a day of music

so, i started my day off by going to work to set up for three guitar ensembles and a music honor society from a local high school. i have never seen so many classical guitars in one place at one time. it was pretty amazing. they even brought a keyboard and one student played an incredible original composition. can you really beat starting your day with some live holiday music?


next, sara surprises me by bringing to a movie, "August Rush." it stars Freddie Highmore, Keri Russell, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. i love Keri Russell...i miss felicity, and i loved "Waitress." i have a huge crush on Jonathan Rhys Meyers. this movie is on the super cheesy side, but of course, it appeals to me. it wasn't really the story that i connected with, but the message that music is all around us if we listen.

i recently asked a friend what her five favorite non-musical sounds were...these are a few that i have thought of..

1. children laughing and playing
2. the sound of a can of soda opening & being poured into a glass of ice
3. the weird sound my cat, cooper, makes when i pet him
4. thunderstorms and lightning at the beach
5. hearing my dad say the words "yes sir" as only he does



we enjoyed the rest of the snow day with pizza, hot chocolate and more holiday movies. "On the 2nd Day of Christmas." Mary-Stuart Masterson & Mark Ruffalo. "Meet the Santas." Crystal Bernard & Steve Guttenberg. good stuff.
