So, back from the honeymoon, the thing I looked forward to most was getting back on a schedule: I've missed yoga, I've missed my pets, and friends (not in that order, either). I've even missed work! Well, I missed my friends at work.
So now a few weeks later, I'm starting to work on all those projects I'd stopped in lieu of wedding planning. And it occurred to me that now that I've got time for other stuff, I should learn to play the cello! So I went down, bought myself a cello and my lessons start tomorrow. I'm very excited! Why the cello, you ask? I'll let you in on a secret; when I was in high school I had no idea what I wanted to do as a 'career'. When people would ask me my plans, I would have this vision of myself in a New York loft, practicing the cello in leg warmers and Flashdance sweatshirt (it was the 80s after all). Well, as those of you who know me know, I ended up not in NY but in Europe, techno dancing my way through the 90s. Then I imagined myself as the next Stanley Kubrick so following that dream took up most of the 00s (though I quickly learned that I am no Stanley Kubrick and that shooting reality shows in the armpit states of America is a long, long way from Hollywood).
Nevertheless, I've never given up that dream of playing the cello. So here I am, twenty-plus years past high school and I'm about to turn that long-ago dream into a reality.
Now, where can I find some leg warmers?
