I'm Taking Guitar Lessons



...well, when my guitar is paid off and out of lay-away I will start guitar lessons.

I talked briefly about wanting to learn to play guitar a few weeks ago. I was thinking I'd learn on an acoustic just to fiddle around with it casually. I also said how I'd like to learn but didn't want my husband (whose been playing since he was a kid) to teach me because I wouldn't want to listen to him. (He tried to teach me how to play euchre and I just couldn't get it with him teaching me but my sister-in-law was able to teach me euchre. I just can't take direction from my husband! It's ingrained in me not to listen to him.)

Anyway, my husband just came home from taking his guitar in for repair to tell me he put a guitar in lay-away for me. I freaked out (over the money). He says what he always says when it comes to guitars - - it was a good deal and we have three months to pay for it. This is a picture of it (above). It's not an acoustic (he said learning to play on an electric would be easier). He says it plays nice (and it's the finish he knows I like...at this stage, all I can say is I like the way it looks since I know nothing about how to play).

Oh boy, now I really do have to learn how to play guitar since he is buying one for me. At 37 years old, I'm wondering if it's too late to teach an old dog new tricks!

Post 3: Somebody Stole My Bank Card Number

Well, finally we have a conclusion to somebody stealing my bank card number and shopping all over the United Kingdom with it! (For background, see the first and second post.)

All the fraud charges were reversed on my card. My bank, who seemed to enjoy charging me overdraft fees every single day this whole ordeal went on even though they knew my account was with the fraud division of their bank, finally reversed all their charges too. We got our money back.

We never were able to file a police report. Every time we went to our police department, they were closed. Locked up tight. Nobody working. Our tax dollars at work!! We don't know how my bank card number made it to the United Kingdom and there isn't a police report to go after the people who did this (which likely wouldn't result in any charges anyway...these hackers are good). It's over with.

Now that our money is back, it won't be there long. I'm not keeping that account.

Father's Day Gifts - How about mens sunglasses?

My husband would love a nice pair of sunglasses for Father's Day this year. He does not go anywhere without them. He keeps a pair in both vehicles and in the house so he's never without. I would imagine he's not the only father who would like a new pair of Mens Sunglasses.


The holiday for dads will be here before you know it. Father's Day is the third Sunday in June (June 21, 2009) if you're in the United States or United Kingdom. Don't miss showing dad how much you appreciate him this year with a great gift for your own father or for the father of your children.
