really appreciate that. There are also a lot of people around me that don't get along with their parents that they don't even call them, and that just blows my mind, and makes me appreciate mine just a little bit more.

All in all it was a good weekend, but if I had less work to do, it would have been even better.
