Last night i talked with my dad about future purchases. Last year I purchased a keyboard. This year my family purchased a computer. Now I am planning to purchase these three things (in order as they appear): Microphone and stand, Mixer and Speaker. This way I can sing when I play my keyboard, and also record with better quality. I told my dad and my mom that I would try to work on (possibly for New Year’s Resolutions) saying `I would like’ instead of `I want’, and `purchase’ in stead of `buy’. I have been playing on my keyboard a lot lately. I have also been playing on my piano a lot lately too. For my 12th birthday I got a file cabinet to put my innumerable piano books in. Tonight i get to go downtown and make Christmas cookies in B.E. mick’s window from 6:00 to 6:30. Then I get to play in the adult bell choir from 6:30 to 7:00. Then I play in the children’s bell choir from 7:00 to 7:30. After that I play with my bell quartet from 7:30 to 7:45. In the adult quartet I play with the director’s (Ron Peterson) daughter on `G’, `A’, `B’, `C’, and `D’. Last night, though, she had to fill in for someone who was sick so I got to play all of them alone. It was fun! I hope I can do it again tonight!
